Happy Holidays + a few Christmas recipe ideas πŸŽ„πŸ’“

Published 9 months agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

Hi, Reader πŸ‘‹

I've purposely been not sending tons of emails leading up to Christmas because I know everyone is busy and has things to do!

With that said, I have tons of Christmas recipes that you can peruse if you so choose to find something that will suit Santa's palate and be a hit with the family as they chow down on cookies in between opening gifts.

And here are a few reader favorites if that recipe index has you feeling overwhelmed:

  • ​No Chill Sugar Cookies - Delicious cookie cutter sugar cookies, ready in 30 minutes
    ​
  • ​Peppermint Bark - Williams Sonoma who? πŸ˜‰
    ​
  • ​Yule Log Cake - This is hands down (mittens down?) the recipe I get tagged in photos and sent emails with the pictures of the most!
    ​
  • ​Grinch Cookies - Actually, it might be a tie with these adorable green cookies.
    ​
  • ​Christmas Crack - Don't let the name turn you off, it's so easy and so good.
    ​
  • ​Gingerbread Cheesecake Cookies - these are more effort than most of my recipes, but when I tell you the result is worth it... 🀀
    ​
  • ​One Big Sugar Cookie - If you're having a small Christmas alone or just with a partner and you don't want dozens of cookies lingering, this is the perfect recipe
  • ​Homemade Eggnog - It doesn't waste the egg whites! Looks great in a reindeer mug Γ  la Christmas Vacation. Just saying.
    ​
  • ​Mulled Wine - Not into eggnog? Try my easy peasy mulled wine!
    ​
  • ​Gingerbread Cake Roll - Not a chocolate fan? Give my gingerbread cake roll with eggnog cream cheese filling a try.
    ​
  • ​Cranberry Mimosa - The easiest cocktail to make to celebrate/get you through the holidays

Like they say in my favorite Christmas Movie,
​light the lamp, not the rat!
