What do you do when you have 2 jars of Nutella in the pantry? My first thought was to crack one open and eat it with a spoon (don’t lie, I know you were thinking the same thing). Despite my desires, I did the mature thing. I baked these 3 ingredient Nutella cookies and gave them to my neighbors for the holidays.

Do you feel crunched for time this holiday season? With all the shopping, traveling, and hosting, it can be so hard to find the time to cook meals and desserts from scratch. I’ve got you covered with this super simple butter pecan pound cake recipe.

In the fall and winter, I love to make a lot of casserole dishes because they are warm, filling, and can last throughout the week. My kids love pasta and I’m trying to sneak more veggies into their diet whenever I can. That’s where this roasted Mediterranean vegetable baked ziti comes in.

One of my absolute favorite parts about the holiday season is having more excuses to bake. I love to bake for a couple reasons. First, I find it very therapeutic and relaxing. Second, I love making things to share with the people I love.

This bacon-braised Brussels sprouts recipe is one of our annual holiday family favorites. Wow, I can’t believe Thanksgiving is almost here! Do you have any favorite family recipes you make every year? This is one of our go-to recipes during the holidays because Brussels sprouts are in season and who doesn’t love veggies covered in bacon, bread crumbs, and cheese?

Have you ever heard of pasta fagioli? First, it’s Italian so it’s technically called pasta e fagioli, pronounced “pas-ta fa-jo-li” in English, and literally means ‘pasta and beans’. It’s a classic Italian soup, but depending on the variety of bean and type of pasta, it can almost be called a stew.

Are you into sweet potato recipes for your holiday meals? What are your go-to side dishes? We almost always make cornbread stuffing, mac and cheese, and roasted Brussels sprouts. Every now and then, we’ll also make a sweet potato casserole.

What do you get when you mix Dr Pepper and popcorn? A ridiculously delicious Dr Pepper caramel corn recipe. To be honest with you, I had my doubts about this recipe. However, I’m so glad I tried it because it is such a fun and easy way to make caramel corn.

What are you making for the holidays this year? Tired of regular mashed potatoes? I think you should try garlic smashed potatoes as one of your holiday side dishes this year. Why – you ask? Well, these are so easy to make and taste so much better than your standard mashed potatoes.
