Nothing says comfort quite like a big slice of warm apple pie – topped with a melty scoop of vanilla ice cream, of course. I enjoy apple pie no matter the season, but I tend to bake a lot more around the holidays. Whether I’m giving neighbors my signature pie as a homemade gift or crowding a dessert buffet with everything from cookies to brownies to pies, I’ll bake my fair share between now and Christmas Day.

Happy Spiraldays
Were you spiralizing all summer long? We used our garden fresh zucchini and squash to make everything from Spiralizer Thai Vegetable and Chicken Salad to Lemon Garlic Shrimp and Veggie Pasta. But summer is over and the holiday season is in full swing. Just because you’re not making regular trips to the garden doesn’t mean you should put your spiralizer away.

Whether you are making breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert, you’ll want to have the spiralizer in the kitchen this holiday season to help make some of these festive recipes. Happy spiraldays!
Stack them High: Holiday Waffles
I think it’s safe to say that the holiday season is the best time of year to satisfy your sweet tooth. Whether you are drinking hot chocolate, partaking in an all-day cookie baking marathon (I wonder how much cookie dough I’ll eat between now and December 25th?), or snacking on red and green M&Ms, there are plenty of sweets to enjoy. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.
Snuggle up with slow cooker hot chocolate
It’s that time of year when all I want to do is put on my warmest pajamas, snuggle up on the couch with the fuzziest blanket I can find, and preferably never move. While I love the snow, I’m not the biggest fan of consistently cold weather – but there are a few things that make it bearable.

Satisfying Snow Day Breakfasts
Snow falls overnight and you wake up to find that both the office and school are closed. You crawl back into bed for a couple of hours and wake up to a full house (full of hungry bellies). With the kids home from school, it’s a great time to get the entire family in the kitchen and cook a big breakfast. After all, you’ll need to fuel up before a day packed with sledding, snowball fights, and snowman construction. These breakfast recipes are perfect for chilly snow day mornings. Put on your coziest sweatpants and fuzziest wool socks and head to the kitchen.
