9 Of The Best Recipes To Try This Holiday Season

The long wait is over. Christmas is here again. Or, as my brother-in-law likes to call it, the plumping season. But really…he’s not wrong!

I love everything about this time of year. Well, except for wrapping all of the gifts. Lucky for me, my husband does most of the wrapping. All I have to do is add some printable gift tags and place them under the tree.

But I digress.

I love the traditions. The twinkle of the lights glowing on the tree. The smell of fresh pine. And the food!

Ohhhh the food!

I’m sure most of you know by now that I’m a big fan of cooking and baking, especially during Christmas. And I’m always on the hunt for new recipes for yummy holiday eats.

If you love festive seasonal foods too, then you’re in luck. Today I’m teaming up with some of my blogging friends to share 9 of the best must-try recipes this holiday season

From fudge and cookies to my recipe for an easy Christmas morning quiche, there’s a little bit of everything.

You can find all of the recipes linked below. I can’t wait to give them a try, and I hope you enjoy them too. If you love them, don’t forget to save them for later. And join me on Pinterest to see what other treats I love to make this time of year.

Delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies | Open Doors Open Hearts

There is truly nothing more warm and cozy than fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies on a cold winter day.

      Well…I don’t know how healthy it is with all of the bacon and cheese, but I like how you think! Does that mean I don’t have to feel guilty now when I eat more than one piece?😂
