I have some very exciting things coming your way this month (!!):
two new cookie recipes that'll knock your socks off
a breakfast casserole recipe perfect for the holidays
a cheesecake that's going to blow your mind (seriously: blow.your.mind)
and...FINALLY...my cookbook will be available pre-order (I know you've been waiting for this - thanks for your patience! Monday is the big day!)
It's the best month of the year for baking, cooking and creating! Below I've included a few of my favorite recipes to make this month.
Stay tuned for all the goodness still to come!
#1 Overnight Creme Brûlée French Toast Bake
I just made this exceptional French toast bake for over 20 family members visiting for Thanksgiving, and it was a huge hit! (Also, the overnight prep is a lifesaver.) It is one of the tastiest breakfast recipes ever!
#2 Twixster Cookies {Shortbread + Caramel + Cookies}
These cookies are amazing - definitely one of my all-time favorite cookies ever! That buttery, tender, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread layer + soft and chewy caramel + chocolate (drizzled or slathered, your choice) is out of this world yummy.
SO MANY of you made this stunning holiday cake last year. 😍 It is a must-make this December (promise me you'll make it??). Mary says:This cake is a large part of the reason there are now eight (!) bags of cranberries in my freezer. I found the recipe about this time last year and have made it about once a month ever since. Love, love, love it.
These gingerbread caramels just scream HOLIDAYS. And CHRISTMAS. And COZY EVENINGS IN FLANNEL PJS. And DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE WITH THE WHOLE BATCH OR THERE WILL BE TROUBLE. They are amazing!
People go crazy over this stuff. And it couldn't be easier: toss everything in a blender or food processor and give it all a good chop. One commenter said:this has turned into a Holiday staple for me. So easy and flavorful.
Best cheesecake ever? So good you'll cry? One million times better than any restaurant? Those are all the feels (and more) when it comes to this amazing white chocolate raspberry truffle cheesecake. Lanette says:This is to die for. I was a little worried about knowing if it was done or not, but it came out beautifully. Everyone loved it!
A veggie dip in this holiday lineup?? Hear me out! A really good veggie dip is perfect for almost any occasion, including all the holiday get togethers you may have in your future. This one is so good, you might find yourself craving it instead of all the holiday cookies around!
A twist on Hershey's kiss cookies, these pretty chocolate peppermint crinkle blossom cookies make the perfect Christmas cookie! Pro tip:freeze the striped Hershey's kisses before planting them on top of the hot cookies so they hold their shape better.
One of my absolute favorite "salads" (yes, I know that term could and should be debated for this recipe) this time of year! Renee commented:LOVE THIS, a new must have on the holiday table at our home. We started calling it Cranberry Cheesecake Fluff. 🙂 Thank you, Mel!
My holiday gift guides are some of the most popular posts on my site all year! The ideas are all unsponsored - legit items we've bought or been gifted and have LOVED. The comments are filled with so many other great ideas, too!
It makes me so happy when you leave reviews and comments on the recipes you love!
Sharon:These rolls are fabulous and so easy! I decided to try a new roll for Thanksgiving and these did not disappoint. The dough was so easy to work with. And as advertised, these are very fluffy and SO good. They were a hit! Can't wait to make them again.
Nina:As promised, this was EASY and magically delicious! I made this one and the regular for Thanksgiving. Everyone thought I was genius; of course, I had to agree with them.
to cut through all the sweetness overload (so fresh and tasty, this one)
This is one of my favorite times of the year...but I also know how stressful and overwhelming it can be (I'm feeling particularly overwhelmed this year and trying to get a handle on that!). I hope you are hanging in there! Sending lots of love and peace your way.
If you want a little pick-me-up, check out this update on the amazing refugee winter kit project many of you helped with in November. My goal was 100 kits, and you helped us achieve over 1,600 kits! Your impact will be felt the world over! Thank you for helping (and inspiring me to want to be a better person!). 💗
