Last Christmas (like, literally- Christmas Day) I posted a photo on Instagram of the dessert I made to take to our family Christmas dinner and everyone begged for the recipe. I promised I’d post it before the following Christmas, and here we are! Signed, sealed, and delivered. Most people who know me, know that my […]
One of my very most favorite Christmas treats are cream cheese mints. And when I say “Christmas treats,” I really mean “any time treats.” But in my brain, these will always be Christmas mints (and Mormon wedding reception mints) because we always made these at Christmas when I was growing up.

I have a weird and complicated relationship with pecan pie. We get so many requests for pecan pie, especially around this time of year, but I’ve always resisted due to lingering deep-seated tweenage rebellion. But. I kind of love pecan pie. Don’t tell anyone. I mean, if I’m faced with a Thanksgiving cheesecake and pecan […]
