Our family goes nuts over pecan ball cookies! These cookies are from my in-law’s recipe box and has been a family holiday tradition for years. You may also know them as Mexican Wedding Cookies. So simple yet so delicious. How can you go wrong with butter, nuts and sugar? They are great for the holiday…

Bestyet Cake
Friends of ours made this cake for us almost a year ago and I have found myself thinking about it ever since. The flavors are so fresh and nostalgic. In truth, I probably would not have picked this recipe out of a cookbook – I always pick chocolate! But what a mistake! I am so…
Simple Tiramisu
My husband makes the most incredible Christmas Dinner Dessert… it’s an Eggnog Tiramisu Trifle. OMG. It takes him almost a full day to make it but it’s worth it… at least for me 😉 I highly recommend it. But usually around this time of year, I discover that a “just-in-case” package of ladyfingers remain. Since…
Crêpes Suzette
Crêpes Suzette is a delicate, buttery, orange-flavored dessert that makes any occasion special. Since I like to do this dessert while entertaining, it was important to find a way to streamline the process. You can make this as simple or intricate as you would like. For instance, you can choose to make your own crepes…
Grand Marnier Butter
Warm breakfast breads are already delicious, but they can be made a special occasion with this Grand Marnier Butter. Using the signature liquor, the butter takes on the flavors of bitter orange, balanced by cognac notes of hazelnuts and toffee. Adding a little sugar cuts the edge of the bitter, and the fresh orange juice…
White Chocolate Truffle Snowmen
How can you not smile when you see these festive, and delicious!, winter treats? The snowmen can be made in advance, which make them an ideal dessert during the busy holiday season. I have found that for every twelve cookies, I can make around twelve truffles. So adjust your ingredient totals to how many truffles…
Nutbutter Oat Bites
For those on the go, (or for those of us that just had a baby!) these are the best snacks to have in the freezer. Loaded with protein and so much satisfying flavor, these bites are sure to curb that hunger and provide you with a boost of energy. The chocolate and dried fruit also…
Christmas Chocolate Toffee Crackle
I may be referring to this recipe as crackle but in our family, it is simply known as crack. Sweet and salty, this absolutely delicious treat is a must at our family Christmas gatherings. In addition to being super tasty, it’s also super easy to make and can be done in advance. My favorite topping…
Rudolph Oreo Chocolate Truffles
Since we are now a proud aunt & uncle of the cutest nieces & nephew, we cannot show up to a Christmas celebration with a lame, adult dessert. Not only does it need to taste delicious, it has to be fun! The classic Oreo truffle dressed-up as Rudolph is the perfect solution. Packed with gooey,…
Caramel Carrot Cake Trifle
Keeping in the #TruHolidaySpirit with TruWhip, I whipped up an absolutely delicious carrot cake trifle. Inspired by an AllRecipes I came across, this recipe is a fun play on a traditional carrot cake. Instead of having to save the best bite with all the cream cheese frosting, every bite in this trifle has a creamy…
Harvest Ice Cream Butter Pound Cake
My husband grew up making this easy, make-ahead dessert, and he asked that I bring it back into rotation. Shortly after his request, I was contacted by TruWhip to create a holiday recipe using their delicious product. So exciting! Already being a fan of TruWhip, I knew I had to recreate my husband’s childhood dessert…
Harvest Blueberry Butter Crisp
Fresh blueberries with the undertone of lemon, the crispy, buttery topping… there’s not much not to like in this dessert. I’m not sure my husband even looked up when I served this the other night. The crisp is refreshing, satisfying and not over-filling. While this dish is tasty all year long, using in-season blueberries makes…
