Show and Tell + Must-Have Christmas Recipes
There are three must-have recipes that stick out to me each Christmas and I hope you find them on your table this holiday season!
Every year at Christmas, I serve this and it disappears quickly. 😉  It’s a crowd-pleaser and easy! 
I have mentioned this several times but it bares repeating. Peppermint bark is my love language. It’s a great gift, appetizer, dessert, or whatever your heart desires! My friend actually text me this week and told me she made more for a party because it was so easy. 🙂
My hot chocolate recipe is something that is near and dear to my heart. 🙂 We grew up drinking this hot chocolate and it easily brings back a flood of memories. Tip: Add peppermint mocha creamer for some peppermint hot chocolate flavor or peppermint essential oil.
Happy Tuesday! I hope your holiday week leading up to Christmas is extra special. xo
The very first Christmas Eric and I were together, we had only been official for a month. One month. What’s a girl to get a guy that she adored beyond her wildest dreams for Christmas? I searched high and low and time was ticking before the 25th. Considering he mentioned wanting a new watch and thinking he would look ridiculously good wearing one, I took the plunge and bought him one. His eyes lit as he slowly unwrapped it, realizing what was inside. It became his favorite and something he has worn consistently for the last four years.
Wow. We made it to Friday. This week was jam-packed and exhausting. BUT I’m getting together with my best friends tonight and Christmas is so close. Life is good. 
I couldn’t resist adding these to the list. This weekend is calling for snow and double chocolate peppermint cookies should be on your to-do list. 😉
When it comes down to it, Christmas isn’t about the twinkle lights, tinsel, or multitude of gifts. It really is about Him; Jesus. This Christmas season, I’m participating in the Pay It Forward campaign for the gift that keeps on giving. We are extremely blessed and taking a moment to recognize that in the midst of the holiday crazies is a valuable lesson for us all. Thanks to Stonyfield yogurt, I am donating $50 to my sponsor child’s family in Peru. This will help them purchase food or supplies for their home. Whether it’s to a local charity or a family on the other side of the globe, there is always a way to give back and pay it forward. May God bless your family and may you bless another one.
Christmas movies have been playing non-stop since before Thanksgiving even rolled around this year. I have no shame about it. Not one bit. 🙂 It puts me in the best mood and makes our home feel extra cozy. I love sipping some
