Christmas is all about traditions. There are foods you eat every year. Light displays you drive through every year. Present-giving-routines you do every year. My family sticks by most of the classics when it comes to holiday baking. We've been making big batches of decorated sugar cookies every year since I was born. This recipe… Continue reading Classic Christmas Sugar Cookies

I'm a photojournalist for a local television station in OKC and love to cook (obviously). I'm four years removed from college (BA in Mass Communication) and I'm just trying to guide through my mid-twenties with a relative ease. We'll see how this goes!
Mini Breakfast Pizzas
You're hustling and bustling and trying to get all of your Christmas shopping done before next Friday. There's a ton of work left to do: decorations, wrapping, planning the big feast. Ain't nobody got time to worry about what's for breakfast, right? My family always keeps it simple on Christmas morning. We usually prep a… Continue reading Mini Breakfast Pizzas
Cranberry Oat Bread
It's a winter wonderland here in Oklahoma right now! Snow about 4-6 inches thick blankets the ground. The temperature is hovering in the 20's with overcast skies. This is my favorite type of weather---and favorite time of year. I'm sure we'll thaw out here pretty soon. Snow doesn't ever stick around for long in this… Continue reading Cranberry Oat Bread
Christmas Margaritas
This is the first drink blog post I've EVER posted on here! I've been keeping up with this blog for 7 years now and I can't believe I'm just now getting into the drink recipe game. I'm not usually one of those people who make mixed drinks often, but the holidays always inspire me to… Continue reading Christmas Margaritas
Cherry Eggnog Bread
Baking is not my first passion. It's also not my second, third, or fourth passion. It's not even on my "passion" list at all. I'm not the greatest baker in the world. Even with all the gizmos and gadgets to help in the kitchen, more often than not my baking experiments fail. Cakes come out… Continue reading Cherry Eggnog Bread
White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge
There's something about melting chocolate that's just so, so difficult. If chocolate can melt so easily in your hand, why is it so hard to melt it in a bowl? I think I've finally mastered the art of melting chocolate, though. I made it work once and I've used the same utensils, the same brand… Continue reading White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge
Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crackers
It's the holiday baking, candy-making and treat-giving season! I've been busy this weekend whipping up a bunch of Christmas treats (and Chex Mix) for family and friends. I can't take the treats to work like usually do every year since I'm work from home, but I'm still able to give some out to people. As… Continue reading Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crackers
Chicken Paprikash Casserole
I'm sure most of your Thanksgiving leftovers are gone by now, but if you managed to freeze some turkey this recipe is for you. The weekend before Thanksgiving I meal prepped just one casserole to eat for lunch at work. I didn't want to take up to much space in my fridge and I knew… Continue reading Chicken Paprikash Casserole
Easy Cheddar Bay Biscuits
I have discovered what could be the best garlic cheddar biscuit out there. Not only that, it's also the easiest garlic cheddar biscuit to make. It only takes a handful of ingredients and need ZERO baking skills to accomplish. Behold, the greatest copycat Red Lobster biscuit around. Got a hankering you can't quell? Make these… Continue reading Easy Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Crustless Cranberry Pie
I hope everyone had a magical Thanksgiving! Up next, the main event: Christmas. It truly is the most wonderful time of year. I FINALLY got a working oven after waiting upwards of 3 months, so now I'm in full holiday baking mode. I've made a batch of M&M cookies already, but other than that, I've… Continue reading Crustless Cranberry Pie
