These classic buttery shortbread sandwich cookies are filled with raspberry jam and finished with a dusting of icing sugar. I have always absolutely loved Linzer cookies!! The design is just too cute and they are so much easier than they look to make! When I was deciding what to put in my 2025 cookie boxes, I knew I needed to add these in. They are the perfect cute addition to this holiday season and oh so yummy. Ingredients 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature ¾ cup i

Thick. Fudgy. Melty. These double-chocolate cookies get a sweet, glossy vanilla glaze on top that makes them look bakery-level and taste even better the next day.

I love classic holiday cookies that are filled with color, but oh my goodness, there is nothing better than some chocolate so you know I had to add these

The cutest addition to any holiday table!! Serves… whoever wanders into the kitchen. This is the most joyful holiday centerpiece you can make. It looks impressive but is truly so easy. All you need is a cone-shaped base, some plastic wrap, toothpicks, and all your favorite charcuterie bites. Build it like you’re decorating a Christmas tree, and let it be as full, colorful, and cozy as you want it to be. Ingredients Use any combination of the following: Cubes of cheese (chedda

Ah yes, it is truly that time of the year again! Sick season! But hey, if this is the one time of the year I can convince you to make & eat a soup, perfect. I have this theory that people that don't like soup simply don't exist. If you are one of those people...maybe you just haven't found your soup yet. You see, I grew up in a Persian household and most of Persian food is soups & stews. It's in my blood to love soup. But hey, it's in yours too because I heard the most likely

A cozy, zero-stress dinner for the night before Thanksgiving. One pot dishes have always been my favorite!! Soups, bakes, and casseroles are just so simple to make but always nostalgic, warm, and cozy. I love and appreciate dishes that still feel loved and homemade, but take little to no effort. They are perfect for the busy seasons in life or days when you have a lot going on but still want something that makes you feel at home. I partnered with Rao's homemade to create the

The sweet and salty thanksgiving app of our dreams!!! Okay so if there is one thing about me, I love a good charcuterie board! I feel like this appetizer has all of my favorite things about a charcuterie. It's savory and sweet! It's crispy and indulgent! It is the perfect appetizer + this Toasty Brie & Prosciutto Crostini with Pepper Jelly and Hot Honey is SO easy to make. It'll be the perfect appetizer to make for Thanksgiving. Such a crowd pleaser and so so simple. Toasty B

Okay so drinks have not been my speciatly whilst hosting so far! I wouldn't say I don't make them well, it's more like they tend to be an afterthought. I put so much love and effort into the appetizers, the main meal, and the dessert, but tend to put thought into the drinks last. However, there is something about holiday drinks or making a drink more seasonal per say, that gets me really excited! This spiked hot chocolate is the perfect mix between cozy, warm, comforting, and

Three layers of holiday goodness My fiancé and I are hosting Thanksgiving for the first time this year and I've been testing out recipes all season long. From appetizers, to entres, and desserts, I am SO excited to begin building out our traditional holiday menu. I am excited that this is the beginning of our traditions as a family. Honestly, I have never really been too much of a pumpkin pie person! Apple Pie has always been my favorite at Thanksgiving. However, I wanted to

Our First Thanksgiving at Home This year will be my very first time hosting Thanksgiving in our very first home. There’s something about that sentence that still feels surreal. For years, I dreamed of what this moment would look like: the sound of music in the kitchen, the smell of homemade food made with love, people laughing in the next room, and a table that is set & ready for our favorite people to gather around. And while there are a lot of fancy dishes that could make t

There’s something so grounding about a bowl of pozole verde — the kind of meal that feels like it’s been simmering in family kitchens for generations. It’s bright from tomatillos and lime, rich with tender chicken and hominy, and layered with warmth in every spoonful. I love serving it alongside a stack of fresh corn tortillas , still warm from the pan — soft enough to tear, dip, and scoop up every last bit of broth. Together, they make the perfect cozy dinner for slow eveni

There’s something about the smell of cinnamon that makes a house feel like home. Warm, sweet, and just a little nostalgic — these cinnamon rolls are the kind of recipe that fills every corner with comfort. The dough rises slowly, butter melts into brown sugar, and before you know it, your kitchen smells like a slow Sunday morning. They’re soft and golden, swirled with cinnamon and nostalgia, topped with a creamy cream cheese frosting that melts right into every layer. There’s

This is not a traditional Caribbean recipe - I used a Caribbean spice blend for my main seasoning component though! I randomly whipped this up today for my fiance during his lunch break. We were craving fish! The recipe is not perfected but it turned out sooo delish! You can also substitute chicken in this recipe instead of the cod. I feel like that would taste incredible too and maybe next week I will try out that combo! Ingredients 4 cod fillets, skin off 3 teaspoons caribb
