Holiday Favorites

For me, the holidays is the time of the year that is the most conducive to creativity in the kitchen.

It is the time I can slow down, relax, and make all the recipes I have been bookmarking throughout the year, but have not found the time to tackle.

In this list you will find anything from small bites, edible gifts, delectable desserts, wholesome mains, to finger-licking good appetizers.

Happy holidays!
