Homemade hot chocolate, peppermint ice cream, giant mugs and marshmallows you guys. It’s the best thing you can drink this holiday season! We had the laziest afternoon yesterday, watching movies and drinking these Peppermint Hot Cocoa Floats (and felt completely justified doing so.) Tis the season right?

Holiday Baking List
Let the holiday baking begin! Here are some of our favorite Christmas cookies and treats to make for neighbors, friends, and family. We love to turn on the Christmas tunes and rock out while we bake away. What are you guys making this month?
Peppermint Oreo Cheesecake Dip
This post is sponsored by Kraft Foods & Philadelphia Cream Cheese. All opinions are my own. The holidays just wouldn’t be the same without a little Philadelphia cream cheese to sweeten them up. Cream cheese in pies, cakes, frosting, cookies and dip. I always use Philadelphia Cream Cheese to make the most delicious, creamy, rich and decadent desserts,…
Chocolate Chip Gingerbread Muffins with Cream Cheese Glaze
This week is turning out to be another cold, rainy one. Rain is the new snow for us, so I think it’s time I buy an umbrella. The last couple of times I’ve taken Owen to preschool have been impeccably timed with a down poor of rain. Which means, I hauled the baby, Miles, and…

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bark made with just three ingredients!! A perfect sweet and salty treat to gift to neighbors and snack on through the holidays!

Nanaimo Bars Recipe
Up until last week I had never had a Nanaimo Bar! I’d heard all about them, seen them all over, but never tried one! A friend and neighbor of mine, Danielle, called me up last week and asked if I wanted to make a Canadian treat with her. When she said Nanaimo Bars I about…
