holiday baking!

Merry Christmas Eve!

What is up with this crazy December weather? Instead of snow we have flooding! But regardless we are gearing up for Santa to arrive (maybe in a row boat instead of a sleigh) tonight and preparing to celebrate Kynli's 1st Christmas!


Justin and I have a long standing tradition that dates back to our dating days of spending an evening or afternoon baking Christmas goodies together. This year little Kynli was a big helper from her bouncy seat! We made a few old favorites and tried some new recipes as well. I've compiled a list of this year treats for you to enjoy!

Of course, there was a little grocery store prep beforehand!


1) Oreo Truffles

One of our absolute favorites! I recommend getting quite a bit of chocolate to melt and using a double broiler! (We've never had a good experience with the microwave!)



2) Homemade Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing

This desert is also perfect for a Fall treat!


3) Homemade Pumpkin Scones

Sensing a pattern here? We love pumpkin! These scones were super easy!


4) Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies

These might be a new favorite! They would be even better if you added cream cheese icing on top!

 Recipe (Also on the Duncan Hines cake mix box)


5) Gingerbread Cookies

A tried and true holiday favorite and straight from a boxed mix! Nothing homemade here! We're boring and skip the decorating, but maybe one day Kynli might like to do that part!


6) Pumpkin Dump Cake

I've shared this recipe before, but it is seriously good, and again, has pumpkin! It's even better in a dutch oven!


Have a wonderful Christmas!
