I like you idea Jena of combining holiday recipes. It makes it easy, one place to go to. I must say all the recipes are wonderful too. Love the holiday table. I have to get busy, it will all be here before we know it…………….
Thanks so much Emily! I had a lot of fun putting the list together, it really got me in the mood!
What I love about your paint bucket posts is that I can save the post, and the links are al there. I am going to do that butternut/pear soup next. I would up making potato leek soup last week, and a few days ago I made vegetable beef, the old cold weather standby.
Everything sounds and looks delicious Jenna! It’s COLD here and I’m looking for chili & soup recipes 🙂
Lots of great ideas on your holiday bucket list Jenna! Hope you like the chili and I can’t wait to see your sweet potato nachos:@)
Now you are making my mouth water. I absolutely HATE turning the clocks back, and am not looking forward to the darkness coming so early, but I do like good, comforting, winter cooking.
I’ve been in a mood for cooking. Your list sounds so good and all the images tempting!
You are so organized with your recipe planning! I look forward to seeing each recipe as we move into the holiday season. Great idea you have in combining November and December!
thanks Kim, I have made several things already, with some mouth watering results!
This is a terrific idea and you have been one busy lady!
Ha! Always busy, thanks Sandra! This is what keeps me on track~
