So many yummy treats! That gratin looks particularly good to me. Have a great first Advent Sunday, Jenna.
Thank you Angie, the gratin is wonderful~ Happy almost December!
Choices! Choices! But what is it about me and broccoli? I like it raw, tossed in salads, but once its cooked – like in this soup, I’m a little kid holding her nose. Something about heating it up . . . weird, I know. Anyway, the other recipe ideas sound delightful and healthy to me, so HEY . . . I can’t be the perfect guest every time. Sorry. I’ll behave next time.
I hear ya! I’m not a fan of some versions of broccoli, but put it in a soup with a creamy cheesy sauce and it can be very yummy!
What a lovely assortment of holiday recipes! I don’t know where to start drooling.
Thanks Dorothy, I hope I have time to make most of these, they all sound so good to me!
Jenna, the December paint bucket sounds amazing. I hope you decide to make the Christmas tree Nutella pie. I love Nutella and sometimes buy the small size just for me so I can enjoy by the spoonfuls! Happy Sunday!
Thanks Pam, I hope I have time to make a lot of these recipes! You should try those Nutella snack cups that come with bread stick dippers~ my grands love them~
It’s so much fun this time of the year thinking about all the beautiful food we can make for the holidays and parties! I love your idea of keeping a Pinterest board that you can go back and look at from year to year. These recipes sound wonderful.
Thanks so much Judee. Yes, it is so much fun to think about holiday food! I refer to my recipe Pinterest board often for quick ideas when I’m making my grocery list and menu, plus it motivates me to try new things and recipes.
I look forward to December and all these delicious recipes! The Gratin looks amazing. Itās going to be fun to come see all these that you make.
Happy Sunday Jenna!
Thanks so much Nancy!
The cheese tree is really cute! And I’ve been craving spinach… So everything with spinach is sounding good to me these days. Happy Holiday Season Jenna:@)
Thanks Lynn, Ho Ho Ho!
So many yummy recipes to try, Jenna! I’m going to check many of them out. Thank you!
Thank you Kitty, December is such a fun month for cooking!
So many yummy recipes to choose from I hardly know what to pick. But I love the flatbread with leftovers – what a great idea because you could put almost anything on it. As long as it has cheese, of course. Thanks for sharing all these recipes Jenna and happy almost December!
Thank you Kim, I love to make flatbreads and pizzas, such a great way to reinvent leftovers!
So many yummy dishes and treats to try Jenna! Happy Wednesday ā„
I hope I have a chance to make a lot of them!
Wow – an excellent array of tasty holiday recipes, thank you!
