I didn’t make Cranberry Pistachio Cheese Ball from The Creative Bite
but I did share my Holiday Cranberry Shortbread with pistachios
And a Coconut Rum Snowball
These recipes were part of a round up of 10 Gifts from your Kitchen
is a round up of recipes that are great last minute additions
to your holiday menus
Cheesy Asparagus & Prosciutto Pastries
was one of the last minute recipes that was popular
I highly recommend Santa’s Surprise Ice Cream Cake for dessert,
only 4 ingredients and 15 minute prep!

Happy Sunday Jenna! Wishing you a delicious 2024! ♥
I’m wishing you a good new year & a prosperous life, Jenna!
Thank you Angie, Happy New Year!
Wishing you and yours good health and much happiness in 2024, Jenna.
Thank you Bernadette, Happy New Year!
Jenna, all of these dishes look delicious! I am looking forward to seeing what you cook up in 2024. I wish you a health and happy New Year!
Thank you Shannon, Happy New Year!
Wow Jenna, they all look fabulous. So many things to try. Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy new year.
Thank you Linda, I wish you the same!
I look forward to all of your delicious dishes and recipes in 2024. I over indulged in Christmas goodies, and I will need to cut back in January. Brussels Sprouts Salad with Cranberries & Pecans sounds really great. Happy New Year, Jenna! Wishing you and your family a healthy and happy new year!
Thank you Pam, cheers to 2024!
I’m quite honored to have my brownie peppermint trifle recipe on your bucket list. It makes a bucket’s worth, so be sure to have plenty of people around to consume it all. From this list, I am planning on trying the sherried chicken recipe. It sounds heavenly! Happy New Year, Jenna!
I can’t wait to try your brownie peppermint trifle Pattie, it looks so good! I think you’ll enjoy the chicken, it’s really good. Happy New Year!
Happy 2024 indeed! So many new things ahead, and when you cook something new, you avoid that “same-old, same-old” feeling, which I dislke. (except for Cheerios. I could eat those every day).
Happy New Year Leslie Anne, here’s to a creative 2024! 🥂
Good things ahead in January. At our Christmas dinner, my husband who focuses on the entrees was glad when I volunteered to make your corn casserole to go with his ham. I knew he would like it because he likes Ritz crackers. I love corn so it was a win-win!
Oh I’m so glad, thanks Linda and Happy New Year!
One word for this — YUM! Happy New Year, Jenna!
Thank you Jeanie, Happy January!
Thanks, Jenna, for sharing a “bucket list” of very delicious looking recipes! Wishing you grand new year filled with endless possibilities!
Thank you Mary, Happy January!
Great list! Thanks for joining the party every week. I appreciate your support (and your yummy foods)! Happy New Adventures!
So many delicious recipes you’ve tried and still want to try. What a great idea for a bucket list.
Thanks Joanne, making a monthly list really helps avoid the “what can we have for dinner” dilemma and pushes me to try new recipes 🙂
