Holidays

One year, my mom and dad surprised us with a visit from a real live Santa Claus! He came with a bag of toys and told us stories about elves and flying reindeer! And every holiday, whether it was just us, or us and oodles of kids, my mom always provided cake, games, and lots of fun. Now, with things like Pinterest, I always find loads of ideas for my own kids, and I love to be inspired to throw fun parties my kids will remember. My hope with sharing is that you'll find tips and tricks to be inspired too.

There are so many recipes on this site, I've organized them into categories to make it easier to find inspiration. Just scroll down for "Holidays" OR click a black and white button below to go to another collection of my easy recipes.
 
Birthdays, Events and Sports Birthday cakes, ice cream, football party, basketball party, and soccer party treats and foods, plus sweet treats for any occasion.
Breads, Cookies and Desserts From "How to Tie Garlic Knots" to "How to Bake a High Altitude Chocolate Cake" and even my "100 Calorie Chocolate Cupcakes", you'll find all sorts of tasty cookies and pastries here.
Breakfast Bacon, egg, and hash brown casseroles, smoothies, coffee, muffins, cinnamon rolls, omelettes, and so much more. Find inspiring breakfast ideas here.
Holidays Back to School, Christmas, Easter, 4th of July, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day and more. Find everything including party printables and decor.
Main Course Recipes Beef, Chicken, Pork, Turkey, Casseroles, Mexican, Latin-American, Crock Pot, Gluten-Free and lots of great eats. From Chicken Fried Steak Fingers to sauces - get them all here.
Sides Salads, veggie stacks, vegetarian crescent rings, grilled veggies, stuffing, and lots of side dishes, you'll love the variety and flavors.
