A few years ago, my good friend, Anne had a party at her house, and there was this absolutely delicious popcorn creation that she made. I had the hardest time staying away from it, and I was sure she had spent most of the day making it. When she gave me the recipe, I was shocked to find out just how easy it was to make. This White Chocolate M&M Christmas Popcorn is a variation of that recipe for the holiday season. This recipe requires only three ingredients and a few minutes, and everyone goes nuts for it! This is a great treat to make for parties, gift bags or just because.

Molasses cookies are delicious, but one of the worst parts of making them is waiting for the dough to chill. This is an important step for making cookies, because without it the cookies would spread way too much. The beauty of making these Molasses Cookie Bars with Glaze is that they are contained to a baking dish, so spreading is not a concern! These bars only take about 20 minutes from start to finish, and they are great for the holidays!
Peanut butter cookies have always been one of my favorites! I feel like they are a timeless classic that will never go out of style. I wanted to take my basic Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies and do something a little more fancy with them, so I made these Chocolate Chip Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies. To make these, you will make my cookies, and then dip them halfway in melted chocolate. I then like to decorate them with some edible gold balls, sprinkles or even crushed nuts. These are super easy but also beautiful cookies that are great to give as a gift.
This Slow Cooker Chicken and Stuffing has juicy and tender chicken, a creamy “gravy” and a delicious stuffing topping. Assembling this takes only a few minutes, and then just set it and forget it. Have this with some fresh vegetables, rice, mashed potatoes or even all on its own.
Somehow, I have convinced myself that calories don’t count around the holidays. I know, this isn’t the healthiest mindset, but one of my favorite parts of this season is baking and enjoying both the process and the finished product with my loved ones.

These Cake Mix White Chocolate Chip Christmas Cookies are quick, easy, delicious and beautiful. You could really customize them for any holiday by changing up the colors, or just leave them white and they will be just as delicious!
Pasta is the ultimate comfort food to me. I could eat it all day everyday. Obviously I shouldn’t do that, but I sure could. I love quick and easy pasta recipes because most people love them, and they can feed a crowd without a ton of work. This Oven Baked Mozzarella Topped Tortellini recipe has a homemade tomato sauce to make things a little healthier, and it requires only a mixing bowl, spatula, baking dish and just 5 minutes of prep time. This would be great with a fresh salad and some warm bread!
