Hey, guys! I have a great printable for you just in time for Thanksgiving. It's one of my game placemats for kids and it's been revamped for some Thanksgiving fun! These are a great resource for any Thanksgiving Dinner host who needs a little something to help keep the kids entertained. Print one out for each child at the table and as a bonus, it also helps to make cleanup a little easier, too. 😉

Hi, guys! As the holidays approach and I think about new dishes to serve at my own family gatherings, recipes like this emerge. It's not the usual savory dip recipe but goes well with savory dippers. This cream cheese dip is sweetened with honey and stuffed with chopped dried dates, apricots, figs, and cranberries, then drizzled in a little extra honey and garnished with more dried fruit and rosemary.

It's a hearty, creamy dip, and contains some good-for-you ingredients that will make you feel better about serving such a sweet treat! It's also great to make for those who are gluten-free, wheat-free, or who don't eat refined sugar. Keep reading for the recipe!

I've got an easy recipe today that's sure to wow your cheese-loving holiday guests! It's a 3-tier Cheese Ball Tower and making it is super-simple because I'm using pre-made cheese balls paired with my own toppings. For my tiers, I've paired the sharp cheddar with nutty pecans, port wine with sweet and tart dried cherries, and the smoky bacon with crunchy almonds. I also made some cute cheese ball pinecones to decorate the tray with and I'll show you how to make it all in the post below!

The winter holiday season is one of my favorite times of the year. Family and friends gathering and sharing good food and holiday cheer are some of my happiest memories, so I love to give others happy holiday memories as well. I've created this delicious Cranberry Ginger Fizz Cocktail that you can serve at your holiday festivities and it will help to support a good cause at the same time. :)

With cooler weather here and Fall on the horizon, I couldn't wait to make something warm and comforting with some of my favorite Fall flavors. This marinated garlic & herb pork loin is butterflied and rolled with herbed stuffing and glazed with a sweet and tart cranberry sauce. Sound complicated? It took me less than 30 minutes to prepare and it cooked in the slow cooker while I did other things. :) Back to school is back to busy time for me, so you know this recipe is going to be easy to make and taste amazing!

It's time to take down those holiday decorations, but you don't have to leave your door bare. Today I have a fun decor craft for your front door or even inside your home: a DIY Arrow Wreath. It's a great decor piece for Fall or Winter and it couldn't be easier to make as you only need a ready-made grapevine wreath (or any kind you like best), some felt sheets, and a few sticks from the yard! It makes a great decoration and you can reuse it year after year.

Today I have an amazingly delicious make-ahead breakfast casserole recipe for a special holiday morning. This Praline Pecan French Toast & Sausage Breakfast Casserole has breakfast sausage on the bottom, french toast in the middle, and a toasted praline pecan topping that is the perfect sweetness to go with the savory. It gets prepped the night before and baked in the morning. The name may sound complicated, but it's so easy, it takes about 15 minutes to prepare.
