DIY stovetop scents are a great, natural way to make your house smell wonderful, or in my terms, “like Christmas.” I love to make up a pot of this and let it simmer all day on the stove. Fill a pot halfway with water. Add in a cinnamon stick and a tablespoon of whole cloves. […]
Christmas Cookies
I tend to go a bit overboard when it comes to Christmas baking. I make up a big list of all the goodies I want to make and will then spend hours in the kitchen with my apron on making them. Some of my favorite treats to make are sugar cookies, coffee balls, gingersnaps, peanut […]
Homemade Frosting
Homemade frosting is delicious and really easy to make. This recipe comes from my sister and I use it every time I make sugar cookies. It consists of 4 ingredients: butter (using real butter is essential for making a great tasting frosting), powdered sugar, hot water and almond extract. Use vanilla extract if you prefer, […]
DIY Mason Jar Christmas Gifts
If you haven’t guessed by now, I have a lot of favorite Christmas traditions – watching movies, baking, decorating my place with lights, listening to festive music, and of course, Christmas shopping. Although most of my shopping is done online now, I still enjoy going to the stores to get some gifts. Every year growing […]
Christmas Eve Appetizers
My family has a Christmas Eve tradition that has been around since I was little. Instead of having a traditional dinner, we make a meal of appetizers. My mom, sister and I usually look through recipes the week before and plan out a menu, then spend Christmas Eve day preparing the recipes. Spending the day […]
Ranch Cheese Ball
I live with the world’s biggest cheese fan, so I always have cheese in the fridge and I know making a cheese ball is never a bad idea. Now I realize everyone may not like cheese as much as my husband, but I think cheese balls are a great, versatile appetizer that everyone should know […]
Mexican Pinwheels
I think it’s safe to say, Mexican pinwheels are a Tondryk family tradition. My mom has made them since I was young and she continues to make them for gatherings. They are also a staple at our annual Christmas Eve appetizer meal. I’ve incorporated them into my appetizer repertoire and have shared them with my […]
Pomegranate Cranberry Sangria
Looking for a great drink to serve at a Holiday get-together? This sangria not only looks very festive, it tastes great and is incredibly easy to throw together before an event. It’s not as sweet as other sangrias I’ve tried, yet it provides a great fruit flavor that balances the wine and rum perfectly. You’ll […]
Homemade Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer
I’m not going to lie, one of my favorite things about the Holiday season is the return of Holiday drinks at Starbucks and Caribou. There’s just something about the festive cups and that first sip of “Christmas in a cup” that gets me in the Holiday spirit. My favorite drink is the Ho Ho Mint […]

To celebrate the Holiday season and hopefully spread a little Christmas cheer, I decided to craft a series of blog posts to share some of my favorite things about this time of year. I wanted to start with one of my favorite traditions, even though it’s not food related. I have many fond memories of […]
