🎄🍪 HOLIDAY COOKIE WORKSHOP! 🍪🎄

Let’s make your holidays sweet, simple, and stress-free!
You’ll head home with 10 dozen cookie dough balls tucked in your freezer — ready to bake anytime you need a quick treat, last-minute dessert, or cozy baking moment with the fam. ❤️

No holiday cookie emergencies this year… just fresh-baked goodness on demand! 🙌

We’ll be making 5 scrumptious flavors:
🍪 Brown Sugar Toffee Chocolate Chip
🍪 Cranberry Orange
🍪 Bite-Sized Monster Cookies
🍪 Peppermint Meltaways
🍪 Fruity White Chocolate Cookies

🎅 Choose your date:
👉 Sunday, Nov. 16 @ 3pm or Tuesday, Nov. 18 @ 6pm (space is limited!)
RSVP soon so I can get your kits ordered!

💚 Cost: $57 for the Cakes to Cookies Kit — the workshop itself is FREE!
You’ll just bring eggs, butter, and a couple small items. I’ll have the rest ready and waiting for you!

Can’t make these dates? Host your own cookie workshop with your friends or family — I’ll help you set it up! It’s a jolly fun activity for kids too. 🎁

It’s apple season, friends — and they’re everywhere! 🍏🍎

If you’ve got a few extra from your last orchard visit (or the big bag from the store 🙃), this is the perfect way to use them…

🥮 Nana’s Apple Cake is pure comfort — all that made-from-scratch flavor without all the work! Just add apples and eggs for warm, glorious, cinnamon-spiced goodness.

I’m sharing a pic of our Yummy Mummy Apple Cake from the website — or try it paired with our Craveable Caramel Mix for a cozy fall dessert that disappears fast! 🍂

Who else loves baking with apples this time of year? 🍎✨

PEPPERMINT BACON PIZZA?

Something you would try for the Holidays? Yay or Nay?

Peppermint Bacon Burger Pizza

Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pizza crust
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup chopped peppermint candies
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, seasoning with salt and pepper. Once cooked, set aside. Place the pre-made pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. Add the cooked ground beef and crumbled bacon on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the chopped peppermint candies over the meat. Top with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the pizza. Slice and serve hot. Enjoy this unique and flavorful Peppermint Bacon Burger Pizza!
