Food

Before we dive into 2019, I wanted to put together a list of some of my favorite things from 2018, in hopes you’ll find something new to love.

Christmas appetizers are often overlooked by their bigger cousin, Christmas dinner. But appetizers are an important part of any holiday gathering, or any gathering for that matter. You don’t need an excuse to go all out on eating and making appetizers, but something about the season just makes overindulging that much more fun.

When it comes to Christmas gifts for food bloggers or foodies, you’ve got all sorts of options! I’ve put together a few of my favorite things to help make the gift-buying process even easier for you this holiday season.

This savory goat cheese and honey bread pudding is one of my favorite meals and one of the dishes I’m most proud of! It can be made ahead of time so you can just pop it in the oven, and it’s perfect for brunch, lunch, or even dinner. It’s unique, and it’ll impress your friends without them knowing

These cheesy egg hash brown cups are perfect for make-ahead breakfasts and they’re super easy to customize!

This is my favorite pancake recipe I’ve perfected over the years to get just right. These are amazing on their own, but they’re also an excellent base if you want to add berries or chocolate chips, etc.

I don’t know about you, but tomato soup is one of my all-time favorite comfort foods, and adding cheddar to it just takes it to the next level of delicious and satisfying! This beats anything you could get in a can, time and time again.

This creamy and dreamy garlic pasta can be on your table within 20 minutes, and it only requires a handful of ingredients! It’s very similar to homemade Alfredo, but with less cheese and even more flavor. You really can’t go wrong when it comes to creamy pasta, can you?

I consider myself somewhat of an expert on mashed potatoes, at least when it comes to eating them, so I thought I’d put together the most useful tips I know for making them, as well as other tips I have found online that I use when I make them.
