If you aren’t baking a new batch of cookies (almost) every day, is it even December? With a cookie recipe that tastes just like Christmas (or what you’d presume Christmas to taste like. Fall tastes like pumpkin spice, Winter tastes like peppermint), it would be a tragedy not to bake up a batch! Sure, we have our chocolate peppermint cookies, but why not some WHITE chocolate to bring on the snowy vibes! White chocolate peppermint, so sweet, minty fresh, and one of the definitions of the holiday season!Read More

Instagram post 2169912447125673010_462853852 Thanksgiving debate number 2! Side Dish or Dessert? 🤔 Where does the CLASSIC marshmallow-topped sweet potato casserole reside? 🤷‍♀️ * It's always been a "sweet" side dish in our family, definitely NOT a dessert!

I know some people top it with nuts and brown sugar, but that gets a thumbs down from me. It MUST be marshmallow-topped (or in this case...homemade marshmallow fluff topped!) 😂😎 * Click the link in my bio @rebeccagf666 for the full recipe on the blog! 👆👆 https://strengthandsunshine.com/vegan-sweet-potato-casserole-marshmallow/ * #sweetpotatocasserole #sweetpotatoes #marshmallowfluff #aquafaba #thanksgivingrecipes #thanksgivingdinner #holidaybaking #glutenfree #vegan #dairyfree #eggfree #soyfree #nutfree #top8free #allergyfree #celiac #foodallergies #thefeedfeed #thebakefeed #glutenfreelife #foodallergymom #kidapproved #veganbaking #vegandessert #glutenfreedessert #glutenfreefood #glutenfreeliving #celiacdisease #healthybaking #nosugaradded
Instagram post 2164819317391112965_462853852 It's STUFFING Season! 🙌 Or...do you call it Dressing? 🤔 DEBATE! What do you call this classic Thanksgiving side? 🤷‍♀️ Technically, this is "dressing" since it was baked on its own (not inside a bird). 😝 My family has ALWAYS called it stuffing and I grew up in the Northeast. In the South, they tend to call it "dressing". They also tend to make it with...CORNBREAD! 🤩 * I ALWAYS make my famous "traditional" stuffing recipe (on the blog), but a cornbread stuffing sounded delicious to try this year!
