Five Must-Bake Holiday Desserts
With the holidays just around the corner, I wanted to highlight my five favorite holiday desserts that I have posted. Without further ado, here they are:
Gingerbread Cupcakes with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting – Gingerbread and lemon make such a great combination. The spices of the season are highlighted in these cupcakes.
Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies – I love peppermint and chocolate together in the wintertime. These cookies are festive in color and flavor.
Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake – This was my first cheesecake cake. The vibrant colors are perfect this time of year.
Candy Cane Chocolate Oreo Cupcakes – I took my favorite chocolate cupcake recipe and combined it with my favorite Oreo cupcake recipe and used Candy Cane Joe Joe’s to make these cupcakes.
Peppermint Brownie Mosaic Cheesecake – Brownie bits are baked right in to this cheesecake. With peppermint extract, and crushed candy canes, it has a minty-chocolatey flavor that just screams winter.
One Year Ago: Massaged Kale with Pear and Pumpkin Seeds and Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranates and Vanilla-Pecan Butter
Two Years Ago: Chocolate Cupcakes with Peppermint Patty Frosting and Homemade Green Bean Casserole
Three Years Ago: Cookie Dough Brownies
Four Years Ago: Lumberjack Cookies and Peppermint Sandies
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
It looks like a wonderful family filled Holiday, I do get a kick out of the fact that you moved from MA and then bought a “Cape Cod” house. 🙂
Looks like you had a great Thanksgiving!
Now that looks like a proper Thanksgiving to me!
Looks like you had a very SPECIAL first Thanksgiving in your beautiful new house!
Cheers,

Thanks! Thanksgiving is definitely my favorite holiday of the year. I’m tempted to offer to host every year, but I think Hubby would strangle me.
