These classic buttery shortbread sandwich cookies are filled with raspberry jam and finished with a dusting of icing sugar.

It's my first year ever making a Christmas cookie box and I have been testing soooo many recipes!! I am so excited about these superrrrr chocolate-y chip cookies!!

This is the most joyful holiday centerpiece you can make.

Ah yes, it is truly that time of the year again! Sick season! But hey, if this is the one time of the year I can convince you to make & eat a soup, perfect.

A cozy, zero-stress dinner for the night before Thanksgiving.

I have been testing mac and cheese recipes all season long! As you've probably seen, we have a few tasty mac recipes up on the blog from the ones I loved.

This is the perfect make-ahead punch for all of your holiday gatherings!! I am so excited to make this for our first time hosting during the holidays. A simple drink like this makes it easier to focus on all the other tasks hosting has in store! Plus, this drink still feels elevated and stunning!!!

A warm, cozy soup with soft dumpling-style meatballs. My grandma used to come over every Sunday to make us a persian stew, some salad, and some tahdig for the week! Gondi has always been my absolute favorite persian soup. It's light and cozy! Perfect for rainy days or Friday night dinners

Okay so drinks have not been my speciatly whilst hosting so far! I wouldn't say I don't make them well, it's more like they tend to be an afterthought.

My fiancé and I are hosting Thanksgiving for the first time this year and I've been testing out recipes all season long.

When I was growing up, the ONE thing I dreamt about was creating a home for myself filled with laughter, love, traditions, and good food.

How come no one told me how much fun & frankly, simple it is to make a cheesecake? Wow! I guess its time to try them all...hmmm I'm thinking a pear or pistachio cheesecake next.

A fun way to serve everyone their own personal mac & cheese this holiday season!

This is my first year hosting the holidays, which feels both exciting and a little surreal. Growing up, I never really had a special place to be or a big family to reconnect with during the holidays.

Okay so if there is one thing about me, I love a good charcuterie board! I feel like this appetizer has all of my favorite things about a charcuterie.

A simple, colorful side that belongs on a holiday table — but is easy enough for any weeknight. The carrots get caramelized and sweet in the oven, layered over a creamy ricotta base, and topped with torn burrata, fresh herbs, and pops of pomegranate.

This year will be my very first time hosting Thanksgiving in our very first home. There’s something about that sentence that still feels surreal.

There’s something so grounding about a bowl of pozole verde — the kind of meal that feels like it’s been simmering in family kitchens for generations.

There’s something about a good charcuterie board that just brings people together. It’s the perfect appetizer — colorful, easy to share, and endlessly customizable depending on your mood or what’s in your fridge.

There’s something about the smell of cinnamon that makes a house feel like home.
