    Holiday Recipe Ideas

    These holiday recipe ideas are such a fun way to celebrate! Food has a magical way of bringing people together. I love cooking for holidays, and you’ll find lots of Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and even Valentine’s Day recipes on Bless this Mess.

    My favorite Christmas Cookie recipes: Soft Gingerbread Cookies, Easy Mexican Wedding Cookies, and Grandma Lucy’s Christmas Sugar Cookies, which are super, super soft and great with icing.

    My favorite Fall recipes: THE Best Caramel Dip and Cranberry Orange Bread.

    My favorite Halloween recipes: 5 Easy No-Bake Halloween Treats, Easy Oreo Spider Halloween Snacks (these are a great snack/craft for kids), and don’t forget the Halloween Cheese Board!

    My favorite Thanksgiving recipes: Mom’s Jumbo Dinner Rolls, Five Ingredient Sides for Thanksgiving (all healthy and easy!), and my favorite apple pie recipe that finishes off the meal so well.

    And every holiday is made better with a sweet covered in this Easy & Extra Fluffy White Cloud Frosting!
