November 16, 2022 · In: Lifestyle, More Recipes

Enjoying the holiday season with simple holiday gathering must-haves.

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx .

‘Tis the season, y’all! We are officially in the front runnings of the holiday season. I normally start feeling the pressure that I am running behind and that I have so much to do before the New Year. I mean, the holiday season runs from Halloween until New Year’s Day for us. From holiday gatherings to gift giving, the holidays are jam packed with lots to do.

Simple Holiday Gathering Must-Haves List

I am all for finding things that will make my life easier when it comes to the chaos of the holidays. I am excited to share these simple holiday gathering must-haves. I hope you find them as helpful and awesome as I have!

A memorable dessert made easy with Jus-Rol

Every holiday gathering needs a dessert. I mean, doesn’t all gatherings in general need some sort of dessert? I will answer for all of us: YES! I decided to go with a classic, pecan pie, but make it mini! These mini pecan pie puff bites are made easy thank to Jus-Rol Puff Pastry dough.

Jus-Rol Puff Pastry

Jus-Rol Puff Pastry dough is a flaky and layered and ready to bake. There is no need to thaw! You just simply unroll the baking paper, add your ingredients, and bake exceptional pastries every time. I love that this dough is perfect for both sweet and savory recipes. In this recipe, we are going for the sweet!

A kitchen Hack perfect for your holiday gathering

You know what I will always be a sucker for? Kitchen hacks! I will buy all the kitchen hack tools and whatever else that will make my life easier in the kitchen. I like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so hacks are a must! Let me tell you, this kitchen hack brings the flavor too.

Dorot Gardens

Dorot Gardens is the ultimate kitchen hack with its pre-portioned fresh frozen herbs and garlic. This means no chopping, no peeling, and no mess. Garlic, Onions and Herbs year round with the simple “pop” of the tray. Let’s just say they are “fresher than fresh”! We love to use the Dorot Gardens Garlic. 1 cube is equal to 1 clove. Minced fresh garlic that is ready to go. Now that is what I call a simple holiday gathering must-haves kitchen hack!

Carefully dump the cinnamon and sugars mixture over the cut up biscuits and toss the biscuit quarters so that they are all coated. Next, evenly distribute the coated biscuits into the Bundt pan. Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl, then add vanilla extract to it and mix. Carefully pour the butter over the biscuits. Cook for 40 minute, until top is browned.  Remove from oven and flip over onto a plate.

1/4 cup brown sugar
1 stick of softened butter, unsalted butter cut into cubes

Mix butter and sugars until creamy. Then add egg and vanilla extract. Mix well before slowly adding dry ingredients.
On a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, scoop 2 scoops of chocolate chip cookie dough/cookie onto pan. Then gently press 1 Christmas sugar cookie into the center of each chocolate chip cookie dough round.
