2013– Things are a little different this year! We’re still in Germany, at least 3/4 of my family is. My husband is currently deployed to Afghanistan… this will be the third Christmas in the 7 we’ve had together that he’ll have missed. I am still baking though! I hope to add many new recipes to this list during this holiday season! Seasons Greetings!
2012– Another year in Germany and more delicious recipes to share! Check back often as I’ll be adding to this list this holiday season with lots of new delicious recipes! This picture is of my family at our first Christmas Market of the season at Schloss Guteneck in Nabburg, Germany! Happy Holidays!
2011– This year, I’m spending Christmas far away from my family, but yet I still seem to be in the holiday spirit! Last weekend my daughter and I attended a “Ugly Christmas Sweater Party” where I dressed up, well… more cure than ugly. (PS… isn’t this photo great! You can’t even tell I’m 7 months pregnant! hehe)
And then this week, I created some of the most festive cupcakes I’ve ever made for Christmas! With the holiday spirit in mind… here is a round up of some of my favorite holiday recipes from my blog! Enjoy!

I love round-ups! I don’t really know why because I’ve seen all of your recipes when you post them, but there is just something about putting them all in one place that makes me happy =) It must be the laziness in me.Also, your family picture is so cute!

Chocolate Crinkles are so perfect for a holiday roundup because they look like snow capped mountains matching the winter and holiday themes. I will definitely include this in my batches of cookies this season, that is, if I can make a gluten-free version work as well. Will be thinking about you and your family drinking gluwein and eating reibekuche in Germany’s lovely weihnactsmarkten.
