I took a simple cinnamon swirl bread recipe, loaded it up with orange zest, and substituted chocolate chunks for the cinnamon mixture. Served toasted with a dab of marmalade on it, this bread is magic on my taste buds!

For a fun, unique twist on gingerbread cut out cookies, try these Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies!

Chocolate Pecan Tarts are a unique way to serve your pecan pie this Thanksgiving.

This year I tweaked my recipe just a tad and instead of Italian Sausage I am using Bacon and I’ve swapped out onion for leek to create this Leek and Bacon Stuffing.

I love a good mug of hot chocolate to warm up on a chilly day or when I need something a little sweet. Instead of using vanilla extract, I infused the milk with vanilla bean for the hot chocolate recipe. I also combined vanilla fleur de sel with melted caramel to drizzle in the hot chocolate.

I think a big crisp, green salad balances the boldness of the Chicken Marsala. I also like to serve it with a side of mashed potatoes. It feels so rich and comforting, yet sophisticated at the same time. And it’s perfect for a winter evening.

This Fresh Herb and Citrus Turkey Brine combines lots of fresh herbs with a subtle hint of citrus. Brining your turkey will tenderize the meat and infuse it with a TON of flavor for Turkey Day! This brine amount works for one 16 - 20 lb turkey.

Easy Homemade Fudgy Brownies are the perfect quick dessert to whip up at home. They only take a few minutes and totally satisfy your chocolate cravings. Just like the recipe promises, they're easy! Plus, I bet you have all the ingredients on hand.

We love these Individual Chicken and Vegetable Pot Pies on a cold, snowy day like today. They’re also great for using up leftover Holiday turkey.

These Cucumber Feta Rolls are the perfect holiday appetizer!

Stuffing makes a great appetizer when you are able to eat it with a toothpick! Give these amazing apps a try, you'll love the bite of the feta cheese.

Making Vanilla Sugar Scrub takes less than 10 minutes and is a gentle exfoliant perfect for dry hands and feet. Keep it for yourself, or gift it!

Because I like taking favorite recipes and tweaking them with new flavors, I thought I’d do the same thing this year. I used a recipe I’ve made before for Swedish Crescent Cookies and added orange zest and pistachios to switch things up a bit.

Whipped Cranberry Butter is a great way to use leftover cranberry sauce after Thanksgiving!

These Bite-Sized Mini Cranberry Walnut Tarts are the perfect little sweet treats to pop in your mouth and will help you use any leftover cranberry sauce that you may have.

Homemade Minestrone Soup has always been a soup favorite of mine. It is loaded with vegetables, yet feels hearty with the added pasta. In the summer I tend to lead towards adding vegetables like squash and red bell peppers, but this version of minestrone soup features vegetables seen more during winter since we’re quickly headed that way.

One of our new favorite treats for breakfast or an afternoon snack are these Orange Spice Pumpkin Muffins with Pecan Streusel. I love baking with fall spices. They’re so warm and cozy, especially on a cold and windy day like today, and make the house smell so nice.

Mashed potatoes are mixed with creamy mascarpone cheese and plenty of fresh chives for a rich and fresh taste.

This recipe is great for using in recipes to soups, stews, and casseroles that call for shredded chicken.

I love this dish because it uses up whatever you have in the fridge. Turkey after Thanksgiving, rotisserie chicken, vegetables you've forgotten...

This silky smooth dark chocolate orange pudding is enhanced with three types of Chocolate: semi-sweet, unsweetened, and cocoa powder, proving that Chocolate Pudding isn't just for little kids.
