π Christmas in July? These Sweet Treats Couldn't Wait π¬
|
Hi friends! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend! We had my high school reunion this weekend, and it was so much fun catching up with people I haven't seen in years. It's funny how it can feel like no time has passed once everyone starts sharing stories and laughing about old memories. Since we're in the middle of July, I thought it would be fun to celebrate Christmas in July! Who says we have to wait until December for our favorite holiday treats? If you've been craving homemade candy or peppermint desserts, this is your sign to get started a little early. This week's recipes are full of nostalgic holiday favorites: π Peppermint Sugar Cookie Bars β Soft, festive bars topped with creamy frosting that taste just like Christmas. π₯ Old-Fashioned Peanut Brittle β A crunchy, buttery candy that's been a holiday favorite for generations. π« Classic Fudge β Rich, creamy, and the kind of recipe everyone asks for year after year. βοΈ Homemade Divinity β Light, fluffy, old-fashioned candy that's worth every bite. Whether you're making a batch to share, stocking the freezer for the holidays, or just bringing a little Christmas cheer to the middle of summer, I hope you find something you'll love. Have a wonderful week, and thank you, as always, for letting me be a small part of your kitchen. Warmly, β€οΈ Heidi (aka Lulu) |

I'm calling that a win and treating myself accordingly (with pie, obviously). Here's what's new and updated this week: π Apple Pan Dowdy (New) β an old-school apple dessert that's somewhere between a pie and a cobbler, with a "dowdy" crust you break up and press back into the filling. If you've never made one, this is your sign. Apple Pan Dowdy π Chicken Stir Fry β...
Hi friends! I hope your week is off to a great start! Ours has been a little chaotic in the best way. Our son just got home from a mission trip to Panama, so we spent the weekend celebrating and soaking up all his stories. It's the kind of tired-but-full feeling that makes you grateful for a slow cooker doing the work while life happens around it. Speaking of which... It's that time of year again. Backpacks are packed, alarms are set, and dinner somehow still needs to happen every single...
Hi friends! I hope you're having a great week! We spent Monday and Tuesday at an amusement and water park with some family friends, and it was such a fun (and exhausting!) way to kick off the week. Between the roller coasters and the water slides, I think we covered every possible way to get soaked and dizzy at the same time. In between all the splashing and screaming (the good kind), I managed to sneak in some time in the kitchen too. Here's what's new this week: 7UP Cake π₯€ 7UP Cake (New)...
