Five Must-Bake Holiday Desserts
With the holidays just around the corner, I wanted to highlight my five favorite holiday desserts that I have posted. Without further ado, here they are:
Gingerbread Cupcakes with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting – Gingerbread and lemon make such a great combination. The spices of the season are highlighted in these cupcakes.
Peppermint Chocolate Chip Cookies – I love peppermint and chocolate together in the wintertime. These cookies are festive in color and flavor.
Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake – This was my first cheesecake cake. The vibrant colors are perfect this time of year.
Candy Cane Chocolate Oreo Cupcakes – I took my favorite chocolate cupcake recipe and combined it with my favorite Oreo cupcake recipe and used Candy Cane Joe Joe’s to make these cupcakes.
Peppermint Brownie Mosaic Cheesecake – Brownie bits are baked right in to this cheesecake. With peppermint extract, and crushed candy canes, it has a minty-chocolatey flavor that just screams winter.
One Year Ago: Massaged Kale with Pear and Pumpkin Seeds and Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranates and Vanilla-Pecan Butter
Two Years Ago: Chocolate Cupcakes with Peppermint Patty Frosting and Homemade Green Bean Casserole
Three Years Ago: Cookie Dough Brownies
Four Years Ago: Lumberjack Cookies and Peppermint Sandies

I like to stuff my squash with something savory, like spicy sausage stuffing but your dish makes me re-think the whole concept!
WOW this looks so good! Thank you for this recipe!
I’m so glad you liked this. It is absolutely one of our favorite side dishes this time of year. Your pics are beautiful!
what an awesome recipe!!! keeping it in mind…..
This looks so delicious! I have an acorn squash sitting on my counter at home…
This looks awesome! I roasted an acorn squash the other night and chopped it up and threw it in a salad. You’re making me wish I had stuffed it instead though!
I linked to this recipe from Examiner. 🙂
This is awesome! Thanks for the post, the pics are great. Have never tried this before, it is a must. Also we will certainly be telling all of our walnut loving friends about it. This is a perfect post for #WalnutWednesday!
These looks fantastic!! great post 🙂
WOW – these do look like the perfect side dish. Will definitely have to give them a trial run before turkey day.
hmm… is this something you think could be adapted for use with butternut squash? Obviously not really “stuffed”. I have a butternut that I’m looking for something to do with…
Yum!!! 😀
What a delicious and tasty looking recipe! It just screams Fall!
