The Christmas season is my absolute favorite time of the year, and the older I get, the more I appreciate it and welcome it for the special moments and memories it brings. I enjoy the decorating, the carols, the heartwarming movies, the time spent with family, but even more so, the special recipes that only come out during the holidays.

So I gathered up all the ingredients I’d need and invited my mom over for a baking day. Together, we set to work baking and creating a dessert bar that’s fully stocked with our favorite Christmas treats. It’s the perfect setup for hosting a Christmas cookie party. All that’s left is to invite family and friends over to share and indulge in holiday yumminess!

Happy Thanksgiving!

My grandma's pumpkin pie recipe is like nothing you've ever had — It's light and moist, with an airy meringue-like texture.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I probably don’t say it enough, but I am so, so grateful for you guys. Without you, I’d just be talking to myself, well, myself and my mom (Hi Mom!). Whether you’ve been reading for years or if this is your first time popping in to Two Purple Couches—thank you! It means so much to have you join me here!

I have a lot to be thankful for, and yes, the usual family, friends and good health are all on that list. But I am also super thankful for this blog, you—my faithful readers!, and the opportunity to do what I love. So, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday filled with food, family, familiar comforts and warm hearts!
