Christmas 2014 Round-Up

Christmas is the time of year to indulge your inner sweet tooth. You really need to stuff your face silly before the New Year rolls around and you give up the unhealthy eats. For obvious reasons it’s one of my favorite times of the year!

It seems like I spend more and more time scouring our cookbooks and the world wide web deciding on the perfect cookie recipes to bake each year. I actually stress out over it! My Mom, Kara and I also spend a ridiculous amount of time working and re-working our Christmas Eve menu. There’s just so many delicious foods out there and we want to choose the best and most special ones.

We decided to do a last minute round-up of some of our favorite holiday recipes in case you, like us, are still finalizing your menus.

Happy Holidays to all our wonderful LLP readers.
