Christmas is a few days away which means ham is likely to be on your menu. Whether it’s a dinner for one or four, ham is a Christmas dish favorite. One of my favorite things about ham is the dishes you can make with the leftovers. From soups to sandwiches the options are endless. One of my favorite sandwiches is a classic Monte Cristo stacked with fresh slices of ham and turkey too! This sweet and savory sandwich is guaranteed to be a meal anyone in your home will love.

If you’ve been following me on Instagram for a while you’ve seen me share insta-stories of my Stovetop Mac & Three Cheese. Multiple people have asked me for the recipe and I kept forgetting to get measurements when making it. As most of you know I hardly ever measure my food while cooking unless I’m doing specific recipe testing for a blog post. Well, this post is proof I finally recipe tested and it worked out well.

This weekend was full of Christmas festivities and fun with some of our favorite people. We got to see the base chapel light up the huge Christmas tree on base. Where they served cookies, hot cider, hot cocoa, and other delicious treats afterwards. Of course makes required. Even for the smallest of interactions like Jordyn getting to run around with other kids for the first time in months. It felt nice to be in a place where everyone was masked up and doing their part during this awful pandemic. Here are a few pictures of us from that day.

I created my first DIY charcuterie snack board last week and it was a hit! I threw my favorite cheeses, proteins, and snacks together to create this beauty. I even tried some new cheeses like a delicious cranberry white cheddar we loved. Fun fact: I just learned how to say “charcuterie” correctly like a week ago. Shoutout to my sister-in-law for her pronunciation help LOL.

I’m talking Merry Berry Christmosas to be exact. These holiday drinks are the taste of Christmas in a champagne glass. They’re ridiculously easy to make and are a fun way to incorporate the Christmas spirit mood for those not feeling it just yet.

Tis’ the season to be merry and decorate everything. The house, Christmas tree, fire place mantel, dining room, etc.! But one of my favorite holiday DIY projects is making salt dough Christmas ornaments. They are super easy to make and all of the ingredients can be found right in your cabinets or pantry. The only things you need to buy, if you don’t already own them, is paint, pipe cleaners/string, and mod podge.

Who else loves a delicious homemade lasagna? Especially during these colder winter months. There’s nothing like a hearty home cooked 5 Cheese & Meat Lasagna to give you the feel and taste of comfort. I remember my Grandma making lasagna for dinner when I was growing up, and it was always a family favorite. Now that I have my own little family, I’m the one making the lasagna, which is now one of our little family favorite meals too.

I’m back with another Thanksgiving recipe that’s a carb-tastic favorite! These garlic butter mashed potatoes are not only deliciously creamy but they are extremely easy to make! One of the reasons I love this recipe is because it’s naturally a crowd pleaser. I mean, who doesn’t love potatoes? Baked, fried, mashed, it doesn’t matter because potatoes are delicious in any form.
