Cook meals your family will love with my Menu Plan Monday. Planning out your dinners for the week will prevent the hassle of finding something last minute!

Happy December everybody! The Christmas tree is up in our house, decorated, and ready for Santa. It still may be a few weeks until the actual day, but in my house, Christmas runs all December long. I love to fill my home with holiday spirit from decorations, to holiday music, and of course the food. It’s time to fill our homes with the wonderful aroma of delicious food.

Every time I make soup in the winter, I also say a little prayer that it will snow. A rare occurrence in Southern Utah, but a girl can dream! What could be cozier then eating a bowl of warm homemade soup while watching the snowfall? My Slow Cooker Beef Barley Soup is hearty and wonderful for the holidays. This soup will permeate throughout your entire home with a mouth water scent. It will fill the air, and your stomach with irresistible flavor.

Tis the season for sweet treats and my White Chocolate Pumpkin Bread with Streusel Topping is a great way to kick it off! This is a recipe where just saying the title gets my mouth watering. Pair a slice of this incredible dessert bread with a warm cup of hot cocoa for the ultimate holiday treat. I am so glad I have a whole month to share incredible winter recipes with you. See you next week everybody!

From my kitchen to yours. -Holly xo
