One of my favorite gift ideas to give during the holiday season is homemade goodies. There are so many options of sweet treats to make, but buckeyes are a classic homemade sweet treat that my mom has made during the holidays for as long as I can remember. I added my own twist on this recipe by adding a little flaky salt on top to balance out the richness of the buckeyes to make them even more irresistible. This recipe for salted buckeyes is one that you are going to want to make every single year.

It’s that time of year when I am all about fueling my body with all of the immune boosting foods and beverages to stay healthy. A citrus immune boosting juice is the perfect drink to incorporate into your weekly routine so ensure you are getting vitamin c and other nutrients that will help keep you healthy throughout the winter season. I partnered with my friends at Karuna to create for you this delicious citrus immune boosting juice that is made with their Karviva Ace Sport Sunny Orange drink and is so delicious. You will love adding this drink into your weekly diet to not only try and keep healthy, but also because it tastes amazing too!

Festive cocktails are a must at this time of year and cranberries couldn’t be more perfect for using in all sort of drink recipes. I happen to love making margaritas with cranberries because their tart flavor goes perfectly with lime juice, tequila, and a few sugared cranberries. The color is a vibrant reddish pink and its perfect for holiday entertaining. This recipe for my delicious cranberry margaritas is one that you will be making all holiday season long.

Cornish hens or “game hens” are a small poultry bird that are great for entertaining and can be cooked up easily while looking a bit fancy at the same time. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create a delicious holiday meal that will impress your guests with no stress in the kitchen on you part. I like to serve them up on a festive rice stuffing that is full of flavor and the perfect pairing with the cornish hens. This recipe for roasted Cornish Hens with Festive Rice Stuffing is sure to become a new holiday favorite.
