Chocolate Apple-Cinnamon Sundaes

This combination of apple, cinnamon-sugar and chocolate with vanilla ice cream is a delightfully light and refreshing end-of-the-night treat! I like the tartness of Granny Smith apples paired with the sweetness of the cinnamon-sugar and chocolate syrup but you can use any apple variety.

Freezer Jam

In my mind, homemade berry jam is in another league than store-bought variations. And I love how fresh the freezer versions taste compared to the cooked and canned jellies. Each bite transports me to the berry patch as I taste the freshly-picked berries and remember all of the fun berry-picking excursions with my grandma and mom when I was little.

Pannekaken (Norwegian Pancakes)

Similar to crêpes and Swedish pancakes, these Norwegian pancakes are a favorite in my family. They are a fun meal because you can serve them with a smorgasbord of toppings and fillings.

Ziploc Omelet

Let each person add the ingredients of choice to a Ziploc bag. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for 8-13 minutes. Open the bags and the omelets will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed. Everyone gets involved in the meal process and breakfast becomes a great conversation piece!

Crêpes

When I lived in France I usually got these with a simple topping of powdered sugar and fresh berry jam. But when I was in the mood for a decadent treat, I ordered them with Nutella.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

These asian-inspired meatballs served with sweet & sour sauce are a tasty treat, especially when served over rice. They are a perfect appetizer for a party because they can finish cooking in a slow-cooker while you focus on other elements of the party.

Cinnamon Rolls

In my family, we always have these cinnamon rolls at least twice a year – on Christmas morning and on Santa Lucia Day. I love to warm the iced cinnamon rolls in the oven right before serving them so that the icing melts into the rolls, making a gooey cinnamon treat!

Dinner Rolls

These dinner rolls are another family tradition for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. The leftover sandwiches on these rolls are one of my favorite parts about the holiday season.

Pumpkin Pie

You can’t have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner without pumpkin pie. This standard version is easy to throw together. I use an easy press-in-the-pan pie crust that saves a lot of time compared to the rolled out versions. For a unique way to serve your pumpkin pie, prepare mini pumpkin pies in muffin tins.

Orange Rolls

These light buttery rolls remind me of brioche. The orange flavor is the perfect combination of sweet and tart. In my family, we have these on Christmas morning and for our Santa Lucia breakfast…but I wish I could eat them every morning!
