My holiday baking list definitely includes something for everyone’s taste!

I can remember going to my Oma & Opa’s house on Christmas Eve when I was a kid; there would always be a large tray of assorted holiday cookies and squares out. Same for Christmas Day!

I love the assortment of flavours and could always find something (or many) delicious bites to eat.

So, I’m sharing my Holiday Baking List for 2018 full of all of my favourite baking recipes that I love to enjoy and gift to my family and friends.

Nanaimo Bars – A classic in our family, this is my Mom’s recipe and most requested recipe each year

Lemon Squares – I have always loved this tart and sweet treat, perfect to breakup all the chocolate!

Shortbread Cookies with Lemon Icing – I remember decorating these cookies as a kid and just covering them with sprinkles! So I do the same these days 🙂

Chocolate Pretzel Bars – This is a recipe I created a few years ago that definitely gives the sweet and salty vibes I love

Snickerdoodles – My favourite recipe is Ambitious Kitchen’s Grain Free Snickerdoodles; they are the softest and chewiest recipe I’ve found. It’s hard not to eat a couple at once!

Freezer Fudge – I love an easy freezer fudge, especially Minimalist Baker’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge which I like to top with coconut & cinnamon too

Mixed Nuts – These are always perfect for sharing, I especially love these Coconut Cashews and these Cinnamon Toasted Almonds

Party Chocolate Bark – Part of my Sparkling New Year’s Eve Party Menu, this bark is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser

Buying fresh herbs in the Winter & not sure how to Buying fresh herbs in the Winter & not sure how to store them to make sure they keep longer?! I’ve put together my top 4 tips for storing fresh herbs:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-Soft herbs like parsley, basil, cilantro and dill have ‘soft’ stems so store them like you would fresh flowers. For parsley, cilantro and dill, cut about 1 inch off the stems, place in a jar with water, cover with a plastic produce or ziploc bag and store in the fridge. Keep in the fridge and replace the water every couple of days. These can last about 2 weeks so when ready to use, take the amount you need and wash!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-Basil is a bit of a tricky one as it’s very delicate. If purchased from the grocery store, it’s likely grown in a greenhouse and comes already packaged. I usually leave this at room temperature and use it within a couple of days. If I’m cutting basil from the garden, I’m generally going to use it right away. However, you could follow the same instructions as the soft herbs BUT leave it in the water at room temperature.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-Hard herbs like rosemary, thyme and sage store well when wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel, then wrapped in plastic and put in the fridge. They will last 1-2 weeks.⁠⠀
Mint is technically a hard herb because of its stem, however, I’ve found I can store either way mentioned above and it still does well.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
-And, the best way to clean any herbs that you’re using is to get a bowl of cool water and dunk the herbs a couple of times so that any dirt sinks to the bottom. Refresh the bowl with clean water before moving on to another herb.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Save this post so you don't forget these tips next time you buy fresh herbs!⁠⠀

It's the peanut sauce that really pulls everything together in this bowl and you mightttt want to use it in other recipes too, it's THAT good!⁠⠀
