this For later use

And now that December is here, get ready for all the Christmas and Festive fun! I am sure you have some amazing posts lined up as we count down to Christmas, and we can’t wait to see the creativity and holiday magic you’ll be sharing with us here at HIH.

It’s Esmé, from EsmeSalon. Around here, I love sharing a mix of healthy recipes and the occasional not-so-healthy treat, because honestly, life just tastes better with a little balance. I hope you’ll enjoy exploring the flavors from around the world that we’ve cooked up for you, and maybe even try a few in your own kitchen!

Every week at Happiness is Homemade, we round up our favorite ideas and projects from the previous party, featuring everything from mouthwatering recipes to clever crafts and gorgeous home decor, and much more. It’s always such a joy to see the creativity this community brings to the table!

Posts that stood out for me from last week. Wish I could list all, but let’s stick to 5 only.

Melynda from Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household
Sweeten up your day, and your salads, with this bright and cozy persimmon vinaigrette: A little fruity, a little tangy, and totally easy to whip up. Makes even plain greens feel like a treat

Estelle from Homemade on a Weeknight
Craving a cozy dinner with big flavor? This creamy coconut-cilantro chicken drizzled in Thai peanut sauce is a perfect hug-in-a-bowl, quick, cozy, and totally crave-worthy.

Heidi from Building our Hive
Who says gingerbread houses need gingerbread? Build a holiday house straight from Pop-Tarts, all you need is frosting, candy, and a little imagination!
Kids and grown-ups alike can join in decorating this sweet, crunchy house, bonus: you can nibble as you go.

Crystal from Crystal & Co
Ready for a snack that’s salty, sweet, and disappear-instantly? These Christmas Pretzel Bites are melt-in-your-mouth little treats that’ll have everyone reaching for seconds!

Cindy from Seasonal and Holiday Recipe Exchange
Ready for a candy that’s crunchy, sweet, and totally magical to make? This easy honeycomb candy puffs up like sponge and tastes even better with a chocolate (or butterscotch) dip and colorful sprinkles.
