Happiness is Homemade 615

Sharing is caring!

It’s Esmé, from EsmeSalon. I love sharing a mix of healthy dishes and the occasional treat, because a little balance makes life taste better. I hope you enjoy exploring all the different flavors and recipes we’ve been cooking up; maybe you’ll even try a few at home.

As we head deeper into December, the Christmas fun is officially beginning! How are you all doing?

Are your Christmas decorations up yet? Gifts bought and wrapped and ready under the tree?

I actually surprised myself this year; everything is done! Now I get to relax a bit and enjoy the rest of the month without that last-minute holiday scramble. How about you?

Are you feeling ahead of the game or still easing into the season?

I know many of you have great posts ready to share as we count down to the holidays, and I’m really excited to see what you’ll bring to HIH this week.

Every week at Happiness is Homemade, we pick some of our favorite ideas from the previous party. It could be recipes, crafts, home decor, or anything creative you’re proud of. This group always comes up with such fun ideas, and I can’t wait to see what you share next!

This week is no exception, we have some awesome Christmas Treats and Decorations as well as a lovely pie!

Ann’s Entitled Life®: Gingerbread Waffles

Wake up to gingerbread warmth: Imagine crisp-outside, fluffy-inside gingerbread waffles warming your plate this morning. Drizzled with maple syrup or topped with fruit, they make holiday breakfasts extra special and fill the house with aroma.

Emily from Hunny I’m Home: Adorable Reindeer Cupcakes

Add a little whimsy (and sweetness) to your dessert table this season. Spread cheer with these cute reindeer cupcakes. Soft chocolate cupcakes, creamy frosting, candy‑crafted faces and antlers, a fun, delicious project for holiday baking. A treat that’s as joyful to make as it is to eat.

MaryJo from Masterpieces Of My Life: How to Style a Holiday Rustic Dough Bowl with Natural Elements

Bring forest charm indoors this holiday season. Make your home feel rustic and festive: fill a dough bowl with greenery, pine cones, cinnamon sticks, and glowing candles for a warm, natural holiday display. Simple, cozy, and full of seasonal charm

Kathy from Recipe Idea Shop: Lemon Meringue Pie

A classic pie that never goes out of style, and perfect for Christmas. Imagine a crisp pastry shell filled with smooth, zesty lemon custard and topped by a lofty, toasted meringue cloud; that’s this old‑fashioned lemon meringue pie. Simple, classic, and always a crowd‑pleaser.

Linda from Crafty Gardener: Make It a ‘Tree’mendous Christmas

Evergreen, spruce, or pine; make your holidays smell like Christmas. From fragrant firs to hardy pines, find a tree that suits your home and holiday style. A well‑chosen Christmas tree sets the tone for cozy nights, twinkling lights, and festive cheer.
