Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy. That pretty much sums up my holidays. Every year, I say I’m going to get everything done in advance, so that the days leading up to Christmas can just be filled with one (or more than one) of those cheesy Christmas movies that is my guilty pleasure. It’s crazy how…
Christmas Recipes
Christmas breakfast, brunch, or dinner for one or two people is not a scaled-down version of a feast for twelve — it's a whole different kind of cooking, and it can be genuinely special. These recipes are built for the real holiday table: small, intentional, and worth every bit of the effort.
Hot Chocolate Spoons
Every year, one song sort of emerges as my Official Song for Christmas. Last year, it was “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” The year before that was the Jars of Clay version of “Little Drummer Boy.” “Little Drummer Boy” was never one of my favorites growing up until I heard their version. Incredible…you’ve got to check…

Roasted Cauliflower Steaks
Around the holidays, a lot of the food is heavy and not always the healthiest. So, I am always looking to create a recipe or two that can help lighten up this time of year. This Christmas Cauliflower Steak recipe is just perfect to serve as a vegetarian entréeor as a side dish with your…
Brie Phyllo Cups
“Just hear those sleigh bells ringin’ and a jing-jing-jinglin’ too. It’s lovely weather to make Brie Phyllo Cups together with you!” That seems like a lot of extra syllables there, but I’m pretty sure that’s how the song goes. I’m definitely in the holiday spirit this year and I’m just so happy to have Alexis…
Chocolate Truffles
It’s the holiday season! Well, it’s November 27th and, frankly, that’s good enough for me. To be perfectly honest with you, I was ready pretty-much around Halloween this year because I made it a point to get the holidays kicked off early. (Thank you Hallmark Channel for starting Christmas on October 26th and fitting perfectly…
Happy Thanksgiving!Pecan Pie
Thanksgiving is upon us and I just can’t wait for Turkey Day! I just love Thanksgiving…and being in Atlanta this year, I think we might be in for some cool weather…which I am also very excited about because it has been in the 80s in Los Angeles for the past several weeks. It is nice…

We’re kicking off the month with a rich…
The Best Roasted Potatoes Ever!
(Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary, Garlic and Pine Nuts)
When I create recipes for Tiny Kitchen Big Taste, many of them go through a lot of testing. This was one of them. You might be thinking, “They’re roasted potatoes…what’s to test?” Well, I’m glad you asked. Actually, you didn’t…I just suggested you did so that I could tell you about all the different ways…
Orange Cranberry Muffins
I hope this holiday season has been a wonderful one for you, your family and friends. As you have probably already surmised if you’ve read any of my posts or seen any of my YouTube videos, I just love this time of year!!! Yes, I’m that person who would love for the Christmas season to…
Merry Christmas Cookies (feat. Natalie Korzon)
‘Tis the season to be jolly…and really, what makes you jollier than Homemade Christmas Cookies. Just ask Santa! This year I knew I wanted to do a Tiny Kitchen Big Taste episode about making and decorating Homemade Christmas Cookies. After all, I’ll be visiting the best niece and nephew an uncle could ask for this…
