When they say “can you bring something?” 😅

Published 2 days ago • 3 min read

Hello Reader,

Okay, real talk for starters.

This week I looked at my calendar and realized that I have two Christmas things coming up:
✔️ Christmas party at work
✔️ Cousins gathering

And of course, both came with the same question:
​Can you bring one of your yummy desserts?

Yes. I can.
Did I want to stress about it? Absolutely not!

So I went straight to my list. Easy desserts that travel well, don’t need fancy tools, and still get the the greatest feedback.

That’s exactly what I share on my blog - perfect desserts, dinner ideas, and appetizers that actually work in real life.

Now, if you are hosting this year and feeling that little panic creep in, I see you. That’s why I created my hosting course with short, bite-sized modules. No stress. Just clear steps to plan, cook, and host without losing your mind.

There is still time left to get ready! Make sure you use the code HOLIDAY30 for a discount 👇

And if you’re not hosting and just need one solid dessert to bring? I’ve got a free dessert booklet waiting for you. Easy, festive, and stress-free.

Because Christmas parties should be fun… not another thing on your overwhelmingly long to-do list ❤️
