These rolls are light and tender and packed with cranberries and walnuts. The perfect dinner roll to grace any holiday table - Thanksgiving or Christmas!

When smells of ginger, cloves and cinnamon are wafting out of the kitchen these big sugary molasses cookies can't be far behind! With a perfect balance of sweet and spice the only thing missing is ME and a cup of tea with milk!

My favorite holiday pie? Apple. Hands down. And Joelen has the secret to a perfect pie: "finish the components separately and then assemble them before serving."

Crisp apples cook down over the stove before they're dropped into a pie crust and sprinkled with a streusel topping. The best part? This pie only bakes for about 10 minutes before you can serve it up "a la mode with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel."
