If you're anything like me, you like to eat, can't cook to save your life, adore holidays, and always try to sneak dessert before the main meal.

In my book, dessert is the best part and always worth the calories. Don't get me wrong, my momma's stuffing could bring about world peace, but the star in my book is always our homemade apple and pumpkin pies. These are the only two dishes I can make without burning down the house and they are always a crowd pleaser. But this year, I want to change it up.

As I scroll through Facebook daily, I see all kinds of holiday baked goods that are just screaming for me to attempt them. I tend to save the pages and ideas, and I scoured my saved recipes to share just with you!

If you love apple pies, pumpkin anything, chocolate, cheesecake, and cinnamon rolls, look no further.

Again, if you're anything like me, you also can't understand a recipe when it's just words and measurements. To make your holiday baking as simple as possible, the videos can be watched and the recipe will unfold right before your eyes.

Forget the Tupperware at home for these desserts are sure to go the first time around.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
