Seasonal Living Resources

There’s something deeply grounding about baking in winter, especially recipes that have been passed down through generations. These Vanillekipferl, traditional German vanilla crescent cookies, feel like the embodiment of the season: tender, nutty, lightly sweet, and meant to be enjoyed slowly. Originating in Austria, these are an easy addition to the Holiday treat tray.

The Winter Solstice always invites me to slow down and honor the quietest turning point of the year. It’s the longest night, a pause, before the light begins to return. This year, I marked the solstice not with anything elaborate, but with warmth, intention, and simple rituals that felt deeply grounding.

There’s something deeply comforting about a simple cookie recipe, especially one that delivers big flavor with very little effort. These sweet, chewy chocolate coconut macaroons are a classic for a reason. With just six basic ingredients, they come together quickly and feel both nostalgic and a little indulgent.

These chocolate-covered orange peels are one of my favorite winter rituals. They feel old-world and cozy, yet modern and elevated—perfect for gifting, nibbling with tea, or setting out with a cocktail when friends stop by.

As Mom, I can safely say, we do it all. We decorate, we buy all the gifts, we wrap everything, we bring the Holiday cheer, and when someone asks what we want for Christmas, we are too tired to even think of an idea. Use this document all year to generate meaningful ideas so you too can have a magical Holiday season. 

These Pumpkin Pie Mix Chocolate Chip Muffins are soft, fluffy, and full of cozy fall flavor — the kind of treat that makes your whole kitchen smell like autumn. Made with canned pumpkin pie mix (not plain purée), these muffins come together in minutes and already have the perfect balance of sweetness and spice built right in.
