10 Of The Best Holiday Desserts

What is one of the best parts of the holidays? Food of course! And more specifically, desserts. I absolutely love being in the kitchen with my family and making yummy creations that I will get to devour later that night. The only problem I ever face, is which desserts I want to fill my plate with first. That is why in this article I would like to help you decide on your favorite treat by presenting to you my top ten most anticipated holiday desserts!

Try no to drool too much as you look at these scrumptious delights.

10. Cranberry Salad

This beautiful red concoction is number ten on my list because, while it is a Thanksgiving classic, it is only my favorite in little portions. I can eat an entire chocolate pie in one setting, but this dessert calls for little spoonfuls at a time!


9. Sugar Cookies 

My favorite thing to do with sugar cookies is to decorate them for the holidays! From Santa to stockings, trees and ornaments, these cookies make an awesome family activity. However, chocolate chip cookies will always be my fave, so these sugary pretties stay at number nine!


8. Peppermint Bark

There is nothing better than sinking your teeth into some delicious peppermint bark! The combination of the chocolate and peppermint is sigh worthy and afterwards, you're left feeling minty fresh.


7. Cake Balls

Cake balls are so much fun to make! They are delicious and you can do so many different styles with them. You don't want to do turkeys? Then mix it up and make small Santas, ornaments, or snowmen. The possibilities are endless!


6. Peanut Butter Fudge

Soft and chewy, and so light and wonderful! Peanut butter fudge is an absolute must for me around the holidays. While chocolate fudge will always hold a special place in my heart, there's just something about biting into creamy peanut butter fudge that makes my tummy all warm and fuzzy.


5. Cheesecake

With this beautiful red and green decor, such a pretty cheesecake is ready for the holidays. As one of my top three favorite cakes I know I am definitely ready to invite a cheesecake over for a holiday dinner!


4. Gingerbread Cookies

How could you go wrong with a plate full of these happy little fellas? Decorating gingerbread cookies and gingerbread houses is such a fun activity! Then, when they're cooled to perfection, break out a glass of milk and enjoy. Such spicy goodness if perfect for the holiday season.


3. Pecan Pie


Mmmm pecan pie! I am in love with the amazing, gooey filling that this pie has. Pair it with the crunchy nuts and I am ready to dig in! This pie is definitely a favorite for Thanksgiving dinner.


2. Ice Cream

This dessert is a little bit out of the mainstream for typical holiday desserts, but I love it anytime and anywhere! My uncle makes the best homemade Oreo Ice cream that we get on special occasions and needless to say, I would be one happy gal to get some of it for this holiday vacation!


1. Pumpkin Pie

Last but not least, we can't forget about the pumpkin pie. A holiday classic this pie will always be one of my absolute favorites! Creamy and wonderfully seasoned with pumpkin spice, topped with whipped cream, no one can doubt that this pie is usually the star of the show!


I wish you all the happiest of holidays and I hope that each of you gets to enjoy your favorite dessert, as well as the wonderful gift of family.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

Everybody hurts sometimes.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
