5 Holiday Foods I'm Gonna Need Y'all To Try Because, Just Sayin', The Taste Will Change Your Life

If you're not sure what to make on Christmas morning, or for a holiday party, or just for a fun snack, look no longer. The following foods are some of my favorites in taste and along with the memories attached.

1. Buffalo Chicken Dip

I may have burnt my mouth so bad I went to the dentist because I ate this right out of the oven, but we're going to forget about that.

2. Fudge

For as long as I can remember, my grandma and her sister made fudge for Christmas. Sometimes I made it my meal, and I have no shame about that.

3. Breakfast Casserole

Christmas morning does not exist without a good breakfast casserole filled with sausage, egg and a little bit of cheese.

4. Materials for a Gingerbread House

Every year, my uncle Jimmy and I make a gingerbread house out of graham crackers, candy and icing. I'm not talking a 1800s cabin. I'm talking a double story house with a garage and driveway and chimney.

5. Mac 'n Cheese, obviously

Ever since I was little, I put peas and carrots and tuna in mine. Is that weird?

If you plan on inviting me to your party, or if you're in my family, I hope you consider making or buying one or more of these foods. I will love you forever and you'll be my best friend.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
