When a bunch of women get together for any kind of party…what do they usually talk about?
Yes, the topics typically range from kids and snot to favorite ways to get stains out of clothes to a good sale someone found on sweaters – and everything in between.
Since you and so many, many women are joining us here at Heavenly Homemakers for our virtual brunch – I figure that if we were sitting around in my living room visiting in real life, after we covered the above topics and shared about what all of our plans are for Christmas, the topic would surely eventually turn toward favorite recipes. Don’t you think?
That is why I’m excited today, as part of our Christmas Brunch, to share with you several more recipe ideas from years past. We can never have enough fun, comforting holiday treat recipes!
Vanilla Muffins with Crumb Topping
Have fun clicking through getting new ideas! And please share your recipes in the comments section because I love getting new ideas too. :)
Be sure to leave a comment on this post for a chance to win one of three $25 gift certificates for something downloadable from the Heavenly Homemakers Shop!

I love your warm vanilla soother!
The vanilla soother looks so great! I can’t wait to enjoy these recipes as we have a Christmas brunch each year with our family! :)
Laura, whenever I get together with a bunch of women I always talk about recipes. :) I am addicted to trying new recipes even though I have lots of tried and true ones. We’ve loved your vanilla soothers (which was perfect while I was pregnant last winter) and the vanilla muffins.
I made these gingerbread men with my kids the other day. They’re so good! Mine are rather strong-tasting, though, because unsulphered blackstrap molasses was all I had on hand.
I will be checking out these yummy recipes!
Everything looks soooo good where do I begin. I will be trying some of them real soon.
I made the Christmas Spice Cookies the other day and they were AWESOME!

We were just talking about snacks to make for tomorrow–this couldn’t have come at a better time! We’re doing muffins for breakfast, and I was going to make the pancake sausage muffins (always a hit with my daughter) and the pumpkin choco chip ones (always a hit with my honey and mother-in-law).
