Who doesn’t love having easy holiday desserts? I’m THAT person, you know the one that heads over to the dessert table before even glancing at the entrees. If I didn’t have kids, I would deem every day opposite day, where desserts are the first meal. The sad truth is I am not a cook or a baker, I’m just not that handy in the kitchen. So, I married someone who is. But before I jump too far down the rabbit hole, let’s get back on track…I’ve found a few easy holiday desserts that I might be able to pull off.
