There’s no place like home for the holidays, especially with all of the homemade treats that come with being at your parents’ house. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be taking advantage of the spacious kitchen and tools (hooray for more than a microwave!) at home. Plus, after being away at college for the semester, taking the time to bake treats with your family is a great way to relax and spend some quality time together. Below I’ve rounded up some of my favorite recipes from the Food Network’s new app, Food Network Kitchen (which, BTW, makes cooking and baking at home so easy), so you can spend less time scrolling for recipes on Pinterest and more time baking with your family.
