Bake the Season Bright

The holidays are here, which means we’re gearing up to make all the delicious things: holiday desserts and cookies, our favorite holiday side dishes, and more. Looking for inspiration? We’ve shared our favorite recipes below, including our latest showstopper, the croquembouche.

Magical Holiday Desserts

When it comes to a centerpiece dessert, nothing is as dramatic (and delicious) as the Croquembouche. This classic French dessert is made from pâte à choux puffs filled with pastry cream, dipped in caramel and surrounded by spun sugar. While making a croquembouche is a time-consuming process, the steps are simple—you've got this!

If you’re looking for something a little more streamlined, make sure to check out our Gluten Free Pecan Pie. Made with our Gluten Free Pie Crust Mix, it’s a classic dessert that’s a cinch to put together!

Another classic holiday dessert is our Gingerbread Shortbread Cookies. These crisp and flavorful cookies are simple to make, yet delicious enough for Santa. Enjoy with a cup of hot cocoa this holiday season.

The holidays are a magical time, but let’s get real: that magic usually involves a lot of work. Fortunately, a well-planned charcuterie board can be your secret weapon to stress-free holiday entertaining! We love to use our delicious Oat Crackers to create delicious charcuterie boards featuring our favorite meats, cheeses and extras. With Classic, Rosemary, Sesame and Jalapeño flavors, you can mix and match to create a wide variety of appetizer platters.

We love gingerbread cookies here at the mill–so much so, we made a gingerbread version of the Whole Grain Store, Restaurant & Bakery! While you may not be up for creating your own waterwheel, we do offer tips and tricks to make your own gingerbread house.

Irresistible Holiday Sides

People may ooh and ahh when the turkey (or tofurkey) is brought to the table, but everyone knows: it’s the side dishes that make the meal. Fortunately, we have a vast array of luscious holiday sides to inspire and delight. Creamy Mashed Potatoes start with our Potato Flakes, made with 100% real russet potatoes, and end with an irresistible combination of butter, cream cheese, sour cream and chives.

Next up: we have a gorgeous Cheesy Pull-Apart Christmas Tree. This gluten free and keto-friendly cheesy pull-apart Christmas tree is topped with an herbed garlic butter sauce and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
