Time to make the doughnuts. Does anyone remember that commercial? I saw a photo of a doughnut tree on social media and instantly knew that I had to try to make one for the dessert table at Thanksgiving. It’s a bunch of doughnut holes in the shape of a tree. What’s not to love? I could have bought a few boxes of doughnut holes from the store, but no. Instead, I insisted on making homemade doughnut holes. Maybe it was because I wanted to save money (gosh, they are expensive). Perhaps it was because I knew a homemade version would …

Top 10 Christmas Cookies
It’s Christmas cookie baking season! I’ve made a bazillion (give or take 😉 ) kinds of cookies over the years and it gets harder and harder to find new ones that are worth sharing here. Don’t worry, I do have new ones in store, so stay tuned. This year I thought I’d kick off the cookie fest with a round up of my top 10 of Christmas cookies from Tina’s Chic Corner (in no particular order). Think of it as a one stop shop for all your cookie recipe needs. Enjoy! I love to bring a huge tray of cookies …
Christmas 2022
Welcome to our home for the holidays! The kitchen is a busy room in our home, especially this time of the year with all of the cookie baking.

I focused on neutrals and nature. I bought this table …
Sugar Kiss Cookies
These cookies get me into the Christmas mood. I always like to include a sugar cookie of some sort in my holiday cookie boxes. Usually I make a roll out sugar cookie or sugar cookie sandwich (filled with jam or chocolate hazelnut spread). This year I decided to make a sugar drop cookie instead. I made these sugar cookies two years ago and they were a huge hit so I thought I’d make them again but add a little chocolate twist to them. Isn’t the sugar coating so fun and festive?! No wonder why these have gotten me into the …
Holiday Dining Room 2022
It’s the holiday season and my husband and I are in full swing with hosting holiday dinners with family and friends. As in the previous few years, I adorned the chairs with faux wreaths. I used to spend so much time hanging them just right but last year my husband used removable clear clips (similar ones here). They are a game changer and we used them again this year. I always move things around until I get them just right. However, I had a vision for this area and I got it right the first time. I wanted my collection …
