This roasted pork loin recipe looks sophisticated to make for Christmas Eve, yet is easy enough to pull off for a fancier stay-at-home dinner night. Served with spätzle in a creamy mushroom sauce, you’ll want to make this over and over again to help you feel closer to Germany!

For my German-Inspired Gift Guide (Holiday Edit), I am channeling all my favorite things that score high on sustainability, function and beauty! I hope you find a few things to help make someone’s holiday extra special!

Number 5 will surprise you! Who knew picking my top 5 German Christmas Cookies (Weihnachtsplätzchen) would be this hard!

Has fall even happened without this Zwiebelkuchen? This iconic German onion pie has to happen for me at least once every season!

A German childhood favorite, apricot jam filled cookie best enjoyed with a “Fette Henne” hot chocolate cocktail! Yum!
