I’ll be going home for the holidays, which means: cleaning out my fridge and preparing all of my gifts. So besides massive amounts of cookie baking, I have been busy trying to get myself together so I can relax at home with my loved ones. Last night I made an easy dinner, incorporating as much [...]
Aside from consuming copious amounts of cookies this week, I’ve also had some great foods and wine.
