a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
Happy Sunday everyone! I hope that you are all enjoying your long weekend. I unfortunately came down with Covid on Thursday, so my long weekend has been spent indoors in isolation. Definitely not ideal, but it is what it is. On the plus side, it …
This past weekend was my annual holiday baking weekend. This year I baked six different types of cookies to share and enjoy over the holidays. I stuck with my annual go-to’s for five of the cookies and decided to try something new for the last …
