Personal Stories
The holidays are so magical with children. We had to make a last minute batch of snickerdoodle cookies, because they had heard those were Santas favorites lol. On Christmas eve we had prime rib and salad, Greek potatoes and stuffed mushrooms. We lit our German tree which was decorated with chocolate ornaments (which Sam kept eating, there were only 2 left by the time it was Christmas eve lol).
Links I'm loving
Links I'm loving this week:
- Box openers for the millions of boxes!
- I have a pair of these sherpa lined slippers with a sole and I can tell you that they're so amazing. I can even wear them outside because they have a sole. They're 70% off.

Just made this and it turned out great! Didn’t have the picked veggies but used some fresh carrot, coriander, green onion and kimchi. Basically, whatever we had in the fridge. No need for the sauce as the turkey is already tasty enough. Thanks for the great recipe!
