I know it’s the season for insanity but once things start to slow down we’re often relieved. We thought it would be helpful to share something useful right now! And that would be… recipes. Since everyone is prepping for all things guests and more… and also trying to wind down, we thought we’d share some of our favorite holidaiscal recipes in a Christmas recipe round up! Something that you may not know about us, is that we’re kind of big foodies, and that we love everyone in the kitchen. So from appetizers to desserts and everything in between… here are a few of our favorites for entertaining: a Christmas Recipe Round Up!
