I didn’t have as much time to bake this year with our new little roommate to tend to, but it wouldn’t have felt like a holiday season without making SOME sort of treats. I had to make the usual batch of Furikake Chex Mix and tried …
I have been posting a ton of recipes made in our new kitchen lately, and have been hit or miss with including links to the recipes, so here they all are! My round-up from Thanksgiving this year: This year, instead of using all chicken …
