Hello and welcome to Friiiiiday!
Eeek! Only 5 more sleeps until Santa tiiiiiiime! I’m planning our Christmas morning breakfast menu (we ALWAYS have this breakfast casserole and these muffins) and have been recruited to help make Christmas night dinner for my husband’s side of the family. I will be making two batches of my grandma’s braised ribs and my SIL is making these short ribs. Mashed potatoes and a fresh pear salad with burrata will be on the table and who knows what the others will bring to the holiday din but you know it will all be SO GOOD.
This made me laugh and totally proves my husband isn’t the only shopper out there.
