    12/01 / No Comments

    I had the pleasure of visiting one of our local restaurants the other day and had their version of a Monte Cristo!

I mean how rude would it be to not do so?  If you want to make your French Toast ahead of time follow this recipe (uses brioche bread) then stack your sandwich and make more like a grilled cheese ensuring the cheese is melted and gooey! If you still have leftover turkey or ham and need ideas for how to mix it…

    Amazing & Easy Shortbread Cookies

    I love the versatility of shortbread cookies! I love them even more dipped in chocolate! I took these one more step and added peppermint because my little one loves it!

    I am guilty! Guilty of doing something that I just need to stop doing! What is that you ask? Comparing my childhood to my kids!
