A little departure today from my “Best of 2023” cookbook reviews (and to kick off the holiday season)…
Every year, I’ve mailed an advent calendar to our nieces in Colorado. I’m honestly not sure when I started but the eldest is a senior in high school this year so I’m . . . → Read More: A Cookie a Day for Advent, a holiday cookbook review

My sister ordered this book for me and had it shipped to us. She thought there might be a lot of recipes that we could adapt for our new outdoor griddle.
