If you can’t tell, I’m a pretty big fan of most food. Yet, brunch makes it up there as my all time favorite. This year was the first Christmas away from my immediate family in Michigan. For years I’ve been told that after getting married I would have to create my own traditions, but to…
Chai-Spiced Apple Baked Oatmeal I am in love with this season. It’s finally cool in the mornings and evenings, yet still sunny and warmer in the afternoon.
