Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow. ~ Ed Sheeran I heard this song for the first time today. Of all days! So timely as we close out 2020...such a transformative year for so many of us. ... I’m holding on tight to all those moments that have taught me so much this year (there have been so many). As much as I’d like to turn the page on 2020, I’m so grateful for what it has showed me. In 2021, I’m looking forward to a new year glowing with new discoveries, new adventures and new sunsets. Happy New Year! From my kitchen to yours, I wish all of you a year filled with much hope, health, peace, joy and love. #happynewyear #2021 #newyear #afterglow #thankyouedshereen #gratefulforlife #gratefulheart

Merry Christmas Eve! It may not be the typical gathering of people around the table, but it doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the tradition of dishes on Christmas and its eve. This dish always graces our table cardoons. And we especially like them gratinata or au gratin. They’re about to go in the oven for their final bake. ... Recipe is in the stories just in case you’re grabbing a bunch today at the grocery store. Merry Christmas Eve! I hope your day is as abundant with great food as it is with joy, love and laughter!

I run into the same problem every year when I’m baking holiday cookies... my family eats them all before Christmas. Anyone else have that problem!? It didn’t help that Suzie Durigon roasted lemon & dark chocolate biscotti recipe from her cookbook BAKED is irresistible! sign required on this page!!!... They’re a little different than the tradition biscotti recipe. See my IG stories. Baking game going strong today. Hope you’re all enjoying your Sunday!

Party on a plate. The next best thing if you can’t get together with special peeps. I think we’re all in agreement that we’re missing the holiday get-togethers with friends and family, but it’ll be that much sweeter when we’re together again. Cheers to all of you, friends! (I’m off to do some baking). ... XO
