TGIF!


Hi Reader,

Happy Friday! We don't have much planned this weekend & I'm looking forward to that.

What to Make this Weekend

In home news, Julia turns 12 (!) at the end of the month & I've been struggling with gift ideas. She LOVES pickles so this silly game is tempting me. Feel free to send me any ideas, I'd appreciate them.

And do I need a heated ice cream scoop for birthday dessert?! I didn't know that was a thing.

Talk to you soon!

Oh, p.s. Don’t forget that if you make the corned beef or pistachio cake recipes, you can enter my monthly challenge. Details here!
