I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is only a few days away! Jeremy and I are going to my parents this year, and I’m in charge of the pies (pear pecan pies and otherwise), sweet potatoes, cornbread, cheeseboard, and rolls (and I’m going to sneakily...
Before I dive into these roasted brussel sprouts, I’m going to sidetrack a bit on some stuff I’ve been up to as of late. The past month has flown by, and I think that’s because of the crazy amount of stuff I’ve packed into...
