I can’t believe it’s the week before Christmas — the time has flown by.
This week on the blog I shared a turkey taco nacho skillet, an easy and satisfying weeknight dinner. I also posted favorites like caramel pretzels, a broiled wedge salad with pomegranates and pistachios, candy cane buttercrunch, and a festive Caprese quiche perfect for holiday brunch.
There’s a new “What to Eat This Week” post and an updated “A Week in the Life” entry to give you meal ideas and a peek at life lately.
