I wanted to end blogmas with our Christmas Day usual. Obviously, things are a little different, but after a hiatus last year, I finally get to celebrate Christmas with my family again. I know that isn’t the case for everyone, but we are all double vaccinated, grandma has her booster and we all keep small…
If you live in a colder climate, winter can throw your whole skincare routine for a loop. I have perfected my winter skincare routine, and I wanted to share it with you. All of us are going to have far different skincare requirements, so this isn’t a “you should be doing this” kind of post….
I love cranberries and I am always going to be team cranberry sauce when there is a turkey dinner. Yes, you also need the gravy, but that tart but the sweet hit of cranberry sauce just elevates your turkey to a new level. Now, your sauce doesn’t need to be complicated, and because of that,…
This decadent eggnog cheesecake is life in my opinion. This is the dessert we have every year after Christmas dinner, but I haven’t seen a lot of eggnog in the stores yet, so I’m a little concerned. COVID, don’t you dare take eggnog cheesecake from me. However, I wanted to make this dish a little…
I think Christmas Eve has to be my favourite holiday celebration. Now, I love Christmas day with my family, but Christmas Eve or as we call it in our household – Jewish Christmas – is just so laid back. Sometimes it’s just us; sometimes friends join us. We have our fair share of traditions we…
I prefer to sit down and create goals for myself each year. I take those goals and I pick large goals and then break those larger goals down into mini-goals that I may break down into quarterly goals, depending on what those goals may be. To me, if I sit down and create “resolutions”, I…
Is there anything better than chocolate peanut butter squares? These can be made year-round and for any occasion, but in our family, these are a traditional dessert spread option. EVERY YEAR. These and shortbread cookies. If you’ve ever been over to our house or my aunt’s house in the month of December, you’ll have seen…
I wanted to do some fun blog posts, and that includes this Christmas tag. I know that tags aren’t the most popular thing anymore, but I figured it was a good way for you to get to know me a little better, but centred around the holidays. You know that I would totally love to…
Christmas baking is dangerously addicting, and technically these gingersnap cookies don’t have to be, but really, they do. Everyone finds these cookies very addicting and comforting all at the same time. I love ginger in cooking, and I always enjoy a good ginger tea. And of course, during cold and flu season, I love to…
Finding ways to display your stockings when you don’t have a fireplace can feel like an absolute pain, but it’s really not. My aunt and my sister both have fireplaces, so the stockings get hung there, but I don’t have one in this place, nor in our last place. If you’re struggling to find a…
