I can’t believe that Christmas is only a few days away! From festive overnight oats to cookies and appetizers for holiday exchanges, my kitchen has been getting lots of extra use. While I love to cook year round, it feels extra special to be able to cook and share so many meals with loved friends and family during holiday gatherings.
This is a busy season, where it’s easy to get wrapped up in all the festivities and extra to-dos. In moments where I can, I want to keep making an intentional effort to slow down, to pause, and simply remember the true meaning of Christmas.
