| Hi friends! I hope you've had a restful post-Thanksgiving week. Can you believe it's the last month of 2022? I swear we were just talking about the end of summer and BAM the end of the year is here.
December might just be my favorite month because not only is it filled with more holidays (including Tony's and my birthday!) but it's a wonderful time to reflect, cozy up with friends and family, and of course, bake your heart out. You guessed it: cookie season is here and I'm so ready for it. Mark your calendars: for December's Cooking Party! This month we're changing things up with a brand new theme and a recipe you're going to LOVE. Hint: there may be dessert involved.
