View in browser Years ago, my good friend Jill invited me and a few more gals over to her house to build gingerbread houses. When we arrived, her place smelled incredible— as she had baked and constructed little gingerbread houses for each of us. The table looked like a carnival, with every kind and color of decorations you can imagine! She had collected all of this amazing candy from all over the world. 2020 2020 2020 It’s become a tradition that each of us cherishes and this year, we didn’t let our need to keep physical distance get in the way of our annual celebration. Jill carefully wrapped already-built gingerbread houses for each of us and sent them along with a myriad of candies. When Jill delivered mine to my door, I couldn’t wait to get to work! Decorating that little house brings out the artist in me. As Pablo Picasso allegedly said, "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life”. My gingerbread house is more of a brightly colored Kandinsky than a Picasso, but I must say that my soul sure feels lifted Hope that you are enjoying some wonderful traditions this holiday season and here’s some recipes that you may want to add to the mix: • • • holiday recipes • • • Hot Fig Toddy Gingersnaps Upside down Pear Gingerbread Panforte • seasonal recipes • Love and Peace, PS I'll be on Instagram Live Thursday, December 17 @ 4pm PT You can also find me here!
