It’s hard to believe I’m sharing my last post exploring my Culinary Bucket List in partnership with Silk, purveyor of exceptional plant milks and plant-based foods! I’ve been so inspired to actually start working on the list rather than adding more and more to it! I’m grateful to Silk for the jumpstart. I wanted to…

Holiday Chocolate Peppermint Magic Bars
Do you have a favorite Christmas movie? I love a number of them but will admit after seeing ‘Elf’ with Will Farrell there was no turning back for me. It is hands down the movie I can’t wait to watch each holiday season. Besides his ever jubilant outlook on life I think one of my…
