SNOW!! We have snow! It finally feels like Christmas is right around the corner and I’m super pumped!
These next few weeks are going to be full of all the Christmas-y things. Visits to the Christkindl Market, checking out the Marshall Fields windows and the tree in the Walnut Room, Zoolights at Lincoln Park Zoo, time with friends and family, and copious amounts of hot chocolate.

I have some awesome holiday recipes planned for the blog these next few weeks including gluten-free pierogis (ahhhh!!!), cranberry chia pudding, French onion gnocchi casserole, roasted garlic & onion jam, gingerbread candy, and a super chocolatey hot chocolate. I hope your stomachs are ready!

How was your weekend? Any snow near you? What Christmas things are you looking forward to?
P.S. Here are some great meals to make this week. Most of them take less than 30 minutes to whip up!
