Dec 2, 2023 - My "Pretty, Please" photo of the week - Each year I choose one main paper for gift-wrapping, and I also use brown butcher paper with colored ribbons. This is my 2023 Christmas wrap, along with light olive green sheer fabric ribbon. It wasn't necessarily sold as a Christmas wrap, and I purchased it in October, but it works and it's a pretty addition in my living room!
Menu: By planning ahead, I can always count on having delicious & nutritious "fuel" for the coming week, as well as some flexibility to switch things up. If you're viewing this on your phone, you will need to scroll to the right to see lunch & dinner. Links below will send you to my own recipe, a cookbook/borrowed recipe, or the restaurant I visited. If you'd like more info on anything without a link, then please Get in Touch.
