Dec 9, 2023 - My "Pretty, Please" photo of the week - This is a borrowed tablecloth from my mom, so I think of her cozzy home each time I pass through my dining room. I borrowed it for Thanksgiving a few weeks back and it has remained on my table. I'm enjoying this festive burgandy & pink color scheme over the holidays (see pic below.) Hoping to stretch out my table deco through Christmas. ;-)
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.
