There’s nothing quite as festive as yummy smelling pomanders for the holidays. Every year I get together with my nieces to make them when I go back to England, it’s such a fun family tradition and they make your home smell absolutely heavenly. These clove studded oranges are typically tied with […]
The holidays are a time for feasting with friends and family, so what better gift to give someone than a festive treat? Everyone loves granola (especially me), and it’s so fun to make at home. I make it in big batches and keep it on hand in glass jars that look cute on my […]
