The holidays are finally here! This year I’m taking the second half of December off from posting new content to the blog (that means that after today, you won’t hear from me until 2020!), and instead attempting to keep the celebrations as low-stress as possible.
So, before I go, I’m sharing all my favorite simple, crowd-pleasing recipes for breakfast, sides, main dishes, and desserts (that can all be prepped in advance of the big day!!), that deliver majorly in the flavor department.
