- This and That is a day late because of Christmas. We hope you had a good holiday.
- Our Christmas was a good one…family, good food, and lots of sports.
- The boys got new bikes for Christmas so we’ve been riding around. Unfortunately, we don’t have snow for good skiing. It’s crazy how warm it is in Utah.
- Have you seen any good movies? We are thinking about going to the theatre over break.

- On the blog this week, a savory breakfast casserole and a delicious holiday cookie.
- I hope you had a very Merry Christmas! We made a big brunch and dinner and I was able to watch all of my NBA games. The perfect day!
- I baked a lot of cookies this week. We shared with friends and our freezer is stocked…for awhile:)
- I got this sweater and this sweater for Christmas and I love both!
- If you still have cranberries, make my cranberry orange bread or easy cranberry orange cake. I made both this week!
- The Madewell sale is good! A few favorites: jeans, sneakers, socks, and another pair of jeans. I am browsing the Pottery Barn sale too. A good time to get holiday items for next year.
- I finished Emily in Paris, not my favorite season, but entertaining enough. I’m going to start All Her Fault, I’ve heard it’s good.
- Eby is having a 30% off sitewide sale! The Relief bra is my favorite.
- When do you take down your Christmas tree?
- If you have leftover ham, make this soup or this soup!
- I got this runner for our kitchen and I love it!
- This sweater is in my cart.
- Don’t miss the TODAY only (Friday) Quince sale! I love this cardigan, coat, the softest sweatpants, cashmere socks, sweater, and oversized cardigan.
- Do you have any fun New Year’s Eve plans? We are going to stay in and make dinner…and probably be asleep by 10, ha!
My husband broke his left pinkie finger a few weeks ago, meaning I was the one doing EVERYTHING.
Let me tell you, it makes you prioritize big time. The tree had been up for weeks but finally, the day before Christmas I managed to get it fully decorated as well as all the holiday cookie baking and it was not easy. Luckily, we only had the three of us for dinner. Over the next two weeks, there are about five family and/or friend events.
I hope your husband’s finger heals quickly. Enjoy the rest of your holiday!
Hi Maria
I have been a fan of your recipes for quiet a while now, so last week I purchased your recipe book,
I love it and thank you for all the lovely recipes you produce.

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the book!
Happy holiday to you and your family. We had a nice merry Christmas football and basketball and I tried some of your new recipes. The family loved them. Thank you.
