    Thank you for the round up! I look forward to these every year/season :) was this the post where you could find the full menu suggestions? I remember seeing something like that on insta maybe? I swear I saw that and now I can’t find it and I’m wondering if I had a fever dream about it, lol. Christmas and NYE would be great to make those suggested menus too, if you’d be willing/able to. Thank youuuu so much for sharing all of your work with the world. Forever my faves <3

        For some reason it’s not showing up for me. I’ve tried using different browsers (Chrome + Safari) in case it was that but nothing.

    Hi Dana!

    When I click on the pomegranate chicken recipe, it sends me back to the home page. I think there was an error when adding it and wanted to let you know :).
