What's next on your holiday shopping list?

I may look easy-breezy here, walking out of one of my local shops... what you don't see is my gangly 11 year old son, holding all of my shopping bags filled with gifts, just beyond the shot!

This is a great season to shop local and explore what area artisans have to offer! Whether it's fine crafts at your local gift shops or bookstores (like @_shopberyl or @odysseybookshop), florists (@rootedflowers or @theflowershed413) or even gift cards to local hot spots like @contessa_boston!

And, don't forget to grab some gift cards from favorite specialty grocers like @provisionswine or @corsellobutcheria! Lets take the time to support & share the love of those who are really creating amazing food, drink, and crafts!

Let there be light...

Happy Hanukkah to all of those that celebrate! I feel like I've just bounced from all things turkey and pie, to dreidel spinning and latkes!

The Jewish Festival of Lights, marks the start of the winter holiday season for me. I have visions of wrapping gifts, looking at holiday lights, and enjoying a cocktail by the fire.

Speaking of cocktails... (oh! The segue...), I'll be hosting an exclusive cocktail workshop for backstage pass holders & members over at BLOOMTV @bloomtv.network. Want more info? Click over to their page and check out some of the other workshops while you're there too!

Real Quick... Do you know the difference between

Real Quick...

Do you know the difference between 'stuffing" & 'dressing'?

According to @merriamwebster, Stuffing is a combination of bread crumbs, vegetables, seasonings and butter, that is then 'stuffed' into a turkey and baked. Whereas Dressing, is made of similar components (my favorite being a cornbread base!), but is baked outside of the bird in a separate casserole pan.

However, with modern food safety guidelines, enjoying stuffing-baked-in-the-bird is a no go. So, does that actually make all modern stuffings, dressings?

I'm not sure of the answer, but I would love to hear your take on the stuffing vs dressing debate!

❤️My favorite recipe for stuffing-not-stuffed-in-the-bird is my Quick Sourdough Stuffing with sausage & Cranberry! Filled with sweet & savory ingredients like Bell’s Poultry Seasoned hand-torn sourdough bread, turkey breakfast sausage, fresh herbs, carrots, celery, onion, cranberries, and chicken stock, this stuffing is baked to toasty perfection!

Did you know that the dances in the second act of the holiday favorite, The Nutcracker Suite, are based off of different foods from around the world?

I’ve danced every role from sweet bubble gum pink French Marzipan to Spanish Hot Chocolate, to glittering Dew Drop, dripping with jewels…

But, my very favorite role was based on an exotic ‘caffeinated’ beverage… any guesses? ☕️🧞‍♀️

QUESTION!

Have you ever seen the Nutcracker?

Are you tired of being cold on these dark Fall nights?

You need this amazing cocktail that warms you from the insIde out!

The Fireside Apple Cider & Cinnamon Whiskey Boulevardier, is a riff on a classic stirred Negroni cocktail! Swap out the gin for @whistlepigwhiskey, with some apple cider, sweet vermouth and Campari. It's taken to the next level with a homemade cinnamon simple syrup & a twist of orange.

Cinnamon spiced, warming, and so simple that you don't even need a shaker to make it, this is the Fall's MUST HAVE cocktail!
