Tuesdays always seem like the busiest days for me. After teaching a 9:45 class I run home and get stuff done and eat lunch with Anna. Then I make dinner and do things around the house while she sleeps. When she wakes up, we play and then I am off to a 6pm class. By the time I get home, it’s bed time. So this is my nap/get things done time and I need to clean like crazy before Thanksgiving – in 2 DAYS!!

So…

Here is a fun holiday recipe from Dr. Mike Fenster– check out his interview if you missed it!

I think these look so cute! They would be great if you have a holiday dinner party coming up!
