i'd rather be baking

Oh, January: you’re a tough nut to crack. Do any of you love January? Please tell me your secrets. I’m just not a fan. It’s cold and dreary out; I’m staying in and cozy.

cozy candles on the mantle

apple bread mix: a christmas gift from my grandma

apple breads cooling, late afternoon light

slippers and leggings: my clothes of choice these days

daisies from the grocery store (my favorite flower)

crucial cookie baking

winter’s only tasty tomatoes

butternut squash mac & cheese: a new favorite (recipe here)

pretty red polish

my favorite January song
