Sometimes winter calls for a bright and crunchy salad that’s like a staycation on a plate. See Tuna Salad Two Ways on the blog.
Southwest Chicken Soup is just the ticket for today’s cold weather. Slow soup or fast soup? Your choice! See the recipe at the link in profile.
It’s a good day for Orange Ginger Beef Stew.
Who am I to ignore #nationalchocolatecakeday? This Black Forest Cake seems like a great way to celebrate it.
The photos tell the story of the top 10 recipes on UrbanCottageLife.com in 2020, from #10 to #1. Check out the post at the link in my profile.
Another pair of beautiful earrings made by @lyndacarrdesigns from @curiositiesgs. Love the combo of old copper and silver, and the round elements of the design. New favourites!
My #bestnine2020. What can I say, you really liked it when I finally got my hair done! And batch cooking was pretty popular too. And then there’s a Christmas gift and a stiff drink to round things out.
Two options for New Year’s Day dinner: vegan braised lentils, beets & squash or (and?) an apple-stuffed pork roast with apple butter glaze. Both lentils and pork are auspicious for the new year. Let’s hope they work their magic for 2021! See link in profile.
You can still enjoy a lovely New Year’s Day brunch even if dining alone or with only the members of your household due to pandemic restrictions. Check out the link in my profile for a mix & match menu you can choose from to celebrate the arrival of 2021 in style.
