Thomas’ Manhattan
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today on the blog is Thomas’ Manhattan! The night we put up our tree, we tried a few drink recipes like our Mudslide Cocktail and this one which I’m lovingly calling it Thomas’ Manhattan.

Christmas Table 2021
Happy Thursday everyone! Today on the blog is my Christmas Table 2021. I am using my same dishes from last year HERE but this year I really thought about how many dishes I would actually need based on the meal I plan to make.

It is ok to put out dishes that do double duty like the ramekins that I plan to use for my dessert. When...
