Christmas Season Dinner Hosting

It is that time of year when we all gather together whether as friends or family. Many parties will be had but the intimate ones are the ones that I love the most. Just hosted a great friends gathering and have a few more to go. Below are some of the recipes that I choose to celebrate.

Autumn Harvest Salad with Pomegranates
Garlic Lemon Green Beans
Baked Chicken Legs
Apricots with Goat Cheese and Walnuts
Charcuterie Board

Acoustic Peace

I find myself more often these days wanting to listen to acoustic and/or peaceful music. I just need the calmness while I need the noise to focus on my many tasks. Here are 5 compilations that I have been listening to.
