Friday Faves

Hello, and happy almost holiday Friday Faves!

Today’s post is going to be straight to the point, because we all have so much celebrating to do, why dance around the subject when we can be dancing with sugar plums instead?

Even though there is still one more Friday left before sending December on it’s way, this will be the last Friday Faves of the year. I’m going to be taking some time off to spend with family and getting in some travel time. YAY! So where will I be? Head over to Instagram and follow me @foodiecrush to find out. I’ll be sharing on my Instagram stories some amazing food and totally new to me exotic locations. Ooo la la. Enticing I know, but also internet may be spotty so we shall see!

Thank you all SO MUCH for such an amazing 2017. It’s seriously been just the most amazing year. If you have any suggestions of what you’d like to see more of in 2018, or less of too, simply reply to this email if you’re signed up for my newsletter, leave a comment below, or email me at [email protected] 

Wishing you all the very, very best this holiday. Stay safe, savor the sweetness of the season, and I hope you find time to get into the kitchen and cook something good.

XOXO, Heidi

And now, let’s dig into this week’s list of Friday Faves!
