It’s Monday. We’re in the final stretch with Christmas now just five days away. I did manage to get most of my shopping done over the weekend and that’s a huge relief. I’m looking forward to a short easy week as most of my clients are on vacation through the New Year.

My stepdad is Italian, loves to cook, and is very well known for his pasta sauce. But when the holidays come along he turns into a peanut brittle making machine. He loves to make it for friends & family and every year I’m blown away at how good it is. The weird part is, he makes it in the microwave! Seriously. And it’s the best damn peanut brittle you’ll ever have. Pair that with some hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps and you have a very happy holiday.
