There are a couple of traditions I gleefully look forward to every November:

#1. An entire weekend devoted to activities in front of the wood stove playing cards & board games with my BBC favorites in queue. Hot toddies, cider, popcorn, the whole nine yards….

#2. …. FRIENDSGIVING!

Friendsgiving dinner is different every year. This year I joined a group of beautiful new friends and we documented our afternoon together at Phones Wright house in Bolton, MA. I debuted a few of my new favorite holiday recipes during cocktail hour and they were a hit!!  Here are a couple of recipes to test out on your friends & family over this holiday….
