Festive Foodie: Leftovers Sliders

It goes without saying that one of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is the abundance of leftovers I’m sent home with.

So Thankful…

Happy Monday and hello, December! I have to admit that going back to work first thing this morning is not particularly ideal, partly because I’m still in a bit of a food coma but mostly because these last few days were so fun and busy that I feel like a long nap is in order […]

Long Hauls, Corn Fields and Pumpkin Carving…

A post this late in the afternoon on ‘Coffee & Chiffon‘ can and usually does mean one thing – your girl is tired and in full-blown recovery mode! I have essentially been going non-stop since Wednesday morning, and now that I’m back home in New England and back to work, I’ve been trying to get […]
