What went on in October

​

Hello again Reader,

October came and went, with Halloween treats and all the fun that only happens during this favorite holiday.

And now we're on the final stretch with Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner! Are you planning, baking and freezing cookies, freaking out from the tasks ahead?

All of the above? I hear you.

I posted several new recipes and made some updates to old ones that will come in handy. Also, what's being saved to Pinterest and what the team and I baked, as usual.

Whatever season it is where you are (blooming Spring here 🌸), let's recap what went on this month.
