  1. Just wanted to say thanks for the stuffed pepper recipe! Went down a treat – healthy but still super festive.

      I’m so glad you liked it!

  2. These all look so great! Beautiful colors! I certainly have been eating way too many cookies these days and having a few too many cocktails. A little lightening up is in order!

  3. I want to come to your holiday party! These all look amazing. Can’t wait to make some for Christmas Eve. 🙂

  5. It all looks so delicious – love the pretty selection you made, but makes us wonder with which one to start… 🙂
