Hello, and happy Thursday friends! My week is flying by and I am not complaining! I wanted to pop in and share a few things I am loving lately. Hanukkah The first night of Hanukkah was on Tuesday evening. To be honest, I get pretty homesick for my family during any holiday I am away from…

This Sun-Dried Tomato Dip is a healthy party appetizer that you can throw together in five minutes with just four ingredients!
