Eggnog Monte Cristos
My husband has more recently talked about the Eggnog Monte Cristos I made last year for Christmas Eve, & as soon as he said the word “Monte Cristo” I think both of our mouths started watering.

Like best holiday appetizer I’ve every made. We’ve had to talk so much lately about planning out the holidays this year, & the topic of “what should we make” seems to be the center of the conversation.

It’s just I legitimately can’t pinpoint the last time we’ve had nothing to do, or dare I say be bored. \

Italian Style Sausage & Eggs
He works & I cook. That truly is not honestly how it works around here - our usual mojo is that if he works, I work, meaning I really make an effort to join in on the current household project. & today the household chore is installing new flooring, which lord knows is the last thing I thought we'd be DIYing. I met Jordan at Home Depot to pick out a floor that looked good, which equated to 30 minutes of indecisiveness & waffling between two colors that we'd narrowed it down to. But we figured it out, bought about 30 boxes of hardwood
