#3 The Scoop

Homemade gifts + a dreamy dessert!

Hey party people!

I feel like this year was taking forever, and then November sped by and it’s already the middle of December? Being a recipe developer and running a food blog means I usually shoot my seasonal content way in advance, making the festive season feel a bit weird since I’ve already done all of my Christmas shoots! I am definitely ready to make some snickerdoodles just for fun and rewatch Muppet Christmas Carol.

1. Spicy Vodka Stuffed Shells Gillie is one of my favorite food content creators out there. Her kitchen has the dreamiest vibe and I love everything she makes! I tried out this stuffed shells recipe with spicy vodka sauce last week and loved it. She doesn’t usually provide a step-by-step recipe so there was a lot of pausing and looking to see what she was adding! Totally worth it in the end.

2. Diggle Chocolates I picked up a bar of pumpkin and almond chocolate from a new to me brand called Diggle. Holy moly. This chocolate is so good, you have no idea how hard it was not to finish it and let Will have half! While I can’t find the exact flavor I got on their site, I did see they do a Christmas chocolate box! *adds to basket*

3. Julia’s Back! I loved the first season of Julia, a tv show exploring the life of Julia Child. I didn’t realise they were going to come back with a second season and I am thrilled to start watching. The first season was so cosy and feel good, I almost want to do a re-watch before I start season 2!
