Anyways, Happy Hump Day you guys, I have some amazing Christmas Menu recipes for us today, all of them from my favorite Boss Ladies of the food blogging world.

    having just come home from taking care of Cooper T, another loving, cuddly black puppy for 3 weeks, I find myself missing the greetings at the door, snuggles under the covers, the tapping on my side to ‘shake hands’-the precursor for treats, and send HUGS to your little love!!
