Amsterdam, London, Austria, Germany

I heard Prague, Czech Republic is magical during the holidays or Switzerland

Wouldn’t recommend going to the typical tourist places mentioned above. If you wanna have a more authentic experience go to the lesser known countries (for ppl outside of Europe). I’m talking about Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia, Montenegro , Croatia 💚

Luxembourg! Strasbourg is also great!

Amsterdam! I especially love this place when I wanted just slow days on vacation. Great food and scenery!

Rovaniemi in Finland is truly magical and postcard-worthy during the holidays. The landscapes look otherworldly around Christmas time!

What better destination to spend Christmas than in Basel, Switzerland's most stunning and expansive Christmas City? The area's vibrant old town preservation makes me think of Whoville from The Grinch. I mean, the lights, the pine trees, and the snow! Amazing!

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
