Happy Holidays everyone! I know we’re all in the middle of getting ready for the biggest season of the year and I’m super psyched too.

Over the weekend, I took the time to read two different thrillers; Misery by Stephen King and You by Caroline Kepnes. Both are supposed to be super suspenseful and great reads. I did have a great time reading both of these books, but what I found interesting is that both thrillers included characters blaming others…

Recently, I read Legendary by Stephanie Garber and thought long and hard about what kinds of foods I could pair with a story like this. I think I finally figured it out and I’ll show you why I chose apple crumble.
