Rosemary Roasted Nuts are an easy and elegant appe Rosemary Roasted Nuts are an easy and elegant appetizer for holiday get-togethers. Sweet and salty with a hint of rosemary, these are perfect to set out for guests alone or include in a festive cheese board. We love to make extra and give as a hostess gift with a bottle of wine. โญ๏ธ๐ŸŽ„โ™ฅ๏ธ

Anthropologie-inspired Velvet Bow Ornaments are th Anthropologie-inspired Velvet Bow Ornaments are the sweetest addition to your Christmas tree. ๐ŸŽ€๐ŸŽ„โญ๏ธ After scouring Amazon for the perfect set of velvet ribbons in pretty colors, we practiced, practiced, practiced tying these bows! 

The ribbons we ordered were 1 yard of each color, so we cut in half to get two bows of each. You can make 60 bows for about $20! Add a simple alligator clip to the back and place on your tree. Weโ€™ve also added these bows as festive touches around the house. 

See our stories for the links ๐Ÿ”—๐Ÿค

Mashed Potatoes with Fried Sage is one of our favo Mashed Potatoes with Fried Sage is one of our favorite elevated Thanksgiving side dishes. Cook Yukon gold potatoes with some garlic and bay leaves. Add in cream and butter, but the secret is mascarpone cheese to make these the creamiest, dreamiest potatoes! To top it off, we brown up some butter and fry sage leaves. The brown butter and sage make the potatoes look so fancy, but this recipe is so easy to make. ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿค๐Ÿฆƒ
