• Virginia Sole-Smith’s Instagram

Our winter days

The days are dark and cold, at least in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere. We thought it would be fun to share what is bringing us joy, comfort, and generally helping us get through these months until spring arrives.

Eating lately

Sarah made vegetarian beef stroganoff (with Impossible meat) from this Damn Delicious recipe.

Abby treated herself to chocolate mousse from Costco.
