Hey you!

Wednesday and Thursday will drive the most traffic to my website of the entire year. It's such a spike outside of the ordinary, it's ridiculous to even fathom. It blows my mind every year.

Those two bonkers days are fun to see, but I don't ever want it to go to my head. So, I have a tradition of using that traffic to keep myself humble and grateful by donating all of the money from the highest earning day to charities, and using the second highest earning day to give it to my employees to thank them for all that they contribute to what The Stay At Home Chef is.
​
Years ago, I did an estimate of how many people ate my dinner rolls on Thanksgiving and realized it was well into the millions. That just blew my mind. That many people trusted me with one of the most important elements of their holiday meal. It's such a tremendous honor.
​
So thank you for using my recipes this week. It means more to me than you'll ever know. It's an honor that I take very seriously.
​
Whatever it is you are making, you've got this. Play it safe with a tried and true favorite, try something totally new and different, or anything in between. Ultimately, it really is about taking the time to pause and reflect on the things in life that really matter with a heart full of gratitude.

See ya later!

People are loving this recipe quite a bit this week! The video has something like 1 million views on Facebook. Wild! They are so easy to make too, and oh so delicious!

Sugar coated almonds? Yes please! I couldn't resist and made another batch this week. They are perfect for all the holiday snacking, whether it's for a party, enjoying the holidays at home with the family, or gifting.

As a pistachio lover, it was quite enjoyable to test this recipe and design the perfect pistachio fudge. Pistachio is such a hard flavor to extract and highlight. I found that they key is to add a small amount of almond extract. You'd never identify the almond taste, but it sure makes the pistachio flavor shine.
