Mom's Christmas Cookies

It is so meaningful to me to spend time putting together photos documenting the little things. It's certainly something I've been interested in since I was young, but it's fun doing it in this more intentional way. My sister, Alison, was there to give plenty of input too! 

My mom, Brenda, is an exceptional baker!! Honestly! I'm sure everyone says that about their mom but mine really is! This year she baked us so many special treats for Christmas and I'm so happy we were able to figure out getting together for a few days.

Fried Apple & Goat Cheese Toast

Toasted farm bread with Capriole fresh goat cheese, arugula, fried apples with cinnamon, and garlic honey. 

Being at home through Covid-19 the way we have been has certainly lead to being more creative with snacks. I love taking the time to photograph food as a whole scene, rather than just the dish alone.
