The holidays are rapidly approaching! In a time when our country is experiencing one of the worst economic crisis’ since the great depression, it is difficult for most to get excited and bring real holiday cheer to the table. The holidays come around every year to remind us how fortunate we actually are, and to remind us of those who are in far worse positions. Be grateful this year, and share that gratitude and hope with some less fortunate, remembering to always be good to each other, through the holidays, and throughout the entire year. Enjoy our sample recipe provided by Martha Stewart, and have a happy holiday from our families at Phillips & Lyon, to yours!
