What a big surprise when not one, but two packages were waiting for me! My Santa did an awesome job of stalking my profile and decided that my gift this year would be all about cooking.

THEY NAILED IT.

I LOVE cooking and trying new recipes. So to help with that, I received a Dutch cookbook (because according to u/like_a_rubberball, "Nothing says home like the food you grow up with. But sending mashed potatoes with kale in the mail was a bad idea. This way you can enjoy so much more of Dutch cuisine.")... AND a SUPER CUTE apron :)

Naturally, I HAD to try a few recipes from the book RIGHT AWAY. I made cheese soup, and for dessert a semolina pudding with black currant sauce. Absolutely delicious!

Thank you, Secret Santa, for making my Christmas that much more enjoyable. All the best to you and your family and have a wonderful new year!
