Rice Christmas Tree

I love this one so much! I don't usually post about work but I was so darn proud of this Christmas tree we made for the annual food drive. This year we took up money collections for people who didn't want to shop and we raised enough to buy a whole pallet full of big 50lb rice bags from Sam's Club. Which, if you didn't know, is Arkansas rice! And then we made it into a lovely Christmas tree with lights and little rice gifts beneath. Cutest little guy ever!! XOXO

 

Capitol Lighting 2025

One of our favorite things!! The holiday lighting at the capitol. We missed last year but went to Brian's office this year and we able to watch from the side view. It wasn't AS good but we had plenty of good company and delish hot cocoa from daddy's office. The girls always love it! We snapped this picture of them behind Justice Wood's desk to send her :)

Ras al Hanout

We loved this! Have already made it three times. It's extra good with crispy bread. We have made it twice when I have homemade bread and it's wonderful. We've also paired it with rice but prefer the bread. It's super easy, lots of protein and delish! Try it!!
