Over the weekend I took my first AR Workshop class after admiring their projects on Instagram for months.

4 recipes to upcycle your Thanksgiving leftovers

This Thanksgiving, MPR and I stayed home with our puppy who was recuperating from knee surgery. But just because it was only the two of us, we didn’t want to skimp on our Thanksgiving meal.
