CANDY CANE CRINKLE ICE CREAM CAKE Our last food share to the blog before we take a break from la Cucina chronicles – something simple + sweet because don’t we all need a bit of that right now ❤ I made this nut-free Candy Cane Crinkle Ice Cream Cake with the kiddos this week & it was a big hit. So, if you didn’t order
Every year around this very time we do a big decluttering & purge. Out with the things that no longer spark joy before bringing any more “stuff” into the house.
