Bristol WI - Cheese - Christmas - Milwaukee WI.
I forgot to tell you about one of my favorite holiday foods…Have you ever tried Merkt's cheese? This processed cheese spread out of Bristol, Wisconsin has been a family staple for years.

Breakfast - Challah - Christmas - french toast.

Christmas - Cookies - Holidays.
Cookies are on their way. Are you excited? Are you sitting at the edge of your seat? If so….sit back and relax…It's not THAT exciting. One kind baked, three in the fridge chilling…and one quick trip to the store to get something I forgot, buttermilk!!! It isn't a NY Black & White without buttermilk!!!
