Samantha: the blog

As you know, I don't cook. Or if you don't know, you do now.
Personally, I think it's a waste of time.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm all about good food. I just prefer to pay someone to cook it for me.
With that being said, I was in a mood today. A cooking mood. Weird, I know.
So, I suggest that you savor this moment, because these are likely the only recipes I will ever be sharing.
They are two of my most holiday favorites, btw.
