Small Business Holiday Gift Guide

small business holiday gift guide

Happy Wednesday, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, even if it looked a little different this year. Now, with the holiday season right around the corner, my first gift guide of the year is here. It’s been a tough year for so many people, including small businesses. Since March, we have been trying to support small businesses in anyway we can, whether it’s getting takeout from our favorite restaurant or shopping at small shops in the area. As I start to mark items off my Christmas shopping list, I have been trying to shop at small businesses when I can. Today, I am sharing a list of my favorite small businesses (with online shops!) in case you want to shop small this year.

Christmas Breakfast Casserole

breakfast casserole recipe

One of the things I look forward to most on Christmas morning are the breakfast casseroles. I know, it probably sounds crazy, but this is one of the few mornings that it seems alright to indulge in the “not so healthy” breakfast foods.

This new Christmas breakfast casserole might just be the new go-to on Christmas morning.
