So happy that crab season has arrived! Ryan was working from home one day this past week so I made him this special treat. I love how simple a crab dinner can be.

gingerbread-house-ashers-favAsher's favorite thing during Christmas is building gingerbread villages (not just 1 house, a whole neighborhood! Haha). So I created a grain-free version for Celebrations so he can actually nibble while we build!

I can't wait to see pictures of your houses as you start to build them!
