I LOVE living where we have four seasons. Fall and winter are my absolute favorite seasons because of recipes like this one that give you a warm hug in the morning.
This is my “go to recipe” when we have overnight guests. This recipe involves a little bit of work the night before, but it is SO worth it the next morning!
