tipsy (not)tuesday - lavender 75

I realize this isn't a Tuesday, but needs must. New Years Eve's a'comin and I have a cocktail that has to head your way before that bell...

OH, HELLO THERE!

I'm Whitney.

Welcome to My Own Little Mess! I'm so glad you stopped by. This is where I get to share the recipes I love - both those of my childhood and those I create now - and the traditions that made cooking and baking such a joyful part of all our lives.

The table is the heart of community and that is the heart of this blog. I am so excited to share these meals with you!
