We started our morning with a "turkey trot" and a glorious sunny walk with the dogs. When we came back home, I had a nice hot batch of Wassail waiting for us, complete with my homemade Juicy Apple Popovers.
My husband has been fighting a terrible cold all week and I knew a batch of his favorite Wassail would do the trick to help him feel better.
We hope this holiday finds you, your friends and families well and full of blessings!
