Happy Weekend friends! First edition of Kandy’s Corner of the year. I started the week off at my co-working space, shooting recipes for the site. I enlisted the help of one of my girlfriends to be my sous chef, and between us and my photographer we shot 7 dishes and 2 cocktails. I can’t wait to share with you! My only plans this weekend are to tidy up around the house and read Spare.
