        Hey, Kaitlin! Thanks for reaching out and it was my pleasure. We have quite often in our home so it was a no-brainer:) I apologize for not reaching out because I at least like to let people know I used their recipe. But, we’ve been so crazy renovating our house that I got behind and let it slip through the cracks. Thank you for your graciousness. I hope your holiday was great as well.

        Grace & Peace,
        shane
