Happy Holidays to EVERYONE!
The Holidays are filled with traditions! Here’s one of Lee’s very favorites. Every year, Lee spends hours lovingly preparing these incredible Roasted Cashews for his clients. The recipe comes from his favorite chef (and four-legged, best friend namesake) Ina Garten! He puts them in sealed jars, and hand delivers them.
