Purchase now and it will be delivered to you on the 26th.
Purchase the printed version of the Advent Calendar here. Shipping may take some time, so order early. (I don’t handle the fulfillment of orders, so it’s completely out of my hands.)
This is a fun option for gift-giving, especially if you include some of the shelf-stable ingredients. This version is more expensive to account for printing.
I hope you’re as excited as I am for these super yummy meal ideas! December is going to be so simple and sooooo tasty!
