This is the last episode of Season 4 and it is appropriately named too because I think I've moved on from so many things this year already. We discuss our past choices and decisions with moving on as well as give you some tips and tricks how not to get stuck or overthink the idea of moving on. Today I created a dessert inspired by ChefLeen herself and it is an Apple Cheesecake Crumb Pie, which turned out to be really delicious.
