Valentine’s Day is less than a week away… While I can’t say that I have gotten anything for my hubby yet (oops, sorry honey!), I have done some Valentine’s Day baking. So, while I may not be the person to help you with great gift ideas for that special someone (in fact, if you have…
I am a huge fan of all things salty and sweet… Salted caramel? I can eat it by the spoonful. Chocolate dipped pretzels? I love them! And, I totally understand the bacon cupcake fetish…While I’ve never actually baked one, I can definitely imagine all of the salty sweet goodness. I remember when the Take5 candy…
Still looking for a last minute homemade gift idea? I’ve got you covered! Ever since I tried making these chocolate marshmallow bunnies from A Farmgirl’s Dabbles for Easter, I’ve wanted to make them again. If you’re tried making homemade marshmallows before, you know what I’m talking about. And, if you haven’t made homemade marshmallows, take…
I’ve spent the week talking about ideas for holiday entertaining. So, I thought I’d continue the theme for this week’s Friday Favorites! Whether you are hosting a big holiday party or a small dinner for a few friends, I think these recipes are sure to be a big success…
People tend to have this idea that everything in my kitchen turns out perfectly… That couldn’t be further from the truth! I’ve noticed lately that a lot of my friends are hesitant to cook for me. They’re afraid that the food won’t turn out perfectly or that I will hate what they choose to make. I…
It’s time for my Friday Favorites, again… I’m not feeling so chatty this week, so we’ll just get right to it! Easter is right around the corner… And, when I think Easter, I think of peanut butter eggs! I can’t wait to try these Homemade Peanut Butter Easter Eggs from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen!…
Valentine’s Day is less than two weeks away… Are you ready?
My husband and I don’t usually go all out with Valentine’s Day… It’s just not our thing. There are no diamonds or extravagant gifts (though I wouldn’t be entirely opposed to that). We usually make a point to get each other a card and (when we remember) a small gift. Instead, we usually make a special dinner together (which is rare) and make some chocolate covered strawberries.
Today’s Works for Me Wednesday theme is to share a holiday tip or gift idea… I had so many ideas that it was hard to choose just one. I don’t always remember to participate in the themed editions at the beginning of each month, but I couldn’t miss out on sharing a holiday tip!
I love making homemade gifts, decorating, and putting together gift baskets. I just love it! So, as you might imagine, I had quite a few ideas for this post… After much thought and consideration, I decided to share my chocolate filled cookie cutter gift tags. They are easy to make and a really fun way to jazz up a holiday gift.
Perhaps the title of this post should actually be “Proof that things don’t always go the way I had planned.” Last week I got the sudden inspiration to decorate a haunted gingerbread house. I think I might have spotted a haunted house kit in a kitchen catalog or something, and it made me determined to…
There’s something about summer that always makes me hungry for snacks. Whether I’m traveling by train, plane, or automobile, I have to have something to much on. In fact, even when I’m hanging out around the house I enjoy a yummy snack in the afternoon. Most of us have our favorite summer travel snacks… My…
