Hot Cocoa on a Stick (#HomemadeHolidays)
Have you ever noticed that having foods presented in different way tastes better, or are just a lot more fun? As an example, when I was a kid, sandwiches cut diagonally ALWAYS tasted so much better! Or how fair food is always served on a stick. Fun, right? Well, what would you think about taking…
Instant White Chocolate Peppermint Cappuccino (#HomemadeHolidays)
When I was a kid, the only way you could enjoy coffee was to either have it black or add cream and/or sugar. No fancy flavors. Nothing special. Then, Maxwell House International Cafe coffees became available. The first coffee options for “at home enjoyment.” That was a while ago. Now, it seems that cappuccino is all…
Preparing for Guests the Holiday Season
This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Cottonelle, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #CottonelleHoliday http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO With Thursday being Thanksgiving, I’ve been asked by many people if “I’m cooking or if someone else is cooking.” You know, the big dinner with all the trimmings….
Make Your Own Limoncello (#HomemadeHolidays)
A couple of weeks ago, I started making some gifts from the kitchen (Limoncello, Kahlua, and Vanilla Extract) that have an “aging” time. In other words, these items are great gifts that require some time on the shelf before they are given. Well, I’m super excited to let you know that one is ready for the final…

Snowman Poop (#Homemade Holiday)
My daughter is the queen of cheesy jokes. She has an arsenal of them. Here’s just one of her goodies (you need to read it aloud). Knock, knock. – Who’s there? Smell mop. – Smell mop who? This joke is potty humor at it’s finest, don’t you think? Now that you’re done laughing, groaning, and…
Chocolate Candied Almonds (#HomemadeHolidays)
If there is one gift from the kitchen that everyone in my family LOVES it’s roasted or flavored nuts. Everyone has a different favorite nut: pistachio, cashews, and hazelnuts. However, the one nut everyone enjoys is the humble Almond. Previously, I have shared my recipes for Candied Cumin Almonds, savory Cumin Almonds, and Chai Spiced Almonds. Today I…
