Holiday Tablescape

Are you entertaining this holiday season?  Do you like to set a nice table?  I do and this year I found some plate from Home and Garden at Walmart that I will be using to do my Holiday Tablescape.

Chocolate Cranberry Meringue Dessert - #CIC

December 20th already... Are you ready for Christmas?  Have you thought what you will be serving for  dessert or maybe a Christmas coffee?  This recipe would work perfect for either.  It is light and just the perfect amount of sweetness to work after a big dinner or have with your coffee or tea.

This month we picked Cranberries and Cocoa for our Crazy Ingredient Challenge and I thought a dessert would be perfect to make for this month's challenge.

We are finally getting winter here in the UP... although I shouldn't complain as last year by this time we had 100 inches of snow and we have had only a few inches this year... but I am going to complain.. bitterly.  But one good thing is that with the storm coming it will be a good time to crawl under a blanket with a good cup of tea and check out the party... What party you ask....

Homemade Coffee Creamers

I love my coffee, and creamers make them even better.  Did you know that you can make your own creamers at home?  You can for half the costs and the ingredients are something that you can pronounce.

Thursday again, I think these weeks are going by faster and faster.  This week has been a busy week for me.  I helped host our Staff Christmas Party...  a great party with good food and I had fun decorating for this party.  We also had a Mitten Tree where everyone could donate mitts, scarves and hats to the children in need in our community.  How has your week been and if you are looking for more ideas for your holiday planning, you have come to the right place..

Decorate with Crochet Thread Trees

I came across a video to make these trees on Facebook and thought that they would be awesome to make for our Staff Christmas Party and also use in my own decorating.  They looked easy to do, which they were but not so easy to get off the cone forms.

I can't believe that it is December already... and as we don't have very much snow it doesn't seem real.  Where does the time go?  But even thought it is hard to think that it is already December, it is Thursday and that means it is time to party.....

Gingerbread Snowman Cookies #fillthecookiejar

Too cold to go outside to make snowmen, you can still make them in your cozy warm kitchen.  Make them with gingerbread and chocolate... and enjoy as many you want with a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate ~ your choice!

A Few of My Favorite Things

Christmas is coming and I decided I would like to share a few of my favorite things.  Some of these items I have but some I am placing on my wish list.  Maybe this list will give you some ideas to give (or put on your wish list).

Sweet Potatoes Fries and Jalapeno Salmon Sauce #CIC

I have to tell you a secret.  I really don't like Sweet Potatoes.  So when I found out that Sweet Potatoes and Jalapenos was picked for our Crazy Ingredient Challenge I knew I would be going outside of my box.

Bite size morsels of chocolate with a hint of lemon,covered with a lemony butter frosting that is drizzled with chocolate makes these brownies awesome.

Fall Tablescape

I found these awesome plates and bowls from Better Home & Garden in Walmart and knew that I had to get them for my Fall Tablescape this year.  My husband also gave me a tea set this fall that worked perfect with plates as the plates have a gold trim that worked great with the gold trim of the tea set.  This tablescape would be perfect for a coffee/tea party.

I missed last week's party as I was downstate learning all about "Trauma".  We had a great trip even though the car we drove got broken in... But we did get the last laugh as all there was in the car were pens, fridge magnets from the conference.. {{poor thieves for picking our car}}...We weren't hurt and the car window can be fixed so all is good.

Gingerbread Latte

We have had a wonderful fall here in the UP this year.  Ok, so we did have a few days that it was mighty cold and yes we did even have some snow and ice already.... but for the most part we have had a beautiful fall.  Gingerbread is one of the spice that make me think of fall and winter and it is perfect in your coffee.
