One of my favorite teas is Chai.. I am a big fan of all the spices that make up a good chai ~ cinnamon, nutmeg, anise, cardamom and a little peppercorn. It smells so wonderful as it is brewing and I have had many people ask me what I am drinking.

Cookbook Club Review ~The Pioneer Woman Cooks- A Year of Holidays
I have joined a group of great bloggers that review cookbooks each month. This month we are reviewing Pioneer Woman Cooks- A Year of Holidays. I am sure I am the only person that has never even looked at one of her recipes. Of course I know who she is but I have never really looked at any of her recipes.

Fill the Cookie Jar with PB & J Sandwich Cookies
Remind me again why I would think making rolled cookies where such a good idea? I hate making rolled cookies, I am not good at doing them, I don't have the patience to make them... Ok, so that is the reason I don't make them... I asked remind me why I thought it was a good idea?

I am so excited to tell you about a new company that I have had the opportunity to learn about. The company is called Gourmet Warehouse and I was given products to try and review. First before I get into the products and what I have made with them, I have to thank a good friend of mine, Cynthia from Feeding Big for letting me know about this company.

Foodie Friends Friday {Linky Party}
I am a little late getting my party up and running this week, as I am still running a little behind after having company last week... I need to catch up on some of my missed sleep between working (the dreaded work, things would be so much better if we didn't have to go to work to afford to live right).

Iced Mocha Latte Macchiato
Did you know that Macchiato means marked or stained in Italian? I didn't until I looked it up. First I was thinking the mark was chocolate or caramel marking on the top of the frothed milk. Then when I was reading more it is the stained from the espresso or from the steamed milk

This past week has been a busy week for me and my poor blog has been neglected.
