Thanks for stopping by!
I'm not much of a baker... but my roommates are which means I get to taste many of the things they bake!
ReplyDeleteMy roommate made this hot chocolate a little while ago and it is so delish! I dont like coffee, so it's nice to have a warm drink this time of year that is so yummy!

This week I visited 2 great blogs:
ReplyDeleteFood Floozie: Umm... can I just say that her chocolate almond bread looks absolutely DELISH? Great blog and I am now following!
Northwest Betty: Loved her Christmas tree photos and am envious that she has a real tree. Following her as well!
Here's to a fabulous Monday!
Hello everyone!
ReplyDeleteI don't really bake much. So no recipe from me! But during the holidays, I love drinking eggnog the most~~
Today I visited I Dream Loudly. I love her simple layout and the style in which she writes. It's engaging and fun to read. Her latest post talks about how much she loved the latest Narnia movie. Definitely influenced me to finally go watch it!
I also went by Her Own Eden, which is an amazing blog. Also very engaging writing. I loved her post about wine because I've recently started drinking it.
Happy Monday!
I checked out Desperately Seeking Starbucks and Chasing the Extraordinary. I loved them! Looking forward to following them. This was a good Mingle Monday week. ;)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the two blogs I visited this week:
ReplyDeleteFirst I went to Her Own Eden, and I spent a lot of time reading through all her wonderful posts! I loved her bottle of wine post-it really melted my heart!
Then I hopped over to Northwest Betty, and she had some really fun posts- I especially LOVED the little drawer with love notes and stories that she and her husband found at one of their favorite bars!
My favorite holiday treats are pizelles- an Italian cookie. It requires a special cooking iron, but a lot of places sell them now!
http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/pizzelles-iii/Detail.aspx
Went to visit our lovely teenage blogger and feel in love with her clean, lovely blog. It has a nice feel and an openness that I adore.
ReplyDeleteThe I went to Chasing the Extraordinary and fell head over heels in love with her nook collection. Perfect!
I adore mulled wine during the holidays.

Today I stopped by Create Meaning and Northwest Betty!
ReplyDeleteCreate Meaning is really cute and girlie fun! Her post about playing video games with her boyfriend is making me re-think my stance on anti-video games!
Northwest Betty had a post about her Christmas tree that really makes me want to go cut my own down! Her husband and her are so cute!
Happy Mondays!

http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/chewy-chocolate-gingerbread-cookies
My favorite holiday cookies ever are Chocolate Crinkles!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.joyofbaking.com/ChocolateCrinkles.html
You MUST try them!
I went to Desperately Seeking Starbucks and she's very witty - go check her out!
I also went to AOG Daily and she has such a pretty Christmas tree!
Today I stopped by Food Floozie first-- hilarious name and amazing looking baked goods! Yum... baking...
ReplyDeleteThe second I went to was The Apple Doesn't Fall Far... she had a very busy and holiday-themed weekend. Looks like a great time and she has an entertaining blog!
I don't think I could think of a favorite, but I just baked some homemade chocolate chip cookies (ala Joy of Cooking cookbook) and they were amazing.
I visited Northwest Betty this week. I really loved her story about the drawer of notes and some other things I found by clicking around. A fun blog:)
ReplyDeleteNext I visited Jessica Hester Photography. I loved her snow pictures, especially considering a dusting shuts things down around here. Also, a really fun blog:)
My favorite holiday treat is buckeye balls (those little chocolate-peanut butter balls). But then again, I love anything chocolate peanut butter and any excuse to eat it
This week I visited:
ReplyDeleteA Little Bit of Everything - I love Jessica's fresh take on everything and will enjoy reading about her wedding planning
Hair by Adrian - Her Christmas list is SO right up my ally and I love all of her hair posts and photos
I think I have a new favorite holiday treat! I made this cake at Thanksgiving, and I think it will appear again at Christmas. So yummy!

I also really like homemade Chex mix with Christmas peanut M&M's.
I am followers of Food Floozie and VA Beach House wife. LOVE them both!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my favorite apple pie recipe http://hairbyadrian.wordpress.com/2010/11/17/apple-pie-a-la-grandma-ople/
ReplyDeleteI checked out Northwest Betty and Chasing the Extraordinary. Betty posted a fabulous looking pumpkin ginger loaf which I can't wait to try. Michaela at Chasing posted recently about her affinity for lists, which I totally get! I also feel lost without a plan or direction.
Love Mingle Monday!
