Mini Chocolate Chip Peppermint Bark Cookie Cups

December 9, 2013 by Melissa

Fa-la-la-la-la... This year, we decided to get a Christmas wreath. I LOVE Christmas with a passion, so I couldn't NOT get something to decorate. So, even though we didn't splurge for the tree, we still have something made from a tree and it's decorated with all of our cute kitchen ornaments (yeah, you should've guessed that I'd have kitchen-themed ornaments).  I also spent our "ice day" … [Read more...]

Fabulously Fit Friday 47

December 6, 2013 by Melissa

Well we all survived Thanksgiving week. And Christmas is just a few more weeks away. How crazy is that?! It's officially Cookie Season. Yes, that's a thing. In my book.

Pecan Crunch Caramel Apples

December 4, 2013 by Melissa

Oops, I did it again... My mommy made me do it! I told you she was a terrible influence. I walk into the kitchen, still enjoying my Thanksgiving vacation, and a package of Caramel Apple Wraps was sitting on the counter. A not-so-subtle hint.  I can take a hint. Doesn't take much more to have me pulling out the apples and melting up some chocolate... And toasting … [Read more...]

My Thanksgiving Contributions (and giveaway winner)
