Valentine Treats To Savor With Tea

By Chris Ann on February 8, 2012 Leave a Comment

Taking time to savor the moment with a pot or cup of tea has always been something I have enjoyed in my day. Over the years, I have enjoyed the preparation of putting out a proper cup of tea for friends, with fancy favorite dishes and small bites. Sometimes I just pop a mug, quick in the microwave to make a single cup to enjoy by myself. My family has learned I rarely make something warm to drink without a nibble on the side. They have also learned to enjoy the nurturing moments of a warm cup and a moment to chat. The … [Read more...]

Fancy Friday Halloween Party

Be on the look out for "Fierce Bunnies". You never know where they might be lurking. Every year we host a pre-trick-or-treating Halloween party. There will be some critters and fierce bunnies lurking around our Teen Halloween Party - again this year again. My plan for this party every year, is to make it easy, relaxed, and flexible enough to add more guests as extra people stop in. I have to have free enough time to be able to add the last bit of costume tweaking. I do the same meal every year. Walkin' Tacos - or … [Read more...]

I was a little freaked, but I couldn't leave these on my table.

Velvet Pumpkin Center Piece

By Kristin on November 18, 2010 4 Comments

Chris Ann had seen these beauties in real life. She's the one who discovered them and she even brought a few home. I had pumpkin envy. But, to be honest, it didn't last for long! I ordered my own set. I went a little "non-traditional" to match my newly (in process of) remodeled dining room. As some of you know, we have been in the midst of a major renovation after our flood.

Cinnamon Bread Challenge!

By Kristin on August 11, 2009 10 Comments

A couple of months ago, as I was visiting Honey and Jam's blog, my eyes fell on a Cinnamon Swirl Bread recipe and it caused me to pause...to salivate...to dream and plan ('cause sometimes it take a bit of planning to make bread with my crazy schedule). Yes, it took me a couple of months to slide it in, but boy am I (and my family!!) glad I did! If you've never attempted to make a loaf of homemade cinnamon bread, I encourage you to try! Making bread sounds daunting to many, but once you get the hang of it, it really is easy … [Read more...]
