Chocolate Espresso Snowcap Cookies

Over the holidays, I go overboard with baking.  It's out of control. I always try out a couple of recipes each year in hopes of finding new, favorite cookies. This year, I tried a recipe from Martha Stewart. I absolutely loved how these cookies turned out and they were a huge hit at the holiday party.

Here are the cookies all bundled up...

An Obsession

So I'm sure it's not surprising that I suffer from an addiction that many struggle with... It's like a drug for me and I can't seem to get enough. There are so many different brands, styles, colors, hardware. It's just too much for me to take. Hopefully, posting some of these on my blog will help me quench my insatiable appetite.

Opposite Day

My boyfriend will be the first to admit that I'm a complex being full of contradictions. I'll drive in the car listening to NPR, but then snuggle on the couch watching Housewives. What can I say?

 I find that this contradictory nature extends into my personal style as well.

Gorgeous southwestern ikat bowls versus a stunning Ulrica Hydman-Valien bowl.  

Start with a bang

At the start of each year, I think it's of the upmost importance to begin the year with a great outift, a bottle of champagne and a list of goals that you'd like to achieve in the coming year.

Don't Forget!

Don't forget to leave some cookies and milk for Santa tonight. He has tons of work to do tonight and will need some sustenance. Wishing you an amazing Christmas with lots of love and happiness...

Sweet Bundles

During the holidays, I always try to show love to the people most important to me. In order to avoid spending my entire life savings, I try to make special treats for those people that I want to send a little love.
