Pin of the day

I couldn't just decide on 1 pin today. So, there are 2! 

Love these fabrics.  

I want to make something like this.

Etsy find!

I was just casually browsing Pinterest, like I do basically every single night, and I ran across the cutest Etsy shop! It's called Inedible Jewelry. They have some of the cutest necklaces, earrings, rings, and cufflinks that I have ever seen. These would be great Christmas gifts for any foodie!

Here are some of my faves

snowcone earrings

caramel apple earrings

pumpkin pie necklace

pecan pie earrings

gumball necklace

peppermint cupcake necklace

Everyone should check them out! They also have a Facebook. 

christmas presents

Friday my sister, Fletcher and I set out to get some Christmas shopping done. Little did we know that we would be out shopping for 12 hours straight! The upside is we all got 99% of our shopping done. I have 1 present left to get, Mendy has 1 or 2 left and Fletcher is done (of course, because I did most of it he was just along to drive us around.) It was a lot of fun! We went to 2 different malls, target, barnes & noble and a few other local places. Here's what we came back with...

It was quite a haul.

Then we ended up wrapping presents for 2 hours after we got home! So, we didn't get to bed until around 3 a.m. that night but it was all worth it. My tree looks happy with lots of pretty presents under it.

hot chocolate

I just made hot chocolate...and burned my tongue. Not a good combination. I guess I got a little too excited about it and I couldn't wait for it to cool off. Sad day...but I do know that this is the best hot chocolate that the hubs and I have tried so far! I got the recipe from Joy the Baker. Every recipe that I've tried of hers is amazing! She is the best!

Delicious Hot Chocolate
from Joy the Baker

makes one large or two small portions
1 1/2 cups milk (any fat content you fancy)
3 heaping tablespoon bittersweet chocolate chips
2 heaping tablespoons white chocolate chips

In a small saucepan, gently heat milk over low heat.  Whisk often so the milk doesn’t burn.
While the milk is heating, bring a medium saucepan with two inches of water to a boil.  Place a heat-proof bowl with chocolate pieces over the simmering water.  Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the simmering water.  You’re creating a double boiler.  Cool, right?  Stir the chocolate pieces until melted.

Add the melted chocolate to the hot milk.  Whisk together until completely blended and super delicious looking.  Pour into mugs and top with marshmallows or slightly sweetened whipped cream.

Be careful and don't burn your tongue like I did. :)
Stay warm!!

Cake Mix Cookies

 Does this look like mochi to anyone else?

I decided to finally make some cake mix cookies. I have eaten them many times and I have always loved them I've just never made any on my own. They are so easy to make and so yummy.

Cake Mix Cookies


1 box chocolate cake mix (any flavor will work)
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Mix all ingredients together and beat well until combined. Roll into balls and roll in powdered sugar before placing on lightly greased cookie sheet. You can also dip the tops in sprinkles if you are making vanilla cookies or roll them in powdered sugar also.

Bake at 350 degrees for 11-12 minutes.

Viola wonderful and easy cookies!
