MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIENDS ! My Pinterest Making Daughter is at it Again. And this time she made the Mother of all Cookies CHEWY CHAI SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES Oh.....My.....Word. We (Ok actually SHE) has done a lot of baking, but it was THESE cookies that I just knew I had to share with you guys.  As the original blogger of these cookies wrote "The cookies are a downright dream.  They are spicy and cinnamony and really, a high class snickerdoodle.  A classy snickerdoodle.  Definitely not a trashy snickerdoodle" Bwahahahah!  Yes these are the classy kind of snickerdoodles, I'd never post a trashy one - my promise to you, my wonderful readers. It's so hard to take a picture of the amazing texture the cookies had but just believe me, they were perfect :-) My daughter is a "Follow the Rules" kind of gal.  When it says use cardamom, you better believe she was going to use cardamom, not the pumpkin pie spice I was trying to get h...

Hey Friends! Can you believe Christmas is NEXT WEEK ! Wowzers :-) It finally started snowing over here in Idaho. It's very pretty to see white everywhere. It's also that time of year where we see FOOD everywhere - ha!  Lots of Christmas parties! I thought it would be fun to have a list of really EASY but TASTY Christmas appetizer ideas that you can whip up for your next get together. This one is my favorite "go to" appetizer .  Simply use cream cheese with a pepper jelly (strawberry jalapeno is my favorite)  Pair it up with crackers, pita chips or dipping bread for a great tasting appetizer.  Honestly, people will LOVE this - it's always eaten right away whenever I bring this to a party. Cream Cheese and Pepper Jelly This appetizer is along the same lines of the one above but I love how festive it looks.   Pinecone Cheese Spread It's made from cream cheese, Dijon mustard and green chilies mixed together.  When you add the...

Hey Friends! There are a few things I've run across lately that I really want to try. For instance, this Heart Cocoa "Marshmallow" :-)  They say just to freeze whip cream and then cut out in heart shapes with cookie cutters. It's so simple and would really be fun. (OK, and pretty...I might need to put on the mittens too just to achieve the whole feeling) :-) source I also love this cute idea of using mini candy canes for food or name holders. I think I could make this :-) source Moving on to home decor...... If I can make my home look this cute decorated with paper snowflakes I'm going to do it!  ha! If you are brave, you can attempt to make the snowflakes yourself or just buy them off Amazon.  They aren't that much. Luna Bazaar Paper Snowflakes The snowflakes come in all sorts of colors. You'll probably have to pin this and save this idea for next year but OH MY GOODNESS - people are so resour...

Hey Friends! I have a new love for pine cones. Yep, after seeing these beautiful nature-inspired Christmas ornament crafts, I wanted to go out and collect every pine cone within a 5-mile radius of my house-ha! There is something so beautiful about bringing a little bit of nature into your Christmas decorating. And the best part? You can make these ornaments yourself with a few simple supplies, or skip the crafting and buy the look. Of course, if you don't happen to have a forest full of pine cones nearby, you can just buy pinecones off Amazon 😉 and little jingle bells  too.   Leave it to Martha Martha Martha :-) These pretty much just consist of pine cones, pipe cleaners and felt!
