Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We had snow here in NC for the first time in years. It was so much fun to have snow during the holiday! We had a very nice holiday although it was fairly low key. My work schedule was extraordinarily busy for most of the fall, so I was ready for a chance to slow down a bit. I caught up on magazines, cleaned up at home, tried some new recipes (I'll be sharing them), and just enjoyed resting. It was so nice!!

Santa was very good to me this year. I got some Herend and also a new Le Creuset braiser. I love my new braiser and have enjoyed using it.
Thomas and I gave my sister a pink Kitchenaid mixer and were so excited to give it to her! Okay, so maybe Thomas wasn't quite as excited about it as I was. Ha ha! I love my Kitchenaid and know she will enjoy using hers.


Have a great weekend!
