death by chocolate
| yesterday, (saturday), my sweet family took me to our favorite local coffee shop for lunch. i tried a new warm drink, death by chocolate……ooooh yaaaaaa…….so good. (i’ve included a picture, although i took it with my cell phone, so it’s not the best.) i also bought a pound of my favorite holiday coffee beans, jack frost java. (which i have to admit, i’ve already had a few cups today…..may need to buy more before the end of the holiday season.)
**death by chocolate: a Ghiradelli dark chocolate mocha topped with whipped cream and shaved dark chocolate. |

warm apple crisp
| i don’t know what it is, but every year when the cold weather blows in, it blows me right into the kitchen. something about baking up some warm sweets on a cold afternoon…i just love it. my friend, lisa, gave me this beautiful dish last week. (thanks lisa!!!!) it is so pretty and was just shouting for something sweet to be baked in it! so, of course, i did.
i used an old favorite recipe for microwave apple crisp, increasing it slightly because the dish is so deep. in the mood for some warm tasty sweets? put on the coffee pot and try this out. it will warm your insides for sure!!! |

30 Days of Thanksgiving
categories: i recommend, Uncategorized
 |
| i read about the “30 Days of Thanksgiving” on this blog and she directed her readers over to another blog. Here’s how it works…from October 24 thru November 22, each day you send a note (via snailmail or email) to someone that you are thankful for. Tell them you are thankful for them, what you love about them, what makes them special, why you are grateful that they are in your life. (Something that we should take more time to do throughout the year.) Start now by making a list of 30 people so that you will be ready on the 24th!
give it a try! leave me a comment if you decide to do it! “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” 1 Chronicles 16:34 |
