Yet another thing that’s deceptively simple to whip up on your own: Homemade cranberry sauce.

The Wall
Monday, November 22, 2010 in Decorating, Home
Here’s a confession: For a long time, I’ve been deathly afraid to tune in to Hoarders. The truth is, I feared I’d see too much of myself. See, I’ve never been the most… meticulous.

The Turkey Cupcakes Disaster
Friday, November 12, 2010 in Dessert, Food, Holidays
Ah, intentions. Such sweet, innocent things they can be. My good friend Laurie and I, along with her cute kiddos Cassidy and Isabel, set out to make turkey cupcakes yesterday. My idea, of course – I’m dorky like that. Not cupcakes made with turkey, mind you. Chocolate cupcakes frosted and decorated to look like turkeys. [...]

We’ve made it to day 10 of pure apple mayhem, a.k.a. Applepalooza! at The Hazel Bloom. Okay, okay, “pure apple mayhem” is a bit of an exaggeration.
