Peppermint Creme Brulee ~ The Perfect Christmas Dessert!

ByMariel

So, on our recent Disney Cruise (did you read about it?? If you ever want to go on one, check it out!) I became obsessed with Creme Brulee. I thought I wasn’t a fan of it. But oh, I was. I was. I just didn’t know it yet. I literally ordered Creme Brulee for dessert every single night!

When I got the assignment to do something ‘peppermint,’ I was having a hard time. I had already shared a favorite Peppermint White Chocolate Trifle, so… what to make, what to make. I called my mom, who is a cooking extraordinaire, and she suggested Peppermint Creme Brulee. It turned out awesome, if I do say so myself.

Snow Globe Ornament and DIY Ornament Roundup

ByJessica

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at my house! When you’re a crafter (especially a craft blogger), you have to get a head start. Don’t worry, I haven’t put up the tree or anything… yet. Anyway, I’m so excited to show you this snow globe Christmas ornament that I made. Doesn’t it just make you want to light a fire, snuggle up, and listen to Christmas carols?

I made it using a clear plastic ball ornament that I found at Hobby Lobby. Unlike a regular ball ornament, this one splits in half so you can fit bigger things inside of it. So many possibilities! The little house ornament and the fake snow came from Michael’s.

Read all about how to make this fun snow globe ornament and get 9 other ornament crafts from my blogger friends!

Mariel’s Picks 2012 ~ Stocking Stuffers for the Whole Family

ByMariel

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is shopping for stocking stuffers.  Is that weird?  Maybe it’s the challenge of it…finding something small AND cool?  It definitely narrows down the options.  But, I love a good challenge, so with that, may I introduce you to ‘Mariel’s Picks 2012 ~ Stocking Stuffers for the Whole Family‘!…

Nutella Hot Chocolate

We go through hot chocolate like mad, at our house.  Swiss Miss packets, tubs of Stephen’s Hot Cocoa, gone.  It’s on my shopping list every single week, in the winter time.  And, Utah is stinkin’ cold right now, without snow.  Boo.  But, we’re being promised a white Christmas.  Fingers crossed.  So, today was one of…
