Why hello there, Internet people!
Today I’m crushing on a whole horde of incredible recipes & food photos – as well as some fantastic kitchen gadgets/gifts for loved ones who dig cooking & baking. So many terrific bloggers are putting together holiday gift guides and sharing festive recipes I’m eager to pass whatever viewing traffic I can over there way – go spread the love!
Also, expect a few festive pictures from my recent visit to The Magic Kingdom – I gushed a little over the nostalgia and the decorations…
Love the seasonal fruit garland… pears and apples and citrus!
Speaking of citrus, can we agree that these would be a phenomenal Christmas breakfast? Pistachio, orange, and dark chocolate cinnamon rolls from Joy the Baker. Like…woah.
And maybe for dessert – chocolate hazelnut crepe cake with orange frangelico syrup from the Baker Chick. Festive decadence at its chocolaty finest.
One of my more recent food blog discoveries, Naturally Ella, never ceases to amaze me – this three grain maple granola looks absolutely fabulous! My morning yogurt could use a makeover – might need to make this stuff soon.
Again with the breakfast-type foods – A Sweet Spoonful’s spiced steel cut oats porridge with cranberry-ginger sauce. Yum! This sort of meal would be fitting for a day like today – Florida finally hit the 40 degree mark! (*Cough* – About time!)
Cooler weather always makes me yearn for comfort food – like grilled cheese. How about this dijon brussels sprout grilled cheese from A Cozy Kitchen? I’m game.
Unfortunately, I’m not certain this cooler weather will last…at the very least I can guarantee another over 75 degree day prior to the upcoming solstice (boo :P). On the bright side I could possibly wet my whistle with a sip of this bonkers awesome black cherry & thyme lemonade from my fellow crazy-flavor lover, Allie, of The Apothecary Bee. By the way, if you’re looking to get crafty this Christmas, you should definitely click around her site – I love the sparkly pine-cone garland, I think that’s my favorite one. :)
I have to share how stoked I am about the upcoming Chronicles of Alexander Hawthorne – Episode 3: The Surface is in production y’all! I can’t wait. Seriously.
Ignite your anticipation by watching this haunting teaser.
This doodle comes a little early, but the mini-me and I wanted to get festive. :) Happy and Merry Tuesday!
