Showing love to people around us (and ourselves!) through food, especially anything sweet and homemade, is common practice. A special homemade birthday cake or traditional…

What I love about shopping at Market Street is that they are invested in the communities that they are located in.  They like to know…

Like many of yours, our family is a big fan of Disney.  Our family vacations have revolved around their parks and the Disney Cruise Line for the last 21 years, starting with our honeymoon.  So it was with great excitement when I learned that I get to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration next month!  Disney Parks & MomSelect sent me a whole box of goodies to get my party started and I know the moms and kids who come are going to have a great morning.

Everyone’s favorite chocolate sandwich cookies are a part of this easy and affordable homemade fudge treat.

If I’m going to be honest one of the things I like best about the holidays is the food, especially pie.  Pecan Pie, Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie…I want..  All. The. Pies.  Here comes a moment of truth though..I’m not so good at making pies myself.  I’ve tried.  Numerous times.  The crust is never as flaky as I think I should be.  The filling never as dense or as flavorful.  The perfect pie from scratch, I’m of the opinion that it will take me years to master that, and I want the perfect pie…NOW!  Plus this year with our daughter being away at college, I don’t want to be spending all my time in the kitchen baking – I want to spend it with her while she’s home for break!

Since 1975, the Best of Bridge “Ladies,” as their children have named them, have been developing recipes that are easy to understand, written with a sense of humor and guaranteed to work.  Not surprisingly, given their motto – “simple recipes with gourmet results” – over the course of four decades, they have cooked up countless treats that are perfect for sharing with family and friends when it’s time for a celebration.

Decadent treats and wine.  There isn’t much else I need to make a party festive 🙂  And while I like to entertain and provide great desserts and wine offerings to my guests, I’m neither a chef nor made of money.  So this holiday season I welcomed the gift of some dessert and wine pairings from Pacific Rim Riesling wines and Sara Lee desserts.  They are making holiday entertaining easy and fun!
