Manageability – Cupcakes are always easy. If you’re anything like me, which I know you are, you don’t drink a lot of champagne except for a few specific times. Brunch, New Years, wedding anniversaries, winning a NASCAR race, or at the occasional Christening of a brand new boat. Well add today to the list, putContinue reading “The First Year’s Easy Champagne Cupcakes”

Hayley Solano’s Bookmarks
Manageability – Real quick and easy. If you’re reading this, then you can read. Good for you. And that means you can read books. And most people can’t read a whole book in one sitting (I’m a dork, so I sometimes do). So if you want to take a break, how in God’s name areContinue reading “Hayley Solano’s Bookmarks”
Half Baked Harvest’s Overnight Cinnamon Roll Bread with Chai Frosting
Manageability – Pretty simple, if you’ve ever made cinnamon rolls. Hangover Sundays are never fun. A nasty headache with plenty of laying on the couch and binging some garbage on TV while you drift in and out of naps. Excederin helps, as does coconut water. But you know what really helps? Half Baked Harvest’s OvernightContinue reading “Half Baked Harvest’s Overnight Cinnamon Roll Bread with Chai Frosting”
Kevin is Cooking’s Individual Beef Wellingtons
Manageability – Pretty complicated, but not the worst. I will never, until the day I die, skip a chance to make and eat a delicious steak. God created cows and woman said “well that will be my food now” and never looked back. So I leapt at the chance to make Kevin is Cooking’s IndividualContinue reading “Kevin is Cooking’s Individual Beef Wellingtons”
The Kitchen is My Playground’s Mini Gingerbread Cookie Bites
Manageability – Easy, but takes an hour. The gingerbread man dates back to the 15th Century court of Elizabeth I in England, with the first recorded… Oh wait, that’s not right. Nevermind. That’s how other recipe websites start. Gingerbread is old as dirt. That’s all you need to know. But these cute little gingerbread menContinue reading “The Kitchen is My Playground’s Mini Gingerbread Cookie Bites”
Half Baked Harvest’s Holly Jolly Santa Cookies
Manageability – Not bad for a complicated-looking cookie. If you’ve sat down and watched a Lifetime movie this holiday season (and I know you have – admit it), you’ll no doubt be aware that Christmas requires 2 things: the magical appearance of Santa, and baking cookies with the handsome love interest. Well guess what, youContinue reading “Half Baked Harvest’s Holly Jolly Santa Cookies”
Hot Chocolate Ornaments
Manageability – Low-key difficult. I know it’s only three days before Christmas, but you can ALWAYS use more ornaments for that tree. Real or fake, there’s room and you know it. Might I suggest these adorable hot chocolate ornaments? They’re really cute, and perfect for decoration, because I’m not sure how practical they are ifContinue reading “Hot Chocolate Ornaments”
Hot Chocolate Board
Manageability – Honestly nothing at all. I think it’s pretty clear what we’re looking at here: an adorable serving board with all the necessary accoutrement for a toasty and sweet hot chocolate for any of your guests. We’re talking about all the good stuff, kids. Mini gingerbread men, candy canes, caramel cubes, cinnamon sticks, andContinue reading “Hot Chocolate Board”
The Kitchen is My Playground’s Gingerbread White Russians
Manageability – Real easy, real good. A typical white Russian only has three ingredients: Kahlua, vodka, cream. And yeah, that’s fine if you’re the Dude. But just add a few holiday spices, change the vodka to vanilla, top with a tiny gingerbread man, and friend you have got a new holiday classic in the formContinue reading “The Kitchen is My Playground’s Gingerbread White Russians”
Lia Griffith’s Adorable Animal Gift Wrap
Manageability – Would have been easier with a printer. I know you’re looking for something to tuck under the tree that isn’t just another lame gift bag, or a cardboard box wrapped in newspaper. Even most wrapping paper is boring nowadays. Why does it have to be so repetitive? How about one long picture throughoutContinue reading “Lia Griffith’s Adorable Animal Gift Wrap”
