The results are in, and Eric and I have held on to our title, but just barely! This is definitely the closest gingerbread contest yet. There was no telling who was going to win until the very end! Read more
This year’s gingerbread contest took the competition to a whole new level! As last year’s winners, Eric and I got to choose this year’s theme. We chose “A Science Fiction Christmas” and the results were truly out of this world! Below are the three entries with detailed photos. We need you to help us determine the winner by viewing the entries and then voting for your favorite at the end. We’d also love it if you’d share in the comments why it was your favorite. Voting will be open until December 26, 2011 at 6pm Pacific time. Thanks so much!

If you haven’t already heard the awesome news, let me be the one to get you all excited. BlogHer Food ’12 is going to be in SEATTLE!!!! I’m beyond thrilled for many reasons. First of all, I’m looking forward to all my blogging friends coming to my area. Seattle is a great food town and I know that all the food bloggers will have lots to check out. Secondly, because I don’t have to fly to the conference, this is the first one that my wonderful husband is going to attend with me. That means he gets to meet all the bloggers I’m always talking about! But third, and perhaps most exciting of all, I’m on the advisory board that helps put together the sessions! Read more
November was an insane month, and a big part of that was my decision to participate in my very first NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month. I’ve had so many people tell me I should write a cookbook, and I plan to, but I’ve always wanted to write a fun and frivolous murder mystery and decided this was the event to give me the kick in the pants. I’m happy to say that I’m now over 50,000 words into my novel and though I have more to go, I’ll no longer be trying to get thousands of words a day to meet a deadline. That means I’ll be back to posting more regularly! December is going to be full of affordable edible gifts, holiday dinner dishes and seasonal options. See you Monday!
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you’re all having a wonderful time of friendship, family, food and fun today. I don’t know if any of you are brave (or crazy) enough to make the mad dash to Black Friday sales, but I much prefer the online deals. Whether you’re a foodie, a wanna-be foodie, or have a foodie in your life, here are some of my favorite Black Friday deals for the gourmand in everyone.
