New Years is a tough holiday to decorate for in my humble opinion. But I’m absolutely loving this sweet Happy New Year bunting from hello handmade. Purchase the template and make one yourself – you still have time!
Did you get everything you wished for this year? What was your best gift?
My favorites…
• a cushy new down comforter
• a little k necklace (in silver)
• money for my Fence Fund
• I Listen to Bands that Don’t Even Exist Yet poster
• The Big-Ass Book of Crafts
• Miss Sixty black pea coat with red detailing

You can’t go wrong with almond flavoring. You just can’t. Especially when it contains alcohol like this Amaretto Cake with Raspberry Filling.

I got to work at 7:30 and had to spend only two hours working off someone else’s computer before my beloved MacBook showed up via FedEx (and sporting a new screen and logic board)! Seriously the best Monday of the year.
Yet I still have mixed feelings because…
… I didn’t get to share my last few days of Gift Lists
… I didn’t get to wish you all a timely Merry Christmas
… I didn’t get to get any work done while in PA
But at the same time…
… my hard drive arrived back to me intact
… I had a lighter carry-on on my 6:00 am flight back yesterday
… belated Merry Christmas wishes are nice none the less
I hope you and yours had a lovely little holiday. I’ll be sharing more about mine a little later on.

I can hardly resist these Strativarius sugar tablets! First, they’re sugar which I have a hard time saying no to. Second, look at those colors! Third, I love the idea of “break off as much as you want.”

Risottos are awesome. It’s that simple. And this Butternut Squash version has so much potential!

1. good karmal
From our very first batch, we believed that it was not enough to create delicious, buttery caramels to delight the senses — we wanted to spark imaginations and inspire our customers and ourselves to, as Mahatma Gandhi said, “be the change we wish to see in the world.” So we wrapped each handcrafted caramel with words of wisdom, and sent them out into the world.
2. TSP spices
Our spices are organic, always fresh, great tasting and very, very convenient.
3. belgian chocolate-covered oreos
Our gorgeous glass canister is filled with decadent chocolate-covered Oreos®, made with an exclusive blend of Belgian chocolate. Each cookie is individually wrapped for freshness in stunning autumn-colored foils. Whether displayed on the counter, sideboard or dinner table, they make for a visual feast and delicious treat.
4. Chalmers ganache
Spoon, melt, spread, or dip it, it’s up to you. This thick, rich chocolate ganache will satisfy even the most demanding and knowledgeable chocolate connoisseur.
5. bee raw 9 varietal honey flight
Every honey is as unique as its floral source, and can be compared to wine, tea and coffee in its variety and complexity. A detailed description of each flavor and origin is enclosed with your gift.
6. Food & Wine magazine subscription
7. O olive oil
O OLIVE OIL is the original maker of specialty organic citrus-crushed olive oils since 1995 and premium barrel-aged wine vinegars since 1997.

9. theo chocolate
We follow our passion for excellence to bring you chocolate that will delight your palate, ignite your imagination and inspire you to think and act sustainably!
In the original recipe post for Honey Drizzled Squash Cake, Jules used Blue Ballet squash. But what can i say, I’m a fan of butternut squash, so I’d definitely be substituting it instead. (Besides, it’s usually the easiest to get a hold of!)
