Looks like my cousin Kim made her Mom’s special JELL-O recipe over the weekend… one we both grew up on & enjoyed for years. A “retro” concoction of lime JELL-O, pineapple, cream cheese, Cool-Whip & marshmallows! Looks especially yummy when served in some handmade pottery bowls. As we all know… homemade food always tastes better in handmade pottery!

Looks like it’s a yummy “Sundae-Sunday” up in Stevens Point. The ice cream looks amazing, the hot fudge looks delicious & the bowl doesn’t look too shabby either! Thanks for sharing Matthew!

Looks like someone is doing better on their “healthy” resolutions than I am?! Still not a big fan of brussel sprouts… but these are looking a little tastier than normal… must be the bowl?!!! Just sayin’… thanks for sharing Kristy!!!

So typically I’m the “dessert guy” at my family holiday gatherings. But this year my sister Jen mixed it up and I became the “two side dish” guy. New culinary terrain for me to tackle. As our family meals are frequently a bit “beige”… I decided to go with a colorful & loaded kale salad! Full of yumminess like grilled chicken, roasted sweet potatoes & brussel sprouts, wild rice, apples, goat cheese & nuts!

Looks like it went over well with my family… healthy & beautiful in a handmade pottery bowl!!!

Prepping in the kitchen for our Christmas meal… thinking these will go into a nice salad?! And then maybe back into the same serving bowl when it’s ready to go?! I mean, we all know that homemade food tastes even better in handmade pottery!

Looks like Kristy is enjoying a little Sundae Sunday in a cute little purple bowl. Cute, yes…but my question is “why so small?” That just looks like a “starter-sundae” to me… MORE IS MORE!

Some colorful bowls to brighten your holidays! Wheelthrown, stamped with my own handmade stamps & glazed! Always food-safe, microwave-safe & dishwasher-safe! The big POP-UP HOLIDAY SALE starts in just one hour ONLY on my Facebook page! Set a timer!

Spent the day with a bunch of great kids at Vernon Hills High School today… making a bunch of bowls, chatting about pottery & trying to inspire them to play with their clay more. After I threw two bags of clay… two dozen bowls… we talked some more and then started altering rims & decorating bowls. Great fun with a good number of “wow” moments… until the school bell rang & we ran out of time!!! Luckily, all of my bowls are staying there so that the students get to finish decorating, trimming & glazing them… and keep their new bowls!!!

With the time-change today, it is already dark outside… before 5:00pm!!! Not liking that… but I will enjoy a little more sunrise time in the morning. Yet since it is dark, damp & chilly outside… looks like Beckie has a great solution with warm & cozy soup!!! Thanks for sharing Beckie!

Just doing a little stamping tonight on a couple demo bowls from last night’s pottery class. We discussed making “larger” bowls… and then we did!!! Sure, I could select them plain… HA!!!
