Enjoying the heat of the oven yesterday as I baked a batch of brownies to share with friends!
I figured a dinner party with friends can always use some homemade brownies…
and the hostess “might just” get to keep the bowl too!!!

Tonight was a “double-whammy” in my THROWDOWN class. A two-part challenge…
and two packs of OREOs!!! A perfect pairing for our pottery class!


It’s more than a little chilly here in Chicago. And it looks like Kim is working on something warm & yummy in her kitchen. Plenty of squash & pottery for everyone!!!


Tonight’s pottery class had lots of treats!!! Including Sara’s homemade chocolate chip blondies… yum!!! But also these great OREOs!
I mean, what’s better than an OREO???… a FUDGE-COVERED OREO!!! Even cuter?… one of my students brought them… sent to class by her adorable Mom!!! So thank you Taylor’s Mom for sending us treats. We loved them!!!

The new session of pottery classes has begun… and so have the class treats!!! And sure, Christmas might have past, but we can still celebrate with green & red OREOs!!! Which we all enjoyed tonight!!!

Enjoying some leftover Christmas candy today! Minty fun while trying to pack away my Christmas decorations. Good thing they melt in your mouth, not in your hands!


And while I appreciate plenty of beverage choices… I think they’ve gone too far this time!!!


Christmas may be over…
but that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate a “minty Saturday,” right???
Trying to clean & pack up some of the Holiday Home Show stuff.
But always looking for a little sweet pick-me-up treat while cleaning!!!

Looks like there was some yummy Christmas morning brunch happening down in central Illinois yesterday. Yummy monkey bread with fruit & coffee… all in some fun holiday pottery!!! Thanks for sharing your morning moments with us Allyn!


Just a little something-something for our family Christmas get-together.
A little chocolate, a few cherries & a lot of cheesecake!
Homemade food always tastes better on handmade pottery!
Merry Christmas everyone… hope you’re enjoying your festivities today!
