Pillsbury Dough Boy

Posted in Referrals, tagged , on November 24, 2010| Leave a Comment »

My Wednesday Shout-Out this week is going to Pillsbury’s website. You can find it right here.

I really like this site beyond the obvious reason that the cute little Pillsbury Dough Boy hangs here. How can you not like him? He’s doughy and sweet and looks like he has been known to indulge in some good food on more than a passing occasion. That last part is where I really feel a kinship to him.

Anyhooooo, I have found a number of great recipes on their website, especially at the last minute when I was searching for a new appetizer recipe.  I’ve yet to find a recipe that had ingredients I couldn’t find or so many steps that it looked impossible to complete. It is simple, easy to follow cooking and ideas – and that is what I truly like about it.

So if you are searching for something different to make, pop on over to their website at www.pillsbury.com and check it out! And wave to the Dough Boy for me.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gooseberry Patch

Posted in Referrals, tagged , on November 10, 2010| Leave a Comment »

My Wednesday Shout-out this week goes to Gooseberry Patch.

If you’ve never seen one of their catalogs, drooled through a cookbook or checked out their offerings online – do it! You are really missing out!

Their catalog has fun things for your home, for the aspiring cook, and great items for gift giving. They are one of the few places on the planet I can find the Aebelskiver mix I like.

Don’t even get me started on their cookbooks. They are fantastic, fun and full of great recipes, entertaining ideas and so much more. I am currently working my way through the “Flavors of Fall” cookbook. I can’t even begin to tell you how many fantastic recipes and ideas are in this one.

So head on over to Gooseberry Patch and check them out. You’ll be glad you did!

Happy Entertaining!

The Best Candy

Posted in Hubby, Musings, Referrals, tagged , , on November 4, 2010| Leave a Comment »

For my birthday, Hubby bought me a hand-picked box of chocolates from a local candy shop. When I say hand-picked, I mean that he selected each and every piece that went into the box.

He chose well.

There are decadent truffles.

 

Delicious caramels.

 

Little bits of coconut bliss.

Even lavender infused chocolates.

These chocolates are divine, delicious, spectacular. Just one bite sends me into a state of chocolate-induced euphoria.

And perhaps the biggest, most important detail of all is that almost a month later… I haven’t eaten them all!

I can’t tell you how glad I am that Hubby continues to support and enable my chocolate addiction.

If you’d like to check out the candy shop, their link is here.  I warn you,though, there may be drooling involved that could really mess up your screen and keyboard!

Have a great day!

The Chocolate  Junkie
