December Favorites & a question for you

/ sarahgiebens / 10 Comments

Hi guys!

Is the 19th of January still a time to post December favorites? Absolutely! Yes, I usually post them the first blogging day of the new month buuuuuut I went skiing so that wasn’t really possible :p Now you also know why I ‘dissapeared’ for a while. I know lots of you keep blogging during your holidays but I took two weeks off. No social media, no phone, no nothing except for my family and our holiday 🙂 It was awesome! I’ll probably share some pictures on my social channels later.

So now that my batteries are fully charged again – not that they were empty – I have a question for you. Yes, right now before we get to the yummy part of this post because now your brains aren’t distracted yet 😉

November Favorites – Christmas Edition

/ sarahgiebens / Leave a comment

Hi guys!

It’s December!!! I lost track of how many times I’ve either said or thought that… But I’m just so excited! December really is the most wonderful time to me. Happy times and lovely time with family and friends. It’s such a great time! I don’t even mind the cold. Snuggle together with a fluffy blanket and some tea or hot chocolate and I’ve already forgotten about the crappy wether 🙂

This months favorites is all about Christmas! Many of you have been preparing for THE holiday of the year (at least it is for me) and I’ve been inspired by so many of your awesome recipes and crafts. My to-do list has grown and I do hope this little list can inspire you as well to create some yummy dishes for your Christmas parties 🙂

#1: Gingerbread Latte Cupcakes

Oh Annie… These Gingerbread Latte Cupcakes are to die for! So adorable! I absolutely love those cute little Gingerbread Men. Got to find some myself. Yumm!

#2: Christmas Tree Donuts

I LOVE these donuts! They look cute, delicious, festive and… fluffy! 😀 Such a great idea. It’s just awesome! Yes, for those of you who haven’t noticed by now: I’m in love! Thanks so much Erin for sharing this with us.

#3: Eggnog Bundt Cake with Eggnog Sugar Glaze

Eggnog-Bundt-Cake-with-Eggnog-Sugar-Glaze-2A-Pretty-Life

Jo-Anna from A Pretty Life made this pretty cake. It’s the perfect Christmas cake if you ask me 🙂 I’ve never had it (or I can’t remember if I had) Eggnog but I’ve seen enough Christmas movies to know this is part of the holidays 🙂

#4: Peppermint White Chocolate Rugelach

Regelach-2-FInal

I would love to try some of these delicious treats 🙂 Don’t they look all festive and Christmas-y to you? 😀 Aida from The Crafting Foodie made these lovely treats for us.

#5: Peppermint Mocha Fudge

Peppermint-Mocha-Fudge-7

Yes. Candy cane reminds me of one thing: Christmas! And so does this yummy Peppermint Mocha Fudge from Brandie and her Home Cooking Memories blog. I really like the presentation with the crushed candy cane and it gives me this instant holidays feeling ^^

 

I hope you find these recipes inspiring and festive enough to get you in the Christmas spirits 🙂 I’ll be doing lots of Christmas baking in the next weeks to prepare both myself and you for my absolute favorite holiday of the year!

Have a delicious day ❤

August Favorites

/ sarahgiebens / 5 Comments

Hi guys!

It is official: Summer is over! It’s the 1st of September and all the kiddos had to go to school again. I bet lots of the parents are relieved their kids can go back to school :p There will be kids who loved going back and there will be some who cried…
One thing is for sure: you are going to love these five favourites! 😉

I almost can’t believe Summer is gone already… It’s gone so fast! Tomorrow it’ll be Christmas… Not that I would find that unfortunate 😉

Let’s not think about the time but let’s see what August has given us! I was super happy to see August giving us as much awesome recipes as July had done 🙂

#1: White Chocolate and Coconut Panna Cotta

Hi guys!

Let’s do something different today 🙂
It’s Friday (finally) and the app I use most on Friday is Instagram!

Some people would call it an Instagram addiction…

So today I’m giving you a little overview of some of my favourite Instagrammers.
It would be even better if you get to know some new accounts 😀
