Sweet Holiday Wish List

Well, obviously somehow, without anyone noticing, the end of the year has sneaked in and made itself at home. 

At least, for the next 31 days.

How in the world did 2010 pass me by?

But, it’s here.  This month has already started crazy busy, and it’s the first day!  I have tons of lists around me.  Holiday cards to design prepare and mail, holiday gift to make, wrap and give out.  Not to mention 3 holiday parties, 1 cookie exchange, my baking/cooking club responsibilities, a friends get-together and my own birthday.

Yes folks, I’m a December baby.  In fact, I sort of missed being a Christmas baby by 5 days, but nevertheless my birthday gets bundled up in the holiday spirit.

I would not have it any other way.

But the best part about it? Double presents!

And this year I’m really coveting lots of good stuff, mainly kitchen stuff, because apparently my life has now revolved around my favorite room in the house, my kitchen.  Here is a couple of my favorite things that I’m asking Santa for.  Most of the links are going to my marketplace, so if you are interested in getting this for your favorite someone, use my link, and this way you support sweetbites as well… because well, I get credit from your shopping spree!  See a total win-win for sure.

Happy Turkey Day

Thanksgiving is one day away, and there’s a lot of food to be made!

I, for one not doing it.  Tom and I, on a rare set of events are totally on our own this holiday (no kid, no family, no plans), which means that we will be simply enjoying the fact that we have FOUR glorious days to do absolutely nothing!

ahhh, and it all starts in about 1 hour from now, when I get off work and head home.

To sit on my couch and catch up with lots of TV time. - don’t judge!

Gift giving - Hotel Chocolat

If you been a reader for a while around these parts you must be aware of my love affair with chocolate and how picky I am with the taste and quality of said chocolate.  I mean let’s be a bit honest with ourselves – chocolate is one of the most basic and satisfying pleasure in the whole world.

Go ahead you can dispute me…

Yeah, I thought so.

So when I got an email from Hotel Chocolat asking if I was willing to try their Holiday collection and write a piece about it I jumped at the chance.

A box of chocolate, for me?

Show me the way.
