Well, hey! I took a little holiday blogging break, on purpose…and that extended into a second week, because\u00a0life<\/em>. Post-Christmas has lots of extra jobs – unpacking from traveling, attempting to organize and assimilate new toys, putting away the decorations and vacuuming the pine needles (I mean…the tree is gone! Are they breeding??<\/em>), and finishing off the cookie dough truffles<\/a> for lunch. I’m kinda pooped. And I also haven’t cooked much of anything…we’ve been living out of the freezer (hey bean burritos<\/a>, hey!) and off of leftovers from delicious extended family holiday\u00a0meals that I didn’t have to cook. It’s been pretty awesome.<\/p>\n

So I thought I would share with you a few fun things that I got for Christmas for my kitchen! I set up a little Amazon store, which means they’ll give me some pennies if you buy through my links (and help offset the cost of running the blog). It’s been many moons since I earned any pennies, so spend that Christmas money, my friends! ;o)<\/p>\n

These lovely measuring spoons showed up in my stocking. I took them for a spin making waffles and they’re great! Very sturdy (my old\u00a0plastic set has some warped spoons from the dishwasher), and I love that the shape allows them to get down into little spice jars!<\/p>\n
