For some of us as kids, the biggest incentive to brave the bone-chilling frigid winter was seeking an adrenaline rush, whether it was in the form of sledding, snowboarding, or skiing. For others, it was the promise of warming up with hot chocolate afterwards that coaxed us outside. And then for others yet – perhaps the smartest of all – it was both.

Hot chocolate is one of those things that just about everyone can agree on, which makes it the perfect thing to focus on at a winter party.…

Food Blogger Cookbook Swap 2014

February 28, 2014 by Faith 29 Comments

Unblogged: The Ones That Didn’t Make the Cut

December 30, 2013 by Faith 17 Comments
