Do you have Kitchen Swagger? Get jiggy with it!

Last fall I won the chili cook-off at my office - I start with this spice blend and add whatever sounds good at the time - it’s a winner!

I think I will make this cake for my birthday & chocolate for Darrin - did you know we share birthdays?

Speaking of Darrin - I think he needs this spatula

I love giving gifts from my kitchen for the holidays. I was inspired to make homemade vanilla extract from Ali @ Gimme Some Oven. Her site includes label templates and much more! I buy my vanilla beans in bulk here

My daughter Bethany just made a Christmas playlist - these songs make her happy and it’s over 2 hours of holiday cheer!

Scotch Eggs - I will never forget the first time I tried these at The Renaissance Festival (oh how I miss festivals) I would love to make them! Typically served in pubs across England - yes please!

I ordered these cute WINE gift tags. Adds a classy touch when gifting vino for special occasions.

I really want and need this BOOK - I recently started following her on Instagram - her account and style are lovely.

My new cleanser - with the cold and dry months ahead, my skin craves extra moisture.

Have a beautiful week my friends!

Thank you for following my new adventure ContinueYum - I’m thrilled to share my culinary journeys with you.
