The holidays are getting me all worked up. Lots of food to create, gifts to deliver and trips to plan. Here is a roundup of some of my favorite things I found on the web this week.
Foodie Inspiration:
Bream Stuffed with Whole Wheat Bread
Bream Stuffed with Whole Meal Bread: Must try this one! (from http://www.kwestiasmaku.com)
No Bake Gluten Free Pumpkin Squares
No Bake Pumpkin Squares: Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Baking Free (from http://www.thekitchn.com)
Pumpkin Pie Marshmellows
Pumpkin Pie Marshmallows: I don’t even really like pumpkin pie or marshmallows but these look awesome. (from http://www.mouth.com)
Red Velvet White Cheesecake
Red Velvet White Cheesecake: It is little Bean’s 11th birthday on Tuesday and he wants this cake and dinner at the Melting Pot. His tastes are refined towards high fat, high flavor. Good thing he is an athlete.
Gift Inspiration:
Cookies Subscription Gift
The idea of subscription gifts really appeals to me. Getting a package once a month of something so lovely and surprising. This would be my subscription gift of choice. 30 Cookies every month. Check out the Mouth.com for other subscription gift ideas from pickles to beef jerky.
Socks!
Socks from Sock it to Me: If you are on my holiday gift list…..be prepared for some special treats for your feet. Like my dad has always said, “Socks are the perfect gift for everyone.”
Travel Inspiration:
Bathtub at Kohler’s American Club
This bathtub is calling my name–I think I am headed to Kohler, Wisconsin. Thanks to KevinandAmanda.com for the photo and the heads up. I have a love for hotels and this one looks so inviting.
Japan: It has been on my mind a lot lately. I would love to take the kids and Aaron for the holidays but unless a big writing assignment pops up (hint!), it just isn’t in the cards for this year.
SURFit Paddleboard Adventures: A little bit of a plug here (since my husband owns the company)… but it really is a travel inspiration for me. Paddling in clear water, with whale sharks and grey whales. Can’t wait to paddle in the Sea of Cortez and Alaska this next year with SURFit!
