Good Morning Darlings!
Today is our sweet Holly’s birthday and last night we celebrated by watching the Golden Globes and eating lots of comfort food.

Good Morning Darlings!
My resolutions have lasted about one split second.
What made me break?

Still on this “I should eat healthy” kick. Day Two.
What’s left in the pantry?

Welp, all the partying is done (until Super Bowl…), so I should really consider eating more healthily.
Let’s see what’s in the pantry and fridge.

Good Morning Darlings!
I am plum full up from the weekend. Scores of tamales, Frangelico cake, cheese dip, guacamole, salsa, enchiladas, more chips. And a marathon of Being Human yesterday on the couch. Dang, that show is good.
Get to the food already!

Good Morning Darlings!
Merry Christmas to you all. I hope Santa was very good to you. He is gifting me with the quietest morning so far, with just a light rain falling on the roof.
Last night Eric and I continued our tradition of Christmas Eve sushi at Gekko, where we dressed up and gorged on rolls, sushi and sashimi. It was divine. But first we made a stop at Green’s, where we stocked up on bubbly and beer for tonight’s dinner. It’s a small affair this year, but we are so grateful to be able to share our home with friends.
Hope you receive lots of festive aprons!
My menu is super simple and I think it would really translate well for a New Year’s Eve feast. I will share the details with you on Tuesday.
Love to you all.
xoxo, Patti

The lovely people at Ross Dress For Less recently sent me a $25 gift certificate and let me have at it.
And so I did.
What did I get?

I get a lot of cookbooks. I love cookbooks. It is time to review all those cookbooks recently sent to me.
Do you love cookbooks, too?

With all the turkey put away, let’s talk holiday baking. We can talk about Christmas now, right?
