I couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened up an email this morning with this link to Martha Stewart’s site.
And at the very bottom of that screenshot, there’s a link to my Chocolate Saltine Toffee that the editors at Martha Stewart apparently found via Foodgawker
Trust me when I say I nearly spit my coffee all over my screen in a state of disbelief because I seriously thought it was just a notification from one of those spammy sites that takes my content and reprints it in entirety on their site. I almost didn’t even open the link to Martha’s site because I thought it was just a spam site. Glad I clicked over.
And congrats to my awesome friend, Leanne, and to the others as well who were also featured.
And in case you’re planning a vegan holiday meal or any holiday meal and still need recipe ideas, Marly at Namely Marly has compiled a virtual vegan holiday dinner.
When she asked if she could include my Cranberry and Orange Ginger Mango Chutney as one of the sides on her virtual menu I said, of course.
Lots of great meal ideas from some really talented cooks in Marly’s Feast.
If it wasn’t so darn hot down here, I’d be cooking up a feast.
But today my eyes are more into looking at this view than the inside of my kitchen.
This was the view I couldn’t believe I was experiencing on my morning run here in Aruba today.
No one else was on the beach or the beachside path where I run at about 11 am this morning. I was shocked.
And grateful.
Breath in, breath out.
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
All pictures taken with my iPhone.
I am grateful for this day even if my eyes couldn’t believe some of what I saw.
Questions:
Fill in the blank: I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw__________.
Or anything you’ve seen recently, either good or bad, that has you in a state of disbelief? Hopefully something good!
Weekend Plans?
I plan to spend time with my family at the beach. Hopefully there’s no rain.
And I’d like to bake, or no-bake, some treats. The White Chocolate Peanut Butter Puppy Chow is gone and so is the White Chocolate Peanut, Pretzel, & Chocolate Chip Fudge. Need to make something else now…
Thanks for the Coconut Oil Giveaway entries and enjoy your weekend!
Congratulations Averie!!!
I’m late to the party but congrats!! That’s a neat Christmas gift :)
congrats Averie! I’m sure that was very exciting to see. I can’t believe how easy this saltine toffee recipe is! It’s no wonder Martha’s editors loved it– the recipe looks divine!! You can’t go wrong with chocolate & toffee. :)
thanks, Sally!
How exciting Averie, congrats!
Congrats on the Martha link, that rocks! What an honor! I need to try that recipe! And amazing iPhone pics! I’m actually getting rid of my point-and-shot since the camera on my new phone is just as good. Just relaxing and getting ready for Christmas here this weekend!
What and accomplishment!!!Congratulations, Averie!
Oh I adore the daily dose of sunshine from your blog… the photos of the beach and the sea and your running paths (I am not jealous or anything ;-))… stunning!
I love where I live, it’s also near the ocean, but with LOTS of rain. Not quite Aruba ;-) It’s so cold now…brrrrr. You’re doing the right thing :-)
‘an’ accomplishment…
Congratulations on the Martha Blog! I would be so thrilled if it was me! I think I would send a screencap photo in my Christmas cards. LOL
