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!
Again, congrats and it is well-deserved. You work hard and you should be noted for that!
Hope you are off enjoying the fruits of your labor, so to speak. ;)
