See you in 2012...

I'm signing off until next week for a much needed vacation (Vancouver, B.C.) and a super fun New Year's Eve/Paul's birthday party on Saturday.  Happy New Year!

Christmas Light Tour

To get into the holiday spirit after a long day at work, Paul and I drove over to the Olympic Manor neighborhood (Northwest 85th Street and 23rd Avenue Northwest) to drive through and see the amazing Christmas light displays.  In the homeowners association rules they actually encourage residents to decorate every year (I want to live there!)  If you have time in your crazy holiday schedules I highly recommend you grab some hot chocolate, put on 106.9 and go for a drive.

Herbed-Baked Eggs

If you are looking for an easy, but elegant breakfast dish for the holidays, try this Herbed-Baked Eggs recipe from Ina Garten.  I made it on a whim on Sunday morning and it was light and delicious!  (Note: I reduced the number of eggs from 3 per cup, to 2 per cup and it still turned out great!)

Pomegranate Spritzer

I created this festive cocktail recipe on Friday based on a couple different ones I found online and it is definitely a winner.

Pomegranate Spritzer:
  • 1 shot of pomegranate vodka (I used Pearl Pomegranate)
  • 1 shot of Pom Wonderful 100% pomegranate juice
  • 1/2 cup of your favorite Prosecco 
  • Garnish with lemon slice and serve chilled
