Cookie Decorating Class with Gail Dosik a/k/a One Tough Cookie

Assortment of the cookies I decorated

On Sunday, I headed out bright and early to make the drive to Washington, D.C. With only a few hours of sleep following my office holiday party, I was running on pure adrenaline and lots of coffee. What would make me drive to Washington, D.C. on a Sunday morning? The one and only Gail Dosik a/k/a One Tough Cookie.

Pumpkin Pie with Pecan Streusel

Have you met Kate over at Food Babbles? If not, let me tell you that she is one of the sweetest people I know. She’s simply lovely. We have become fast friends over the past year. We live just close enough to each other that we were able to find a great spot to meet halfway to grab a bite and shop. We’ve done a lot of damage at a nearby Crate & Barrel outlet store. Take a peek at some of our posts and you’ll see some of the items we’ve splurged on.

Kate recently added a new member to her family. Meet Molly Cate. While she is getting used to that sweet little bundle of joy she is featuring a few guests on her blog to get her through her sleepless nights. Check out my guest post on Food Babbles to read more about the recipe for Pumpkin Pie with Pecan Streusel.

Touchdown Tarts Trade Party

Pigs in a Blanket

Motivated by the promise of a trade party with serious game day eats, a group of us decided to participate in a female only fantasy football league. Our league? The Touchdown Tarts. With team names like “Hands Off My Sides” and “This Little Piggy” our fantasy football league is second to none.

We recently gathered for our trade party where we had an ample amount of food suitable for any football fan. I believe I exclaimed no less than three times “I love this group. I really love this group.” Why? Because we don’t mess around when it comes to game day food. Our trade party included an insane amount of savory bites like the Pigs in a Blanket pictured above. Take a look at some of the other delectable dishes we noshed on.
