I had a blast playing Secret Santa at the office this year!! I always do. This yearly tradition has become a great way to welcome in the holidays, with a bit of mischief and good fun.
The week of Thanksgiving we fill out our Santa wish list, then blind draw who we will secretly spoil the week of our annual company Christmas Party. Last week, that all happened in epic proportion. I drew Nick. Nick, who’s favorite candy is Junior Mints.

Spending Friday afternoon in the warehouse, checking and packing orders, was a wonderful reminder of how teamwork can propel a small company. Laying wide awake in bed early Saturday morning…told me where my heart was.
When Chocolate & Peanut Butter Pretzel Squares appeared on my Pinterest feed, I knew they needed to be delivered to all my awesome workmates.

There are some things I routinely make from scratch that I take for granted. Homemade Whipped Cream is one of them. Consider this post being less about a recipe and more about encouragement to make from scratch whenever possible. It’s really nice to know the ingredients in your dishes. In this case…just two.

It was time for another Adventure in Chocolate. I started something kind of fun. Every other week or so I will choose one of my work-mates to select a recipe, that I then recreate, picture, post about, and deliver to them to Share the Love. This time up I chose Allan and he chose Chocolate Rum Balls.
