What is better than little gingerbread men on my favorite Disney Christmas plate...eating them! Sneaking a few before our Cookie Decorating Party this week! Tell me, do you like yours plain or decorated? #Christmas #baking #Foodie #Disney #cookies #foodphotography #iPhone6s #ilovechristmas

Baking cookies with my family for our Cookie Decorating Party while listening to music and dancing and then watching Christmas movies is such a wonderful feeling of joy! Thank you for the sugar cookie recipe @thepioneerwoman We can't wait to decorate them along with our gingerbread men! #Christmas #baking #cookies #ilovechristmas #Foodie #pnw #foodphotography #iPhone6s

Nothing better than pumpkin pie with loads of whipped cream and coffee for breakfast and making big my @nordstrom wish list for Santa! What kind are you having this morning? #eatdessertfirst #Foodie #foodphotography #iPhone6s #shopping #nordstrom

I love baking dessert! What was your favorite #Thanksgiving pie/dessert? I love apple and pumpkin, but decided to add an old favorite recipe with a twist...Amazing Coconut Pie with a drizzle of #Seattle @franschocolates Dark Chocolate Sauce! So amazing! This pie is a blender pie and makes its own crust! Simple to make and pretty too! #baking #Foodie #blessings #family #foodphotography #iPhone6s

My daughter wanted a Southern #Thanksgiving dinner this year, so thanks to @thepioneerwoman and @foodnetwork magazine we did! Our turkey in Maple Whiskey Brine with gravy to match! Cooked on our #BigGreenEgg came out moist and delicious! #foodphotography #Foodie #cooking #pnw #blessings #family

I made a Bourbon Cranberry Relish recipe from George @lovelesscafe for our Thanksgiving dinner. It was so easy to make and so delicious! #Foodie #cooking #Thanksgiving #blessings #pnw #foodphotography #iPhone6s

Made my first soup in my new @kitchenaidusa Torrent Blender tonight! Roasted Tomato Soup along with Toasted Cheese Sandwiches! Warm food on a cold night in the #pnw was nice! The recipe called for 2 packages Campari tomatoes and my packages must have been larger because it overflowed! Would have been better to have a weight for the recipe. http://www.kitchenaid.com/shop/-%5BRoasted-Tomato-Soup%5D-408143/Roasted-Tomato-Soup/ #Foodie #Soups #foodphotography #cooking #iPhone6s #freshfoods

I tried a new recipe tonight for dessert. Buttermilk Pie made with my new toy! @kitchenaidusa Torrent Blender! It was sweet and delicious and easy! Used a pre made graham cracker crust to make it easy tonight. #Foodie #foodphotography #cooking #iPhone6s
