smells so good… I could just eat it!
With all the delicious scents of candles availabe these days, it’s sometimes hard not to salivate when smelling some of them.  And our new soy+beeswax Milkhouse candles are no exception… however they do offer recipes that compliment the smell of their delicious scents- like this Gingerbread Pumpkin Dip. I plan on whipping up this tasty recipe & serving it with apples at a get-together soon. Beat all the ingredients together, cover & chill.  Great .

Steve & I had the chance to hang with some of our friends on Memorial Day and thought it was the perfect time to try out our snazzy fire wires.  So I made up four FULL skewers (after re-watching the video, maybe I shouldn't have totally filled them up;) … but at any rate, it was really easy to do.  I just marinated them for a few hours in Italian dressing. At first I .

Remove from the oven and press on topping of choice.  Then slide the foil onto the .

I recently had to bring a sweet snack to a party and since I didn't have the time to whip something up, I asked Steve if he could swing a 5 ingredient recipe.  After he lovingly agreed… I added, "And could you document the recipe so I can blog about it?"

Another scrumptious cookie recipe for you!  Our design studio manager, Todd celebrated a birthday last week and he mentioned his favorite baked good was flour-less peanut butter cookies.  I scratched my head and googled away… and sure enough there were lots of rave reviews for these tasty morsels.   Super simple ingredients… 2 cups of peanut butter, 2 cups of sugar, 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons of baking soda.  Bake 12-15 minutes at 350'   .
