The age-old story tells us of Cupid, who would shoot his iconic arrow on those looking for love on Valentine’s Day. Although, we know it as a cute story, I did want to incorporate the symbolic arrow of love in my Valentine’s Day tabletop. These arrows are fun and festive, and so simple to make. I…
Blushing Champagne
A Sweet Valentine’s day calls for a romantic drink of sparkling champagne. The blushing rose hue was just the right touch atop sheer pink tulle on my tabletop. Champagne is an aphrodisiac on its own, but by adding a splash of pomegranate seeds and juice, adds just the right sweet touch to this Blushing Champagne…
Valentine’s Day Cards
There are certain parts of Valentine’s Day that I don’t like, as in commercialized greeting cards, which is why there isn’t a better way to spread love than with a handmade card. All you need is beautiful card stock in lovely colors and patterns cut in different sizes, paper dollies for a pretty lace effect, glittered…

These little pies are extremely versatile, they’re portable, satisfy all guests at potlucks or easy-going cocktail parties, or cold days when you just want…
Chocolate Ganache & Cranberry Curd Tart
I’ve been feeling quite festive and inspired by Valentine’s Day, and the very sweet delights that this loving holiday bring about. They say dark chocolate is an aphrodisiac, we’ll I can tell why. It’s mysteriously bitter, yet decadently smooth and tangy, always leaving you tempted for more. This curd combines the right amount of tart…
Rum Pecan Pie
The ever-so decadent pecan pie is an indulgence I typically stay clear from, not only for my own sake but that of my family’s health too. But with it being the holidays, I usually make whatever they request, so I couldn’t turn them down. I’ve always had great things said about my traditional pecan pie,…

If the chilling weather, and endless houses decked in holiday lights haven’t assured you that it’s the end of November, then that the fact that Thanksgiving is just a week away, sure will. The holidays can become quite daunting and frustrating for most. Instead of it being a time to celebrate with loved ones over…
