Ten years ago, I never would have dreamed that I would so love and admire a flour company. But any of you who are familiar with King Arthur Flour know what I’m talking about.
King Arthur Flour has not only taught our generation how to cook and bake with their healthier, quality-made flours and whole grains…they somehow made it oh-so-hip. :) Their website has long been one of my favorite resources for recipes, and they even have a baking hotline that you can call for advice if you run into questions in the middle of a recipe. (How many times have you needed that?!) Also, being the granddaughter of Kansas wheat farmers, I so appreciate and respect the way King Arthur Flour honors the relationships with their farmers. Always reassuring to know where your food comes from.
So today, I’m excited that we’re giving away a copy of their “Whole Grain Baking” cookbook – an amazing one that every baker should have in their collection. And then the winner will also receive a coupon for a bag of free flour to use at your local grocery store. (I highly recommend their white whole wheat flour, pictured below. I use it now the majority of the time in place of all-purpose!)
So if you’re new to King Arthur Flour, or a longtime fan, pop over to their website to look around. And enter this yummy giveaway!

‘Tis the season for Christmas parties galore! I somehow had three booked on my calendar this weekend (a lot for this introvert!). But great friends make for great parties, and they were a blast! Love this season.
Of course, I couldn’t show up empty-handed. So decided to combine my gingerbread-love with a little OCD-cupcake decorating. (I had an extra 10 minutes to kill, so the sprinkles are a little more evenly-spaced than usual. I know.) And voila — these adorable little gingerbread cupcakes with some to-die-for molasses cream cheese frosting were born.
Honestly, I was kind of just looking for an excuse to use those adorable gingerbread sprinkles I received last year as a gift. :)
But the cupcakes turned out great! Loved the spiced cupcake and sweet frosting pairing, and the fact that the entire project used nearly an entire jar of molasses. My kind of recipe! My friends also gave it the thumbs up. So, especially since I still have some more sprinkles, will definitely be making these again soon!

I became a big Nostalgia Electrics fan years ago when I bought one of their chocolate fountains (one of my favorite entertaining centerpieces!). Little did I know until I moved in with my current roommates that they also make some seriously stellar popcorn makers!!! I’m a pretty tough popcorn critic, and can vouch that theirs is absolutely scrumptuous. And addictive. :)
So now it’s your turn to become a fan! Today we’re giving away not one, but two amazing Nostalgia popcorn makers — their Hollywood Series™ Kettle Popcorn Maker and the 6-Quart Theater Popcorn Maker TPM100. Oh yes.
Your movie and game nights will never be the same again. These guys are perfect for entertaining, and they are super-simple to use and have those adorable, classiclooks! You even get to personalize the marquee on the Kettle Popcorn Maker. Um…perfect!
So check out the Nostalgia Electrics website to learn more about all of their amazing other products, or visit your local Bed, Bath & Beyond to see some in person. And enter the giveaway to hopefully win this popcorn-tastic pair!
