Tis the Season!

Sunday was the first day I've had at the house where I didn't have to go anywhere or do anything other than get my act together.  Which coincidently meant I had a lot to do but it was all fun stuff.
 
One of which was putting some good smellers on my stove for us to enjoy. 
 
Half of an orange in thirds, 3/4 cup of fresh cranberries, two cinnamon sticks broken in half and apple cider poured over until everything was floating (probably about two cups).  It smelled amazing.  I didn't pour it out as I plan to heat it up again tonight and probably pour more cider over it.
 
 
I picked this bread up at Teeter yesterday instead of our usual bagel thins.  This is SO good and the perfect holiday treat.  I toasted it, put a lil spray butter on it and had a yum breakfast.  I also had a little yogurt from TJ's too.  Delish.  I think they have other flavors of this bread so check it out at your local grocery store! 
 
I also made an ornament wreath yesterday and fixed a light lasagna soup for dinner.  I'll have to post about those later this week!

  1. I used to have a co-worker whose husband worked for Pepperidge Farm and she would always bring in all of the different flavors of the swirled bread. SO GOOD.

  5. If I want something to smell delicious, I usually buy the cheapest apple pie I can find and heat it up in the oven to use as an air freshener. I tend keep the oven a little cooler than what the directions call for so it'll smell for longer. Plus, my fiance doesn't usually mind having to dispose of an apple pie when we're done :)

  8. This sounds like it would smell SO good! I'm going to try it! And I am hunting down that bread - I've had the cinnamon raisin version and loved it.
