Did you have a great holiday?
What did you get? I always love hearing people’s favorite gift :)I got the sparkly pink Kitchen Aid that I have been dreaming about.
It was a good day.
And I’ve eaten pretty much nonstop for 4 days of whatever and however much I wanted. That means Red Velvet Cheesecake cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a little protein thrown in to balance the sugar headaches. That was my Christmas gift to myself…4 days of eating with no abandon. It was a success.
I got my husband an iPhone 4S for Christmas and he is currently in a battle against Siri. He spent half an hour asking Siri for directions to the supermarket that is 10 minutes from our house (that he’s been to no less that 4 million times). Old broad wouldn’t budge. She wasn’t gonna lead him there, no matter what.
I think she knew that he was just testing her, so she balked. Makes sense if you ask me.
And my kids got…well, pretty much everything. So yeah, we’ve had a nice holiday.
Now, moving forward, as we have to do, we have New Years Eve to think about.
Homemade Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
Whether or not you are the fancy party goer (not me), the casual party goer (yes me) or the stay at home and enjoy with the family kinda goer, you need to have treats. Nothing rings in the New Year better than brownies covered in frosting. It’s a thing, trust me. So, how about trying some Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting?
Sounds good, huh?
I found this cool stuff at the supermarket (that I eventually found without Siri’s help).
It’s Cream of Coconut in a super easy squeeze bottle.

Also, have you guys tried those Almond Joy pieces? They are SO good! So here’s all I did.

I love how they look so small, coconut is always great with chocolate!
My favorite gift? Reusable produce bags and sheets of parchment paper.
Parchment might be the world’s perfect gift! I never seem to have enough!
ohhhh I am so jealous u got the pink mixer!!!! these look scrumptious.
What a wonderful gift – the Kitchen Aid. I love the coconut cream squeeze. Off to look for it.
I love your blog. There is so much good here.
Happy Holidays.
I LOVE the cream of coconut in the squeeze bottle!! I’ve always bought the cans, but since buying that, it eliminates a ton of waste. Seriously, I use it all the time.
And I LOOOVE that candy. Love. I wish I had invented it.
Brownies look great!! I want the 4S sooo bad. My friend told me that if you ask Siri to tell you a story, she will!! Jealous.
These look sooo delicious! Every year @ Christmas, I buy a bag of Mounds (just for me!). This year, I forgot! I’d like to try THESE. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes :o)
I’ve had a few run-ins with Siri and she is ALWAYS a bitch. To everyone. I’ve never heard her give an ounce of useful information. You should tell your husband to throw in the towel.
Yay for your KitchenAid! I got a pasta maker attachment for mine. Swoon!
I really hope I can find that cream of coconut squeeze bottle in my supermarket! These look awesome.
Oh my, those looks good. I am so jealous of your pink kitchen aid!
Your kids got everything? And your husband got an iPhone? Getting everything for Christmas doesn’t make it nice. Christmas is about spending time with loved ones and celebrating Jesus’ birth, not about the stuff people get. And the fact that you chose to share it with the world…well, I find that disheartening. I wish my kids could get everything, and I wish my husband could have an iPhone. We didn’t get all the stuff, but yeah, we had a nice holiday.
While I certainly was exaggerating that my kids got everything, i do understand your point.
I do recognize that Christmas is a religious holiday for most, but I also know that 99% of the people who celebrate it for religious reasons also exchange gifts, myself included. The mention of my family’s Christmas gifts certainly weren’t out to offend anyone, but share part of my life. As with all my posts I talk about my life, my kids and my family, so this post certainly wasn’t out of the ordinary. And seeing as how it is a baking blog, I assumed most would be excited for my pink mixer, because as it IS quite an expensive gift it is an item I have been saving up for for quite some time.
Thanks so much for your comment.
I’m sorry, my last comment came out sounding a little harsh. I don’t have a problem with you discussing the mixer (which is gorgeous by the way) as it is, as you said, a baking blog. And we do exchange presents here as well, but my kids didn’t get “everything,” which I just found a little offensive. Thanks you for your reply!
Those look absolutely divine! I am a huge fan of coconut and chocolate so I am thinking this needs to be made stat! My favorite Christmas present was a new computer! Mine went out in August and I told my husband that I didn’t really need one (we’d been saving all our money for a big family vacation but I really, really missed my computer!) so I suffered through the months on my smart phone and the kids playstation (when I wanted to see things on a bigger screen). So yeah, I am back to blog stalking the old fashioned way and am quite thrilled about it!
