A Chinese New Year Treat!

A Chinese New Year treat will be a delicious way to surprise your family with some extra January fun!  Each year we try to celebrate this festive holiday with a take-out meal from our favorite restaurant.  And since we were traveling on NYE this year, making our Chinese New Year festivities extra fun seemed important!  Along with our meal, I decided to create a treat board with some interesting snacks we picked up in China at the Epcot World Showcase.  Nibbles with an Asian flare & an array of cookies helped us deliciously ring in the Year of the Tiger!  We went ahead and celebrated a tad early so we all could be home together and I’m excited to share it with you!  If you’re feeling like having another go at some New Year fun, check out this inspo!  No trip to China or Disney required…just ideas you can tweak to fit your family celebration!  Let’s gather ’round the table again…

cheers to the year of the tiger!

Table-top s’mores are the perfect treat if you don’t have a fire pit in your backyard!  S’mores are one of the most popular desserts in late summer and fall and they’re the easiest to make.  But if you don’t have access to flames, it’s hard to toast a marshmallow!  I’m really excited to share with you an alternative way to indulge on this favored treat and all you need is a table. (along with the gooey fixin’s of course!)  I want to show you my favorite table-top fire bowl and how you can use it to share some holiday fun with your family & friends!  I’ll be sharing where you can get it AND some easy ideas for serving up some Halloween joy!  Let’s get roasting…
