What makes it a yummy world? Glady’s Taber for one thing.  You’re probably familiar with this quote — it’s my very favorite thing she ever wrote; I try to slip it in whenever I can. ♥ It’s perfect for the season, perfect for the new year and perfect for us, girlfriends.  Because this is how we roll.

 And now, for a quick happy dance around the tea cup.

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Oh yes, I’ve been very busy . . . I also had a delicious breakfast . . . 

Do you like hot cereal?  I love it.  Especially McCann’s Steel-Cut Oats, my favorite kind of oatmeal — I top it with walnuts, blueberries and cinnamon (my dad will probably leap out of his seat to comment on this, he thinks he is the only person in the world who knows the correct way to make oatmeal :-)).  But I have a “new” favorite right now . . . . I’ve fallen back in love with Cream of Rice.  Have you tasted it?  It’s been around forever.  It’s faster to make than oatmeal, creamy and tummy warming on a cold morning like today, and it also works if you’re on a gluten free diet! I get it at our supermarket next to all the other hot cereals — sprinkle it with a little granola, and start off the day HAP-HAP-HAPPY. ♥  Seriously, it really works like that! 

Sing out Louise!  

♫ IT’S A YUM-YUMMY WORLD IN THE WINTER  . . .♪

We’re having a party tonight, and guess what else?  It’s supposed to snow here!  I mean, do we have timing or what?  Everyone will be so festive!  Nothing like clunking into a party through the snow.  So the kitchen is all warmed up, I’m making corn chowder this morning . . . if maybe you haven’t had a chance to try this soup yet, here’s the recipe, so easy and so good to feed a crowd, they love it!  And by extension, YOU, darling girl that you are, nurturing thing. ♥

That’s all for today, just wanted to say hello!  Off I go, I have desserts to make!  Cozy Saturday holiday weekend wishes to you all!  XOXO
