Month: December 2006

First of all, with this final post of 2006, I will be marking a significant milestone. For this, my friends, is my 500th post to Tummy Treasure. 500! It seems like just yesterday that I was starting out, and to reach 500, that’s quite amazing to me. I’m looking forward […]

I’ve accomplished a lot this year! When I look back through my archives, I am simply amazed. And I also realize how wonderful blogging truly is, that I have a chronicle of the past year. I can go back and remind myself of the things we did, the recipes we […]

I hope no one minds too terribly that Tummy Treasure has been taking a bit of a break this week. There hasn’t been much at all to blog about food-wise, as we’re relaxing post-holiday with leftovers and dining out. We literally have scads and scads of cookies and treats leftover, […]

As promised, here is the picture of yesterday’s Christmas cake. I have to say, I am still surprised at how much it actually looked like a log. I decided against making fake leaves, mushrooms, etc, and just let the log be a log. I did end up dressing it up […]

Thank you to everyone who participated in A Menu For Hope. Together, we raised over $58,000!!!! Isn’t that amazing! Over $58,000! Think of all the starving children who will get to eat a meal thanks to your generosity. It is so wonderful to think of all the wonderful people who […]

It’s really different for me this year. I think this is the first time ever that I have my Christmas shopping done well before Christmas. Other than a few gift cards, we were completely done two weeks ago. It’s very odd to not be rushing around shopping at the last […]

This morning I took a stroll over to First Giving to check out the totals for A Menu For Hope so far. Wow!! We are over $38,000!! How awesome is that! If you haven’t taken the opportunity to share in the joy of giving, it’s not too late! You have […]

Are you still looking for one or two things to round out your cookie platters? I know I always like to change things up every year and add one or two more new things. So when I saw these cookies at The Savory Notebook, they were a must try. They […]

Baffled with what to get them? Have I got the gifts for you. Sunday I was the recipient of a fantastic box of goodies from a very close friend of mine. Here’s the secret, this is my favorite type of gift. I love putting together gift boxes and baskets by […]

20 points to the person who can identify where today’s post title came from. 🙂 Today Tummy treasure is taking a bit of a break so I can nurse my sick little girl to health. She was awake in the middle of the night, and I suspect the nasty Norovirus […]

I got these cookies from my swap buddy. Normally, I have never been a huge ginger cookie fan. But apparently, I’ve just never had the good ones. Gingersnaps, gingerbread, I’ve always been on the fence with them. I enjoy them, don’t get me wrong on that. But give me a […]

Last year was the first time I’d made Emeril’s Coconut Indulgences. They were an instant hit, they taste just like a Mounds candy bar, which is one of my all-time favorite candy bars. For those of you across the pond, a Mounds is very much like a Bounty bar. Coconut […]
