Chicken & Waffles Cupcakes with Maple Syrup Frosting
The southern litmus test: If you're drooling right now, you must have spent some time in your life below the Mason-Dixon line. Chicken and waffles (yes, served together) is a southern tradition. And let me tell you, if you want to
9 Free Caligraphy Fonts
As if I didn't have enough to do, I sometimes day dream about starting to learn calligraphy. I mean, I sort of have neat handwriting. When I try to, at least. And how great would it be to embellish homemade
No-Carve Painted Pumpkins
It’s time I get honest with you: I don’t like carving pumpkins.
I love picking out pumpkins. And I love roasting up a pan of pumpkin seeds and eating pumpkin-flavored sweets. But that whole part in between where you have to wade through pounds of pumpkin goop and struggle with a knife trying to stick to a pattern that you know full well isn’t going to turn out the way you want it to? Yeah I hate that stuff.
So this year, I decided to change up my Halloween decor with a different “gourd” idea: Painted pumpkins.

That's why I crafted these felted rabbit place settings. They're festive and fun without screaming "Easter Bunny!" You could even keep these out on the table throughout the year, customizing the colors to match your table scape.
They're really easy, too.
To get started, you'll need sheets of craft store felt (two sheets for each rabbit), spray adhesive, scissors and either a sewing machine or a glue gun.
Oh, and this felt rabbit template right here:

Sparkling Shamrock Champagne Cocktail
St. Patrick's Day and cocktails go hand-in-drunken-hand. Although green beer has always been the drink of choice for the suddenly Irish on March 17, I think it's time we class it up a bit. To get in the spirit, I decided
Amaretto-Soaked White Chocolate Cherries
Looking for something to keep you warm through winter? Here's a deceptively impressive dessert that will wow the crowd: amaretto-soaked cherries, dipped in white chocolate. Keep the kids away from these! They're flavorful, they're not too sweet, and they pack
