Happy Weekend!

Hey loves! Have I told you lately that ALL OF YOU are a true gift to me. Just know that I appreciate you reading my blog and sharing with others! This weekend I am working on new gift ideas and I hope you enjoy each and every one! Who knows where my inspiration may come from...it can be so random...as random as these pics!

 

Gift Tip #94: Cooking Light Annual Recipes 2012 Cookbook

This annual collector's edition book features over 700 recipes that appeared in the glossy pages of Cooking Light Magazine throughout 2011. To make it easier for the kitchen novice, pictures are included of many of the dishes and for the more experienced chef you can give your take on many of the healthy dishes. The book takes you from the beginning of the meal until the end, with easy to prep appetizers and delicious desserts...and of course entrees to die for. This would make for a great gift for someone new to the kitchen or someone who just wants to shake things up a bit. Ladies, we must move away from the salads and grilled chicken breast at some point...while still being healthy of course, and with the help of this cookbook, why not do it today?

Gifts to Encourage Get-Healthy Resolutions

While I don’t do resolutions, I think it’s great to make a goal list. One of the bullet points that always makes my list (and my friends’ lists!) is to be healthy. To me, that means eating better and amping up my exercise. When gifting, there’s a fine line between being supportive and seeming critical when you buy someone a good-for-them present, but I’ve found five that are apropos and awesome!
