Today is usually Woman Crush Wednesday, the day I save for my female chefs.  I recreate one of their recipes live on Snapchat (my username is blissbakery) and I post a love story about the honoree on here.  But today I am in America visiting my family.  I will take a break from the kitchen to devote the precious time to them.  However, I am sharing a little story about a special someone,  Freddy ButtonsContinue reading

Last Minute Dot Com Christmas

lastminute-dot-com-500x500

One of my favorite things about being Irish and living in Ireland is the wit and clever use of language. I heard this phrase by an Irish person referring to the Irish as”last minute dot com” people.  It has always stuck with me. In many ways this can be true. However, I have known many Irish that are particularly organized and early when it comes to Christmas gift shopping. If you’re not prepared however for the looming day, never fear. I have a few ideas for you. Continue reading

Christmas Wishlist Cookbooks

Greetings from Stockholm, Sweden! If you’re not watching my Snapchat (username blissbakery) you’re missing out on a peek into this gorgeous city.  I’ll be posting all sorts of photos and recommendations another day.  But since it is Wednesday, my fav day of the week, I had to pop on and say hello. Though I won’t be able to do my usual Women Crush Wednesday episode today as I don’t have access to a kitchen for the re-creation of one of the chef’s recipes, I have another treat for you.  I am going to share my top ten list of Cookbooks for the foodie on your Christmas list.
While I have shared my love for the Flavor Bible on here before, this is the first time I’ve given such a comprehensive list of cookbooks, so take note! Continue reading

For the Love of Books

As part of the #30daysofgratitude Snapchallenge, I shared my appreciation for books.  I adore going to libraries and antique bookshops. I am a collector of all kinds of books. I love fiction, non-fiction, quote books, coffee table books, children’s books and of course cookery books. I posted a list of some of my fav fiction and non fiction books on Snapchat (my username is blissbakery). So I thought I would share that list here, with a few additions as well!  Continue reading

Sunday Spotlight Snap Sista Recap #2

During this #30daysofgratitude Snapchallenge, I thought it might be a good idea to do another recap of some of my Sunday Spotlight Snap Sista honorees. There have been 37 so far. I had planned to do another episode today.  But Hubby and I are currently in Malta and the wifi is a bit spotty.  Since each week I do a segment on my Snapchat (username blissbakery) that includes video and photo content, it appears it wouldn’t be possible for the snaps to load properly. So I’ll be back next Sunday with another installment.

It is day 21 of #30daysofgratitude a Snapchallenge that I am hosting on my Snapchat  channel (username blissbkery).  I love seeing what everyone is grateful for each day.  It is nice that I am not the only one giving “props” to the four legged lovable creatures in our lives whom we call pets.  In fact I’ve already given thanks this month for Stella our sweet pit!   But today I have to pay homage to Jack, our Soul Dog, who passed away two years ago today after blessing us with fourteen years life.
