Debbie Major’s flavoured gingerbread vodka recipe, made with ginger, cinnamon, vanilla and cloves, makes a perfect edible gift to give at Christmastime.
Nana taught me how to make this candy many years ago. We would make so many flavors and her candy dishes were always filled with them. I decided to make them with my son and fill our candy dishes like nana did. We made many flavors, the possibilities are endless, rootbeer, peppermint, wintergreen,cinnamon, spearmint, anise,lime,strawberry, orange, you name it you can make it. I match the color food coloring i use to the flavor of the candy. When you make several flavors the candy bowls are just bursting with color, much like a stained glass window. And the candy is bursting with flavor. So easy and fun to make and a great way to fill up those candy bowls like they did in the good ole days.

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls {Soft & Delicious!}
Making lefses properly takes some skill and to aid there are special tools like pastry cloths and a ridged rolling pins. Experienced lefse makers can roll them out large, to the size of a dinner plate with the dough thin enough to read through. Alas, my lefse skills are more in the eating domain and I could only do smaller ones at about 10-12cm in diameter but they were still a hit at home with Mr NQN and his brother. I decided to play around with my Sigma macro lens to capture my favourite time in the day-not sunrise or sunset but the time when butter, cinnamon and sugar meet and melt together.

Monschau Christmas Market: Everything You Need to Know for the Perfect Festive Break
After years of half-truths and relentless ads on our TVs, cholesterol has, quite unfortunately, earned itself a bad name.
Very often, when people open up about their problems or negative thoughts they have, the first instinct of the other person is to cheer them up, try to reassure them that everything will work out and that there are worse things that could happen. People who try to make the troubled person feel better don’t usually mean any harm, but they actually are forcing positivity on a person that can’t see the lighter side of the situation at that moment.
