#ad Looking for a unique gift idea to help spread

#ad Looking for a unique gift idea to help spread a little joy this holiday season? Try filling a clear ornament with @palottery Scratch-Off tickets!

I’ve used these clear fillable ornaments and stuffed them with rolled up scratch-off tickets, a coin for scratching, and a few decorative elements like mini ornaments, bottle brush trees, and tinsel. How cute!? It’s a unique, festive, and special way to show someone you care this holiday season. (Be sure to check out my Instagram stories to see more!)

PA Lottery Scratch-Off tickets have been a go-to gift idea for as long as I can remember. They are the perfect impromptu gift for those hard-to-buy-for people on your list.

I hope you’ll give this idea a try! What other unique ways have you given Scratch-Off tickets? Let me know in the comments below.

We’re making some of the most festive Christmas

We’re making some of the most festive Christmas donuts ever!

I made them using @bobsredmill Organic Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour. This has become the go-to flour in my kitchen because quality baked goods start with the best ingredients.

I love that Bob’s Red Mill products, such as the expansive variety of flours that include gluten- and grain-free options, are available at my grocery store or on Amazon. No matter what I’m making or baking, I know Bob’s Red Mill will have the ingredients I need to make it delicious!

Watch the reel above to see how these Christmas donuts come together, then grab the recipe below to bake this sweet and festive holiday treat! I know you’re going to love them!

Christmas Donuts:
makes 12
2 1/2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 cup butter, melted and cooled
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk
sprinkles (optional)

White Glaze:
Add 2 cups confectioners’ sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 tbsp milk, and (optional) food coloring to a bowl. Whisk to combine.

Chocolate Glaze:
Add 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 3 tbsp milk, and 1 tsp vanilla to a bowl. Whisk to combine.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray the donut baking pan with baking spray. In a bowl whisk together Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together. Mix in melted butter, vanilla, and almond extract. Add half the flour mixture; mix. Add the milk; mix. And the remaining flour mixture; mix just until smooth. Add the batter to a pastry bag and pipe it into the prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Let the donuts cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove them to finish cooling. Mix up the white and chocolate glazes. Once the donuts are cool, dip the donuts into the glaze. Allow excess to drip off and then place donuts on a cooling rack to let the glaze set. (If using sprinkles add now.) Leftover glaze can be transferred to piping bags and used to decorate your donuts.

Cheers to the holidays! #ad We’re using @jackdaniels_us Winter Jack to make Spiced Cranberry Hot Toddies. Jack Daniel’s Winter Jack is a seasonal blend of apple cider liqueur, Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey, and holiday spices. Best served warm, this Tennessee Cider is THE drink of the holiday season.

To create the cocktail, I paired Winter Jack with cranberry juice, fresh oranges, maple syrup, and seasonal spices. The result is these wonderful, festive Spiced Cranberry Hot Toddies. You are going to LOVE them!

Grab the full recipe below and visit the link in my bio to see where you can find Winter Jack near you.

Cheers!

This was a fun, colorful, and whimsical tree I had in my living room a couple of years ago. I loved all the pretty details and unique touches.

This year I’m putting a tree in the same spot. The color palette is somewhat similar but the tree has a totally different feel. I can’t wait to share it with you … just a few more finishing touches. Stay tuned. 🎄

I caught this little moment out of the corner of my eye and quickly grabbed my camera. There’s so much I love here and this little vignette speaks volumes to my style. Collected, vintage, gold, new, eclectic …. and a splash of bourbon. 😜 One of my favorites is this little framed Christmas card. I found it antiquing this past spring and couldn’t wait to find a special spot for it this holiday season.
