Thursday's Treasures and a Giveaway


It's only 2 weeks until Thanksgiving, can you believe it? I'm glad it's just going to be immediate family at my house this year. All the delicious food but much more casual.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, I told you about these incredible Chocolate Dipped Strawberries from Fannie May here. Fannie May has generously offered to give one of my readers the same sample box I received to one of my readers. And they are going to have it to you in time for Thanksgiving! Can you picture these delectable strawberries on your dessert table?



Entering is easy! Just click on the entries in the rafllecopter.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

This giveaway ends at 12:01 am on 11/14/2012, only open to US residents, 
winner will be announced at next week's Thursday's Treasures

Now onto the party! As you know, Debi of Recipes for my Boys and I have been co-hosting for a while now. Debi and I both have a distinctive sweet tooth. We decided we needed to have someone join us to balance us a bit. I'd like to introduce you all to Christie of Food Done Light. She's got a sweet tooth too but she's more reasonable, always looking for great ways the healthify (yes, my word) what we eat. I've met Christie and she is warm, sweet (I know, I'm using the word too much today) and just as down home as Debi and me. Christie will also be hosting the party on her page and doing weekly features as well as features on Facebook and Pinning.

Now you'll have 3 times the love.

Here's what caught my eye last week


Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins from Inside Brucrew Life 


Apple Praline Bread from Manila Spoon


Hot Cocoa Marshmallow and Poptart Fudge from Pint Sized Baker


Pecorino-Pepper Biscuits from Lisa's Dinnertime Dish

Be sure to pop over to Recipe for my Boys and Food Done Light and see what they featured.
Now on to this week's party.

You can now link up not just recipes but also crafts, so show us what you've got!

You know how parties work, 
link up a few of your favorite recipes and/or crafts, provide a link back somewhere on your post 
or on your party page, If you don't provide the link back, we can't feature you. 
visit a few others and leave some kind words. 
Oh and make sure you drop by Debi's, give her a hug from me and follow her, she's also on Facebook. and Christie, make sure she feels some love too, on her blog and facebook. 

We'll be popping by to comment, Pin and feature on facebook so leave a light on for us.


Thanks again to Fannie May for the fabulous giveaway!
