2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Cookbooks

Mozza Cookbook

How is the holiday shopping going? Mine has been online shopping so far.  I might have managed a few little things for myself too!  I have yet to brave the malls.

Cinnamon Apple Scones

Caramel Apple Scones

This weekend I invited my friend Nell over for a breakfast tea.  Nell has been a mentor in my life over the last seven years.  I met her at a point in my life I was in transition.  She spoke words of wisdom and encouragement into my life.
