“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭19:14‬ ‭

Merry and warm greetings from my house to yours! We are supposed to see the sun today, but it is only for a day…it will be a welcomed sight and I will enjoy!

Yesterday, I spent the day in the kitchen doing some baking with my “little princess”!  We baked fruitcake for my precious Daddy and a red velvet cake for our son’s birthday today! I know that not many folks like fruit cake, but my sweet-loving granddaughter loved it! She wanted to know if she could take it home, and I reminded her that we had baked it for her Pawpaw. Her reply was, “he won’t mind!” So since I’ve been in the kitchen, I decided to share a recipe with you all today!  I won’t be sharing either of the ones I mentioned, but you’re still in for a real treat.  I am sharing a delicious and easy recipe that is perfect as an appetizer or to take to a party! If you are a fan of Brie cheese, then you will love it!

 

If you saw my Christmas In The Country post, then you might have noticed the appetizer on my coffee table with hot spiced tea!

Sweet Christmas Table: Christmas Tablescape Blog Hop

~ Christmas, Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭

Warm Christmas greetings and I am so glad you have landed here at Everyday Living! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year, don’t you agree?  Many of you were hit by a major snow storm over the weekend, and hopefully you stayed warm and safe. No snow for us here in the Appalachian Foothills, just four days of dark skies and rain! These are the kind of days that make me want to stay in by the fire, drink hot chocolate, and read or watch Hallmark movies. If only I could have, it would have been wonderful!

Today I am joining twenty creative bloggers to bring you a Christmas Tablescape blog hop hosted by Chloe of Celebrate & Decorate.  You’re invited to pull up a chair at my Sweet Christmas table!

I still love the traditional reds and greens of Christmas, it reminds me of sweet Christmases gone by.

The line-up for the week of tablescape inspiration is at the bottom of this post.

Tablescape Tuesday: Golden Reindeer

~ Christmas, Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:4-5‬

Happy Tuesday sweet friends, I hope your week is off to a good start! Mine is busy as I am sure yours is…after all, the Christmas season is here! I do have an important announcement, so you will want to read all the way to the bottom of the post. So without further delay, let’s get Tablescape Tuesday underway with Golden Reindeer!

The inspiration for this tablescape are the two large reindeer. Ella Mae says they are Bambi’s mommy and daddy and the small one is Bambi. I have had these for years and use them in different places each Christmas, this year they are the stars for a tablesetting!
