What I Got for Christmas

I always get a pretty good mix of practical and fun gifts for Christmas. I am the type of person that typically doesn't hate any gifts people buy for me. I had some "oh, I've always wanted one of these" moments, and that is usually the reaction gift givers are looking for.

First up, practical gifts! The first practical gift I received was a 2 quart crock pot. I have a gigantic 7 quart one, but most recipes call for a smaller size. I was able to use this already for New Year's to keep rice warm, and it worked perfectly! Next up was a Snackeez. Listen, I know that I am 28 years old. I have an obsession with travel mugs. I am telling you, this thing is genius. I can put a drink and a snack in one package. I've already tested this, and I love it! Trust me, if you don't have one, you are going to want one.

Next, big gifts! I got a few bigger gifts this year. From my parent's I got an iHome. My old alarm clock worked well, but with this one I can charge my phone and wake up to the music I have on there as well. I love that I don't have to keep turning my alarm off and on throughout the week. I just press the power button and it resets for the next day! The big gift I got from my aunt and uncle was an Isaac Mizrahi ceramic watch. It is a light pink, and neutral enough that I can wear it with almost anything.

Sentimental gifts are next, and are ones I expected to get. Every year, my Bubba gets me a nutcracker. This year she got me two mini nutcrackers from Jim Shore. My aunt always gets me a Snowbabies figurine, and I loved the one she got me this year! She got me one with Rudolph and Clarice. So cute!

I received other items too, but these were some of the big ones! What did you get for Christmas? I'd love to read about it! Leave me a comment and let me know!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer.

Vegetable Lasagna Recipe

I made this lasagna recipe, and I think my grandma declared it the best thing she's ever eaten. She kept going back to the dish, and cutting off a small slice. Each time she would say, "This is so good!" So, if only she liked it, my day was made. However, every member of my family loved this dish, and I know you will too! It is a perfect way to use up Summer vegetables, and enjoy a delicious meal! My comments are in italics!
