Last night we went to visit and meet fellow nesties, Emily of Joy of Cooking and Nikki of Pennies on a Platter. It was such a great time to catch up, hang out and fill our evening with smiles and laughter. Emily made a fabulous spread of heavy appetizers and an amazing dessert table. Sadly I missed out on taking pics but trust me… everything I tried was super delicious! Emily and her mom did a fabulous job! Thank you Emily for your warm hospitality and a great night!

Nikki made some awesome chocolate biscotti too… and they had the perfect richness of chocolate, thanks to the cocoa nibs she used in her recipe. Nikki also played Santa and gave us a wonderful stocking full of goodies of Peanut Butter Fudge, Candy Cane Biscotti and Peppermint Chocolate Cookies. Thank you Nikki for the tasty gift and I look forward to getting together soon!
Sounds like you had a great time and some great food! Wish I could have been there!
Thanks Joelen! Ben and I had a wonderful time meeting you and Louis. So funny you posted my stocking because I’m about to go post about those yummy treats you gave me! Mine don’t even compare to the abundance you made! Can’t wait for the next time…
How fun! If I ever come out to Chicago, I’m setting up a GTG!
Looks like you had a great time! Yay for nestie GTGs!
