Color Inspiration: Dining Room Holiday Decor

If you are tired of the traditional red and green Christmas color scheme, try something new! I love this sparkly table setting with shiny silver and blue. Add ornaments, ribbon, glitter, candles and garland to make your holiday gathering a memorable one.

The weekend and a (Christmas) recipe...

THIS POST IS FROM ROOM REMIX - THE BLOG .

Hey! So how was your weekend?

Mine was good. Thanks for asking! :-)

Some of the highlights:

1. I finally got my Christmas cards done and in the mail!

2. We went to a Christmas party on Saturday night and had a great time.

3. Yesterday I spent some time making (and eating) Christmas goodies.

I know. Crazy exciting...

I'm not a traditional frosted Christmas sugar cookie girl, and if we all made them we'd have way too many of those and not enough other things, so I leave that part up to my sisters. When it comes to Christmas goodies, they know that whatever I bring will involve chocolate... They love it (almost) as much as I do, so they're good with that.

One of the recipes I made this weekend is so simple. It's made up of only 3 ingredients and also freezes really well. I thought maybe some of you would like to make it, too, so here's the recipe.

Chocolate Almond Bark Treats

- 1 box Ritz crackers

- Peanut butter

- 1 package chocolate almond bark

Spread peanut butter on one side of a cracker and place another cracker on top - making a cracker sandwich. Melt chocolate almond bark. Dip the cracker sandwiches in the almond bark, making sure all sides are coated well. Place on waxed paper and let harden. Eat and enjoy...

Happy Monday. Hope it's a great one!

Christmas on the Upper East Side

Luckily, I managed to get out and take some photos of the wonderful holiday decorations on the Upper East Side before I became an incubus of viral plague. New Yorkers really know how to go all out. Enjoy!
