I love playing around with recipes. These cups were originally supposed to be wraps, however I thought they would look better in circular form, able to hold sauce rather than drizzling it over the side.
The snowflakes hanging in my window inspired others to make their own.
Kat's was gorgeous.
Brendan's was done, well, blindfolded.
There were several steps in the process of making these. However, the end result was perfect for serving guests.
While everyone feasted, I gobbled mine down and worked on a fresh wreath (from boughs that I had sneakily picked from a tree down the street - yes I'm a child who picks other).Dinner was followed by Scrabble. The course of events during the evening was a mix of crafty, savory and relaxing - just the way I like it.
