A Cup(Cake) of Good Stuff

How fabulous are these cupcake containers? We think they are just adorable. We discovered them at the Museum of Modern Art store in San Francisco during our holiday week visit to the City.

Designed by Barbara Thompson, in 2007 these ingenious designed containers are made of plastic, lacquer and wood and are a festive way to serve any sweet treat.


You can find them at the San Francisco MoMA store or online at momastore.org - Currently on sale with prices starting at $26.95.

New Year Entertaining

We love entertaining family & friends, especially during the holiday season but it's so hard to do when you have so many commitments this time of the year.

The WholeFoods Market website has made all that easier by offering numerous ideas & suggestions on how to kick up your holiday entertaining a notch or two. WholeFoods shares a fantastic selection of meaningful gifts, recipes and tips about entertaining, to wine pairings and holiday decor.


We've found their wine pairing list to be most useful. It really is a great resource when you need to be sure that the wine you've chosen will go perfectly with your meal. It also gives you suggestions on dessert wines, we like those best. This list is actually something you could use all year long when planning any meal. The Champange primer on the site is also quite useful, we used the Champagne Framboise recipe during our Christmas feast.
