Time to welcome in the New Year with these yummy treats. To make Champagne Cookies you will need the following... 2 1/2 cups pink champagne 1 1/4 cups flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 cup sugar 1/3 shortening for icing: 3cups powdered sugar pinch of salt 1/4 cup champagne first pour champagne into pan over high heat and boil for about 15 minutes. Than transfer to a glass and put into the fridge to cool. In a large bowl whisk together the flour and baking powder then set aside. In another bowl mix together the 1/2 cup sugar with shortening until smooth. Add 1/2 cup of cold Champagne stir to mix. (Shortening will be lumpy and that's ok) add flour mixture until soft dough forms. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheet with wax paper. Roll dough into small balls then roll the balls into a small bowl of sugar and place them onto the baking sheet. Using a glass lightly press the balls so they are flat. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Meanwhile whisk together powdered sugar and 1/4 cold Champagne and a pinch of salt. Dip cooled off cookies into icing and top with sprinkles and enjoy!:) Happy New Year!

Christmas is right around the corner and what better way to get in the Holiday spirit than buying gifts for all the people you love! I love getting ting presents for people whether it's a Christmas present, birthday present or just because I want to, it's really fun to pick things out and see the look on their face when they open it up. I happen to come from a big Italian family. I have five siblings, a mom and step-dad, a dad and step-mom, 12 nieces and nephews not to mention my friends, co-workers, husband and his family. The point is there's a lot of people to shop for and not enough money. So so how do you get nice gifts without breaking the bank? Well here are a couple of ideas to help you out... 1. Christmas puns! This is a really cute and inexpensive way to give your friends/ co-worker/ neighbor a nice gift. Take little post-it notes and write little puns to go along with their gift. You could even do a whole Christmas theme basket with small gifts and a Christmas pun for each one. Here are a few ideas. I got Christmas Hershey Kisses in little baggies and wrote "We Wish You a Merry Kiss-mas..." Then added a cherry favored clap stick and wrote "and a Clappy New Year!" I also bought these cute little hot chocolate stocking stuffers and wrote "Have a Cup of Cheer!" Then I bought these super soft socks and wrote "For Your Mistle Toes." Put these all together and you have a super cute gift! 2. Baking with Christmas Love. This one has been around forever but baking cookies is a great way to save money while giving someone a special treat. Christmas cookies are great gifts for people who you want to get something for but you're not really sure what to get them. Everyone loves cookies on Christmas! Every year I make Gingerbread, chocolate chip, Jelly thumbprints, Sugar and Hazelnut balls. I hope these ideas help you out a little! Have a very, merry Christmas!!
