Out With The Old, In With The New







I LOVE my new IKEA dishes. Cheap and pretty - the perfect combination.



I have now done 11 recipes from the book and I am going to stop talking so much about it.



I felt confident enough about my cooking that I hosted Daniel's family on Christmas. I made everything from appetizers to dessert. (Actually, Daniel did cut and arrange the apples nicely.)

I love your new dishes. Ever since you have mentioned them I have wanted some too. Mine are wedding originals (16 years ago). Maybe I will treat myself to an after Christmas gift today. Way to inspire!

You are an excellent hostess. It looks like you had a fun Christmas. No question--the new dishes are FABULOUS! Your cooking has inspired me. I will be blogging about my goal one of these days (to give you more details).

Very impressive, Malisa. And you look paper thin and so chic in the kitchen picture. Nice. :)

I like the new dishes, too.

I am very impressed! I think a Congratultions is in order.... hosting a big party is always a task.
