Holiday Stackers

November 26, 2012
I'm baa-aack. And before we get into the main chunk of the post, Happy Cyber Monday!  May the online shopping odds be ever in your favor.  Today and tomorrow (the 26th and 27th), take 35% off anything in our Etsy shop with promo code CYBERMONDAY.  That includes original paintings and prints.  Woot!
We had such a great Thanksgiving break in Idaho visiting our families.  Chris got me an iPhone for my birthday so I heavily documented our whole trip via Instagram (@chrislovesjulia).   Here's a sneak peak at what we've been up to the last few days:

It was a wonderful holiday and we both added a few pounds to our frames with all the food with inhaled.  In fact, the only time I broke out my actual camera, was to snap a photo of my favorite little holiday hor d'oeuvre I whipped up for Thanksgiving so I could share with all of you.  Here's how the appetizer stacks up:

Maybe the only reason I call these "holiday" stackers is because we always have them around this time of year but they will, undoubtedly, make another appearance at Christmas.  And now that I have shared the "recipe" (cut and stack--my kind of recipe), maybe they'll make their holiday debut at your house too?

How was your holiday? As much fun as we had, it's true what they say--there's no place like home.

  1. Those look yummy! I am heading to a holiday party this weekend and think these may be the thing I bring - simple, not sweet, and filling. I've made a similar version with prosciutto, a variety of olives, salami, and mozzarella. It's like a bite-size antipasto platter!

  2. Looks like you had a great Thanksgiving! And, those stackers are a genius idea! As in I'm seriously looking for other things to put on a stick to call an appetizer. :)

  3. Adding those to my holiday food list!!!! Not only are they adorable, but that combo makes my heart leap. I could do without the grape tomatoes though...I'm weird I know. But I haaaate the explosion those tomatoes make!!!

My Storage Hack for Organizing Christmas Decorations

Every year when I pack up the decorations after Christmas, I collect all of the garlands together in one box, I get all the candlesticks together in another box, and all my nativity sets go into their own box. We label the boxes "garlands," "candles," "nativity sets,"...which seems great until you remember that you have […]

What do you make for Christmas dinner? Sometimes we'll do a prime rib or a roast turkey, but this year, I'm going all out with a Christmas ham that just looks festive. For this recipe, I made a cranberry-orange glaze with some warm winter spices that takes this ham to the next level. Oh and […]
