Guess Who's Blogging at "What's on Your Plate?"
Tuesday, October 30, 2012
"What's on Your Plate?" a brand new food/recipe blog, is launching November 1st, and I am happy to be a part of their team! Here is my bio that was posted today on their facebook page:
Food is a big part of all the wonderful memories I have, and will be a big part of memories yet to be made. It makes me nostalgic. Ask me about my dad, and I will tell you stories about chocolate malts and fattigman. Ask me what Mackinac Island is like, and I will tell you they have the best fudge in the world.
Ask me about living here in Illinois, and I will tell you where to find the most delicious apple cider donut you'll ever have. We're foodies. My whole family. My specialty? Desserts.
Hi, I’m Shandy Showers! I live in small town USA, and am blessed beyond measure to be a wife, momma, and homemaker… doing what I do best, for the people I love most. I’m also happy to be a contributor here at GCH, writing for both the homemaking blog, “Saturdays with Shandy,” and here at “What’s on Your Plate?” I also have my own blog, Aprons ‘n Pearls.
Each Saturday, I will be sharing my repertoire of favorite desserts with you… Norwegian sandbakkelse, homey bread pudding, seasonal sweets, trifles, some light fruity desserts for good measure, tiramisu, and everything in between! (My husband and daughter would like to thank you in advance for the deliciousness that is about to take place in our kitchen!)
Be sure to join me at "What's on Your Plate?" every Saturday for a new yummy dessert recipe! They'll also be sharing recipes for "southern comfort," family style, ethnic, gluten-free, and healthy meals! Get ready for a party in your tummy!

It's week four of "6 Weeks to Make Your Home Shine for the Holidays!" over at Girlfriends Coffee Hour! Today we are learning what we need to do this week to finish up our kitchens, and we're putting together our Christmas Planners! I've put together a list of free Christmas planning printables for the ladies at Girlfriends Coffee Hour. If you'd like the list and are not part of GCH, just comment below and I will make sure you get it :) Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

Sneaking Christmas
Friday, October 26, 2012
It all started with a picture of Santa in the bathroom.
Here it is, five days before Halloween, and I am looking at facebook while listening to my Michael Buble Christmas cd (true story!) When what to my wondering eyes should appear but a pic of St. Nick... standing on top of a commode! I said, "LOL What are you doing? Putting a Christmas decoration out each week to see if you can get away with it?" To which my genius online pal, Tonya, replied, "Yep, we are. Are YOU up to the challenge??" *GASP* A woman after my own heart! And so began the sneaking!
I immediately went through my house, looking for any shred of Christmas I could find! You see, we just moved, and many of our things are in storage, BUT I found a Christmas candle, and voila! A little bit of Christmas in my kitchen! (And oh, does it smell delicious!)
It's the little things in life that make me happy! I thank Tonya and her friend for letting me in on the fun, and give them all the credit for inspiring me to write up this "Sneaking Christmas" challenge. And now, I am asking if YOU are up to the challenge?! Every Friday from now through "Black Friday," share what Christmas decorations you've put up in your house. The goal is to be a little sneaky to see if anyone notices. Oh, and we're talking small decorations, not something obvious like a tree! ;) I'd love to hear if anyone has funny reactions! Be creative, and have fun sneaking Christmas!
