Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire; it is the time for home.

I’m Jessica and this is where I share my stuff. You will find a balance of healthy recipes, comfort food and indulgent desserts.
I am madly, passionately, inexplicably in love with food. Bacon makes me beam. Chocolate makes me shout from the rooftops with joy. Vegetables and I are the best of frenemies. My perfect world would include none of them.

Gorgeous. I wish Florida looked a little more like that right about now!

All I can say is “FIREPLACE!!!” I’ve been enjoying this Pittsburgh “dusting” of snow. So appropriate for December 1st! Now I can begin anticipating Christmas…though I’ll be in sunny San Antonio in a tank top and flip flops BAHAHA! ;)

I LOVE days like that! They remind me of my childhood when the snow would just start to melt. So pleasant :)

Is it weird I have more energy in the winter? Today was cold and wet, and I hit the gym and hit it hard. In the summer, when it’s 80 degrees and sunny, that’s when I can’t pull myself off the couch.

That looks so cold! You need something like tea to keep you warm!

Yay – pictures of snow! I can imagine going outside in the crisp air and enjoying life. Of course over here, while it’s actually dipping below freezing at night, it’s still warm enough for a few people to go running in shorts in the afternoon. That whole “dusting of snow” thing? Doesn’t happen in central Cali.
Thanks for sharing the pics – it brightened up my day :-)

Is that your yard?? Beautiful! It was super blustery in Brooklyn today too, and is now getting cold, which I LOVE. All I want to do is bake, and eat, and take long winter walks. I wish I had that kind of outdoor space outside my door though…Enjoy!

It looks so pretty! Of course I say that having not had any yet this season and it’s also still early – late in the season I’ll be wishing for Spring :)

Man, it IS December. Time for hot soup and stew.

I love your winter photos. There’s something so magical about snow.

It may sound crazy but I actually miss this kind of weather. There’s nothing like the north east for the holidays. Beautiful photos. Really capture the chilly weather. Perhaps another cup of the peppermint hot chocolate? Also I LOVE your Christmas Tree pics & what a sweet tradition the Tiffanys decor are!

Girl… I’d take blustery over blizzardy any day. ;)
Blessings!

I absolutely adore weather like that. I love snow, frost, winter, CHRISTMAS. Bring it on. Beautiful pictures!

I like to see other people embracing the season… so many New Englanders detest winter, but I absolutely love it :)

You definitely have an eye for photography! I love these winter pics! Makes me miss the north!!

Snow alreadyyyy brrrr! I LOVE this quote about winter, it’s so true! I want to get a cute little picture/plaque for our wall at home that says this… how sweet would that be?! :)

I want snow :( We’re going to get our Christmas tree (unless the Grinch strikes again) this weekend and there’s no snow in the forecast! UGH :( I hate getting the tree when there’s no snow on the ground.

those are some gorgeous photos!

Gorgeous photos, Jessica! I’ve been unable to access the internet for a few days, and I have missed so much! I can’t wait to catch up! Stay warm…next week looks like the coldest weather we have had in the north in a long time! :-)
