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.

Thanks for blogging today.
And for posting these. I love champagne! And the part about having some leftover….nah, probably not.
These look wonderful!! Orange push-ups were a fave of mine as a kid. And mimosas a fave as an adult. These are the best of both worlds.
Merry Christmas, Jessica! Hope you and Mr Sweet & the family have an awesome holiday :)

Mmm…creamsicles were one of my favorite treats as a kid. This drink sounds like it would be great for New Year’s Eve. I’ve never heard of marshmallow vodka but I am going to try and seek it out now. Thanks and happy holidays.

It’s a tradition for me to have mimosa’s for Christmas, I have the fresh orange juice champagne and I am all set, then you go and pull marshmallow vodka. I never heard of it! Now I have to leave my house today and search for it!! I guess I have my Christmas goal!
Jessica, I wanted to wish you a very merry Christmas! I love reading your blog! You set me on my way to making bread, baking and trying new things. Thank you!

Girl, I swear we are sisters from another dimension. I crafted a drink nearly identical to this over the summer while on a cruise. We’d carried on a bottle of bubbly, and smuggled some whipped cream vodka. For a few mornings, we had orange juice delivered to our stateroom, and we had happy hour first thing in the morning. My mother-in-law loved it so much, I bought her a bottle of whipped cream vodka for Christmas :) I think she may bring it over tomorrow so we can have an early morning happy hour and revisit the awesome times of our cruise!

My favorite champagne is almond flavored. I wonder if that would work well with the marshmallow vodka. Hmmm….. :)

The Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula, California makes it. Temecula is too far of a drive from LA for a bottle of bubbly. :) Fortunately, the local Cost Plus World Market store carries it. If you go to the Wilson Creek website they may have a list of stores that carry it. It’s delicious and has a great price point!
Oh Jessica, that second picture is absolutely gorgeous! Love love love! I kinda want a print of it :)
