The Dorothy Zehnder Cookbook, A Great Gift Idea.

Disclosure: I will be receiving a copy of this cookbook for sharing about it.  All opinions in this post are 100% mine.  

One of my favorite places to visit in Michigan is Frankenmuth.  It is a quaint little German town that makes you feel like you stepped back in time in another country.  One thing that Frankenmuth is known for is the amazing food, and Dorothy Zehnder is a big reason for that. She has been been cooking her  special recipes at the Bavarian Inn for many years, and has been busy in the kitchen well into her 90s.  She will be celebrating her 95th birthday this December 1st.   Her second cookbook, Dorothy Zehnder, From My Kitchen to Yours is a collection of many of her signature recipes that have not been revealed before now. 

If you ever have the chance to visit to Frankenmuth, you really should go. After stopping for a world famous chicken dinner, there a many wonderful specialty shops to check out. 

There are many photo ops around town. Here my daughter his posing with the toy soldier outside the Bavarian Inn.   

If you are downtown at the right time, you can see the Glockenspiel clock

Seeing all of these pictures again, and talking about the amazing food is making me want to go visit again. We always have a good time there. 

With the holidays coming up soon, now is the perfect time to start thinking about gifts.   If you are unable to visit Frankenmuth in person, you can order Dorothy's Zehnders  cookbook online at the Bavarian Inn online store and bring a little bit of Frankenmuth to your table.

Gift Idea- Save 30% on Coobie Bras and Violet Love Headbands

I don't know about you, but as we get into these very busy holiday weeks, I am all about comfort. There are days that are non stop with the shopping, wrapping, baking,  parties, etc.. that I want to wear clothes that I feel good in.  I got one of these Coobie bras a couple of years ago, and I love it! When they claim to be the most comfortable bra ever, they really mean it. On days when I wear a regular bra, I can really tell a difference. I would much rather wear my Coobie bra

One reason why Coobie bras are so ultra comfortable is because they are seamless. You also do not need your exact bra size. They come in one size that fits 32A through 36D comfortably, and a full size that fits 38-42D.  They come in more than 10 different styles and over 50 colors and patterns.  There is sure to be something for everyone. 

While I have not tried a Violet Love Headband yet, I will be trying one soon.  This no-slip no-headache headband is perfect for yoga, pilates, or just because.  They are made from Premium quality fabric and are super soft and comfy.  

Right now you can save 30% on any Coobie Seamless Bras or Violet Love Headbands at www.shopcoobie.com and www.violetloveheadbands.com   Use promotion code USFG30

You're a Deer Friend Cookie Can - Feature of the Day

There are just a few hours left before Christmas.  Do you need a last minute gift idea?  I have to admit, I may have been at Target earlier today picking up a few last minute items.   I love this idea by Giggles Galore.  She has a great tutorial on how to decorate a recycled chip can that you can fill with your favorite Christmas cookies.  I think I might have to make a few myself to give out later in the week  Thank you so much Mariah for linking up this great idea to Dare to Share!
