Well, we have a new favorite publication. A month or so ago I got my new Tea Time Magazine and on the cover was an offer for a free trial issue of Sandra Lee's new magazine Semi-Homemade. Now I am a huge fan of Sandra Lee and her whole Semi-Homemade approach to cooking and decorating. Plus she always has a tablescape segment at the end of her show. So I was pretty excited to see that she had a magazine. Of course I had to sign up. I mean who can pass up free?
So I think that it is only appropriate that we make a little semi-homemade Mocha and sit down and see if we like this new magazine. The recipe is easy. Take this morning's left over coffee, put about a 1/2 an inch of chocolate syrup in the bottom of the cup. Pour re-heated coffee in over the syrup and add Half & Half till it is just about the color of chocolate milk.
Stir and Yum!
Stir and Yum!

Hi there...thank-you for coming by my way and saying HI! LOVE your blog...I missed out on your give-away..thank-you for telling me about it. I have that SAME fat little birdy that looks vintagey. I picked it up in a shop in Ferndale, CA of all places. Lovely vignette. cherry
Hi Liz! I too love this new mag and did my review too!lol I really watch the show more for the decorating; I love her style! My first visit here so I must go check out your other posts! Enjoy your weekend! Sincerely, Jeannette
Liz,
I'm definitly getting this subscription and your little "tour" made the decision for me. At first I didn't know what to think of Sandra Lee on the FN (she seemed a little hyper to me) but during the holidays she did some shows with family & friends and she really is a sweetie! :-)
Am going to try the Mocha! Yum! Just looked at some earlier posts of yours I missed, love your hutch and china. Also love your sidebars w/ favorite movies & books. What a fun blog you have!!!
OK, I'm done!! ;-)

I can't help it...I love Sandra Lee and those tablescapes...and her kitchen decorated to coordinate with the tablescape theme! I think I received an e-mail the other day from her company about this magazine, but I have not seen it yet...must get it!
I will CHECK it out. :)
Hi Liz :)
That looks like a great magazine. I'll need to check it out since I'm down to one magzine I actualy like reading now that all my favorites have gone belly up.
I'm so sorry I missed your giveaway. I've been swamped! LOL

I saw someone else talking about this magazine too. Looks like a winner. I really enjoy watching Sandra Lee's show. You are right, her food is great and I love the way she sets up the tables for each meal.
I haven't seen this magazine yet! It looks great. I'll have to look for it next time I'm shopping. Thanks for letting us know about it! Hope your weekend is great!!!
Hi Liz! Nice magazine-thanks for sharing! I love magazines too -and who doesn't love it when they are free!Yipppeee! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!~Smiles~Tam!
I like her recipes. They're great for busy women. I'm going to check out the link from Jill to see if I can get a free copy.
Thanks for the mocha recipe too, sounds yummy.
Take care, DebraK
Just had to comment you again regarding my Sunday post and your comment to me. My "thorn" is my back pain. When I originally wrote this piece I made mention of my last visit with my spine doctor. I know what you go through, pain is something I deal with daily and I'm coming to learn that I lean so much more on the Lord on bad days. Hope your pain is completely healed one day as mine as well!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
I bought a mocha latte today and I bet that yours was better than mine! It was a bit strong for my taste.
