June/July Issue of Semi-Homemade

I know you guys are going to think I'm weird about Sandra Lee... I'm not really. But when I got this issue I just knew that you guys would love it! It is all Blue and white!

There are some really fun craft ideas... with the how too's. All very simple! Love the "cameo" idea.


And of course the trade mark Semi-Homemade recipes. Look at this cake! I think I am going to have to try it. I just have to say the photos are awesome. I think this is going to be my new favorite magazine. I know I love Tea Time, and Romantic Country but this magazine is packed with everyday ideas that are totally do-able.

I don't know... I've heard it said that Sandra Lee is the New Martha Stewart.... What do you think?

Semi-Homemade Mocha Latte and A New Magazine

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!

Now! Let's get comfortable and start perusing this lovely new publication.
