https://www.etsy.com/shop/ingrEATients?ref=l2-shopheader-name




I have had fun checking out all these amazing products on Etsy. I can't wait to try some. :)

I have to go get my kid off to school! I will post again soon!!

Hard to buy for???

My grandmother can not walk and doesn't leave her house. She doesn't have many interested outside sports. She doesn't like having pictures, knick knacks etc around her house.

Every Christmas for as long as I can remember, we have bought her a food gift basket with meat and cheeses in it. Last year, she decided it was too much and threw it out, or gave it away. #SMH
I couldn't believe it. She doesn't eat much and that stuff lasts for a REALLY long time.

My mom called me to see about getting little things from other small businesses online. (YUP! I have converted my mom to shop small! )

This is what I am thinking for her gift basket.



https://www.etsy.com/listing/162519882/kahlua-spice-pecans?ref=related-3

These look so good. I might make her share!!! I love this shop.



https://www.etsy.com/listing/150729085/crispy-sweet-basil-parmesan-tomato?ref=cat2_gallery_32

These look good, plus a little healthy. As my grandmother doesn't eat very well, I was thinking I could sneak a few vitamins in. LOL


https://www.etsy.com/listing/94595236/bison-tracks-4-oz-resealable-bag?ref=cat2_gallery_30

My grandmother has always loved game, so this would be a great treat for her!! It looks wonderful!






And since it IS my grandmother, I will throw in some of my own sweets. :)

Oh wait- I wanted to also get some fresh bread and something to put on it.....



A few different flavors that she can store in the fridge, OR even better - I can keep myself. :)

and to put on the bread....



Oh yea baby! I have been dying to try these (and her croutons) FOR EVER!!!

Now, I just have to present to my mom and see what she thinks. I kinda like it. But it IS my idea. HAHAHA

Fudge Shout Out

So, I have a business idea that I am working on. Since it will most likely take awhile, I am going to use my blog as a starting point. :) Hopefully I will get more followers and grow into what my goal is.

I LOVE chocolate and I just LOVE fudge! I am so lucky to know a AMAZING fudge shop!!

https://www.etsy.com/shop/NomNomNomFudge?ref=l2-shopheader-name

She is also on several other sites as well. I can't remember all of them. :)

Let me tell you, her fudge is very yummy!!!


This is her Mountain Dew fudge. My kids just devoured it! It has such a unique taste that is definitely addicting.



This one is a favorite! Cannoli Cream - I got my container and I hate to admit, but I sat there and ate the whole thing.



Chocolate and peanut butter - what more can I say about this perfect combo???? DELISH!!

She has SO many flavor combos to choose from - it would take weeks and a tummy ache to try them all.

You can find Nom Nom Nom fudge on Facebook where you will be able to find all her shops!
