I'm looking forward to a short week at the office next week, and helping my Mom prepare for Thanksgiving at her house. I have a new Pumpkin Spice Cake recipe that I made for our Annual Thanksgiving FEAST at work yesterday and it was a HUGE hit. I am planning to take it to Mom's on Thursday and can't wait to see what the fam thinks! This year I was an Indian at our Thanksgiving FEAST and I had the cutest A&M headdress. I didn't have a chance to take any pictures, but will update with a pic soon. Remember last year when I was a Pilgrim? We always have a blast at the FEAST!
So on to the point of my post...
I feel as though my Christmas Wish List is growing more and more practical with each passing year. Don't get me wrong, I always love a good perfume, frilly socks, clothes, lip gloss, earrings, cocktail rings, belts, headbands, and anything girly you can think of. But this year I have more than a few practical items on my wish list. I'm cooking more and more and I've found a need for the following items:
- Food chopper (i.e. The Slap Chop, Magic Bullet, or something of the sort)--because my knife and cutting board just aren't doing it for me anymore! Seriously though--my life would be so much easier with a good chopper.
- Apple slicer--because cutting your apple with a knife is so last year :)
- Cake Carrier & fun-shaped bundt pan--did I mention I have a new cake recipe?
- Deviled Egg Holder--for the one time a year I make deviled eggs. Wait, have I ever made deviled eggs? Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure I need one.
I'd love to know some of your favorite kitchen gadgets.
Here are a few non-kitchen items on my pwl:
- Set of nice, white sheets. Preferably 600+ thread count
- Bath mats for the master bath--we never decided on a "theme" for our master bath and have been living without bath mats for WAY too long.
- Picture frames and decorations for our master bedroom--so I can finish what I started back in July.
- Gift card to Home Depot or Lowes--for those "around the house" projects I've been meaning to tackle.
- More drawers for my upstairs storage closet
My list may seem silly (or even unnecessary) but I want to know, are any of you asking for more practical gifts this year?

That's my girl! Let me know if you need a delish deviled egg recipe - it's Mama Jean's. Speaking of her, she got me the coolest food chopper last year from W&S. It goes into a little container below where you can even store if you'd like, and it's all dishwasher safe - a must!! Very handy!
I was just commenting the other day how funny it is what I find interesting now that I'm a little older and married. Who knew that my husband and I could talk about what color to paint the bathroom for an hour and be totally absorbed? My Christmas list echoes yours...house and kitchen stuff!! I feel old.
I love your wish list!!! Sounds pretty similar to mine. :) I had to leave a bunch of fun kitchen stuff behind, and I'm missing them so much! Be thankful you have fun kitchen stuff there. The Aussies aren't so big on kitchen gadgets, unfortunately.
