The hardest groups of people to buy gifts for seem to be co-workers and children’s teachers. Most people tend to have several co-workers so gifting each one a $20 gift card might not be feasible. And then there are teachers. The standard Starbucks gift card is always great but not so unique and believe or not some people just aren’t fond of that place (gasp)! So what’s a girl to do? There seems to be one universal gift that everyone loves…food. Last night after Ben went to sleep I whipped up several different tasty treats while sipping a heaping glass of Moscato.

Last weekend my friend & coworker Megan had a Chrismaduation party celebrating the holidays and her completion of a Masters in Health Administration.
