This holiday cocktail will knock your socks off.. Cinnamon Sugar Vodka gets infused with Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea and the result is a martini recipe you’ll love!

Snickerdoodle Sleigh Ride Martini Recipe from dineanddish.netWhen it comes to holiday cocktails, I don’t want the same old same old. I want something a little different… a little more exciting and memorable. I’d say maybe even a little more indulgent. After all, the holidays are a time to celebrate and enjoy!

It’s a good thing that we’re going for the gusto now because I’m pretty sure I read on the internet that calories don’t count around the holidays, so we might as well really indulge in the good stuff! I mean, everything you read on the internet is true, right?

I am sharing a really special holiday martini recipe with you today, inspired by my friends at Celestial Seasonings Tea. Do you remember when I visited the Celestial Seasonings Home Office in Boulder, CO earlier this fall? Well we had some really interesting and tasty “tea” cocktails during our visit. I had never thought before about adding tea to a cocktail recipe, but since returning I’ve been completely inspired! 

Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride is infused into vodka for this Snickerdoodle Sleigh Ride Martini Recipe on dineanddish.net

 Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea from Celestial Seasonings has turned into my every afternoon sweet treat. I love the sweet, sugar cookie flavor, especially as a way to resist the temptation of indulging in something not so great for me. Even though calories are free around the holidays, I still want to be responsible 😉

I’m a little worried about my every afternoon tradition when Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride goes away after the holiday season. I guess I’d better stock up now! Especially now that I’ve discovered I can use my favorite tea to infuse vodka and make this awesome martini recipe. I’m buying extra to give as gifts for the tea lovers in my life, and enough to last me all year! I’d suggest you do the same.

Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride is infused into vodka for this Snickerdoodle Sleigh Ride Martini Recipe Get the full details on dineanddish.netThis martini recipe is pretty darn easy and the result is a unique cocktail your friends will love to sip on this holiday season. All of the Celestial Seasonings handcrafted holiday teas are a perfect way to share warmth of the holiday season with family and friends! Enjoy!

This martini recipe is slightly adapted from the Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Martini recipe.

    I’m more of a Candy Cane Lane tea lover myself, but you inspired me to check Celestial Seasonings website for a recipe using Candy Cane Lane. There was one! Hoping I have everything I need to make this one soon!

      Oh you must try the sugar cookie sleigh ride! I use two bags in a cup for a little stronger flavor.

I always read so much in the last couple weeks of the year, I could never have my “best of” choices finalized. Christmas break is my favorite time to read read read!
.
I’m finishing up All About Us and The Prettiest Star, and then have this awesome stack to tackle! What should I read next? So many good ones to choose from! Will any of these make my 2020 top ten?

Feeling festive with @ella.r.doyle & @kelly_k_doyle ! 🌲

This is the recipe my sister-in-law uses and it is the BEST tasting, no fail sugar cookie recipe. It’s from a really old issue of @tasteofhome magazine with a frosting recipe she wrote down in the margin. I could eat so many of these and never get tired of them! If you want the recipe let me know and I’ll dm you the picture! Is making decorated cut out cookies one of your Christmas traditions?

It’s a book giveaway! I often get people asking me for book recommendations. Talking books is one of my favorite things to do! So when @librofm gave me the opportunity to give away three audio copies of any audiobook I wanted to, I knew immediately which book I wanted to share.
.
@roblowe book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends is the audiobook I recommend to EVERYONE. It is a book I listened to years ago, not expecting to love it, but I absolutely did. First of all, Rob Lowe narrates...so there’s that lovely bonus. But Stories I Only Tell My Friends is a funny, raw, emotional, informative, peek inside of the life of a really fascinating celebrity.
.
I wasn’t a Rob Lowe super fan before. I haven’t watched West Wing (I know, I know), Brothers & Sisters, Parks & Rec, or any of his TV shows, but I have always been a HUGE Brat Pack fan. Well, after listening to this audiobook I am a big fan (and his other audiobook, Love Life, is great too).
.
Long story short, I have three codes through @librofm to give to 3 people. To enter, leave a comment on this post by midnight CST on 12/16 telling me what your favorite audiobook is and why! Also, definitely check out Libro.fm - the best audiobook platform that also gives back to local bookstores!

“I can’t wait for my seasonal depression to meet my year 2020 depression.” 😩

If S.A.D is something you worry about each year, but especially this year, let me introduce you to my seasonal affective disorder game changer, the @sunrisesensations light therapy lamp. I ordered one of these lamps last year at the recommendation of my friend @leslieradams and it is the best (& most stylish) light therapy lamp I’ve ever used. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it...it’s well worth the money.
.
@sunrisesensations has a new, smaller lamp called Bright Box. The size snd functionality is perfect for a nightstand or office desk. Let me know if you have any questions about how these lamps continue to help me fight those pesky winter blues! Check out Sunrise Sensations to find the right UV free light therapy box for you!

Alright, alright, alright! It’s time to talk about how we can support our local bookstore during the holidays and beyond! As you consider buying gifts this year, make sure you shop local for all the book people on your list! One unique and super easy way you can support your favorite local bookstores is with an audiobook subscription to @librofm Yes! Audiobooks! With Libro.fm you can financially support your local bookstore AND buy audiobooks all at the same time. Each audiobook purchase supports the independent book store of your choice! Do it for yourself and buy some audiobooks for friends too!
.

If you need audiobook ideas, hit me up. I’ve listened to so many great books this year that will make it on my top favorites list, including Greenlights by @officiallymcconaughey It’s narrated by the author and is so worth the listen! Your ears will thank you!
.
PS my favorite #localbookstore @rainydaybooks is under renovation which makes it even better that I can still safely support them from the comfort of my own home!

Have you ever dreamed of being a writer? 2 of the business coaching clients I’m currently working with have dreams of being a published fiction book author and cookbook author. Each week we’ve been chipping away at their big goals, making these dreams of theirs more and more of a reality. And each week I have this little nudging feeling inside that reminds me that writing a book was once a dream of mine...and I’ve gotten so far away from that dream. I barely even write anymore. Heck - writing an instagram caption is even a challenge. As someone who used to be a really good writer, that’s so frustrating to me. Where’d my voice go?
.

William Morrow Publishers recently sent me the book Make Me Rain: Poems and Prose by the incredibly gifted writer Nikki Giovanni. This book is full of poems and prose relevant to todays world. I imagined Giovanni walking around observing life, with a notebook tucked under her arm everywhere she went, and writing. Just pulling out the notebook and writing. I used to be that way and this beautiful book makes me want to write again.
.

Are you a writer? Do you journal, write poetry, write for fun, or are you working on a book? What does your writing practice look like? I think the biggest key for me is to just get back to it. Dedicate a time each day and at the very least just write - about life, observations, and more. Writer friends or journaling experts ...I’d love to hear what your writing practice looks like. Tips, tricks, ideas to help get what’s inside out on paper.
.

Thank you @williammorrowbooks for gifting me this beautiful book. It’s inspired and awakened something inside of me and I appreciate that so much!

Pumpkin Pancakes! Do you top them with syrup or powdered sugar? Or something else completely?
.
I first shared this copycat IHOP pumpkin pancake recipe on the blog in 2008 and we’ve been making them all the time ever since. I finally got up the gumption to take some new pictures - it was a blue moon this weekend after all , which is about how often I get that update old pictures motivation 😂 Link to the recipe is in my profile. Enjoy it while pumpkin season is still in full on mode.
