Roasted Chestnuts are suppose to be a Holiday Staple ... so they say. | #FoodThoughts #RoastedChestnuts

In November 2016, was the first time my family and I ever ate Roasted Chestnuts. I was 32 yrs old at that point and I truly found the experience quite entertaining and fascinating .... especially since my hubby--the non-holiday-lover in our family--was the one who had the idea to try them. So ... below are photos that I took of the chestnuts AFTER they were roasted and at the very bottom of this post I'll let you know what we tought of them. 🌰🌰🌰 😋

Train Lover Cake - Nana's 3rd Decorative Cake for Her Grandchildren | #BirthdayCake #FromJesstoYou

For my Son's 3rd Birthday (in December 2016) we were in the process of a state-to-state move ... so a few weeks before his actual birthday we were able to be at my parents’ house to celebrate early. That year my son was really big into trains and kept saying he wanted to be a train conductor someday. Therefore, my mother (i.e. Nana) created a "train cake" for him. Basically she made three individual chocolate cakes, made a peanut butter icing to frost them with, and then had a cut out gingerbread cookies in the shape of a train that she lined up on both sides of the cakes ... as you can see in the photos below. My than 3-year-old LOVED it!
