Worthwhile reads from the web this week

Here are my worthwhile reads from the web from last week 12/3:

I love the Skinny Kitchen round-up of Hanukah recipes which could also be great for any holiday or year round even. Especially this meatloaf recipe! Comfort food at its best!

The Skinny Beet posted a Holiday Shopping Guide for Food Lovers. If I didn’t have such a tiny apartment, I would totally have the soda maker on my wish list too.

Martha Stewart Pipe Cleaner Reindeers seem like an easy festive and fun decoration for a side table or mantle.

I love a good motivational blog post. “Do what you love, love what you do and don’t be afraid to take risks.I promise it’s all worth it in the end.” On Eat Yourself Skinny, she really sums up the fact that age doesn’t matter and stresses the importance in finding your passion in life, whenever and whatever that may be.

Peppermint Patty Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches are right up my alley. Mint, chocolate, and not just one cookie but two!!! Oh yea.

How gorgeous and classy is this ornament garland?

Sweet and Sour Meatballs would make a perfect appetizer or main meal for upcoming holiday parties. But really, do we need a reason to make meatballs? I think not!

Consider these gifts that give back when planning your last minute gift purchases!

If you like oysters (like me!), check out this list of spots for discounted shellfish!

This is my find from the web from LAST week but still to come, this past week! A little behind schedule since I took a trip to Florida (pics and stories to come on that too)! Happy Monday!
