tasty tuesday [a day late] and holiday happenings!

so this past weekend was filled with lovely holiday happenings! saturday we took a roadtrip to north carolina for a Christmas party hosted by a couple of dear friends. for this occasion i made oreo truffles which were great because not only are they extremely easy to make, but they also were a big hit! my sweet husband, Benji, bought us tickets to see the Nutcracker at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in Atlanta. any occasion that allows me to dress up makes me extremely happy. so for a night we pretended to be a couple of sophisticates who wined and dined and watched ballet.
