Fiesta Friday #151

Several times a day, I would say to myself…


Christmas is a few days away! DO SOMETHING!!

I think it’s working. This is recently spotted at la casa de Angie…

christmas-table-fiestafriday-net

Christmas is finally happening around here!

??Merry Christmas, everyone, from my home to yours!!??

And because it’s Christmas, I don’t want anybody to worry about anything. We all need a break from cohosting, selecting features, and all of that; we’re busy enough! Let’s just relax and enjoy ourselves and our families.

Starting next week, though, I would need cohosts again, hehe…so let me know if any of you are up for it.

We’ll also talk more about the Fiesta Friday Challenge. I’ve got some very good suggestions from many of you, and will try to finalize the plan and unveil it as soon as the holiday busyness is over. Stay tuned!

Now, Features!

Lemon Thyme Mini Christmas Cakes from Anjana @ Happy and Harried

“Much as I personally do quite like Christmas cake (at least the way my mum makes it), I can see why others don’t. The flavors of these mini cakes are so very much ones I love and especially in the lovely photos, they do indeed make a bright, fresh antidote to your regular seasonal fair.”– Caroline

White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies from Lily @ Little Sweet Baker

“Do you know a better combination than a warm cup of tea with some nice biscuits? If you think like me, this is a perfect match and this recipe is for you. These look delicious. Let’s prepare them.”– Tânia

Sweet Nut Holiday Bread Wreath from Hostess at Heart

“I know one of Julie’s wreath breads was featured not too long ago, but really they are too pretty not to admire again. I love the sound of the flavors in this one too.” — Caroline

Tofu Mushroom Matar from Swati @ Let’s Cook Healthy Tonight!

“Have you ever thought about combining mushroom, tofu, green peas and tomatoes in the same vegetarian recipe? Swati did and I quite like the idea. Her dish just looks so yummy and healthy that I would like to try it.”– Tânia

Hot Chocolate Marble Pound Cake from Jess @ Cooking is my sport

“Jessica’s Hot Chocolate Marble Pound Cake looks so mouth-watering that I could not resist it and I’ve already added it to my to-do list in the kitchen. I’m looking forward to preparing it.”– Tânia

***

Now, let’s party! Join Fiesta Friday #151 by adding your link. Don’t forget to link your post to FiestaFriday.net. We’re all acting co-hosts this week. Please visit other links and keep the communication and discussion going!

If you’re new to Fiesta Friday, please read the guidelines.

    Wow, Chez Angie is definitely ready for the festivities! It all looks great, the features are amazing – I can’t wait to for it all to start. And that’s just the Fiesta Friday Challenge …
    Feel free to plan me in for co-hosting and general salivating!
    Have a lovely Christmas,
    Ginger x

    • Angie says

      December 23, 2016 at 8:16 am

      I’m as ready as I can be. I have to admit it used to be more exciting when I was younger or when the kids were younger ? I didn’t plan to do much at first, but I kept adding more stuff to the table!! Oh well…its Christmas ? And you’re in for next week! Merry Christmas, Ginger ?

      • Ginger says

        December 23, 2016 at 8:20 am

        I still love it. Living with a 5-year-old is a bonus, but one that is easily counteracted by the resident teenager… All that’s left to do is to marinate the venison and wrap the presents. Have a great time!

        • Angie says

          December 23, 2016 at 8:57 am

          Oh yum, venison!! I’m doing prime rib, easier ?

          • Ginger says

            December 23, 2016 at 8:59 am

            How exciting! Never made that though …

            • Angie says

              December 23, 2016 at 9:00 am

              Well, I’ve never made venison (I’ve had it a couple of times though) so yours is more exciting .

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of my FF friends! I enjoy seeing what each week brings. Angie, I will be available to co-host in January if needed . Also I am looking for a few guest bloggers on Dadwhats4dinner in late February and early March if anyone is interested. Happy FF!!

    • Angie says

      December 23, 2016 at 8:55 am

      Merry Christmas to you and your family, Quinn! Oh, thanks, I can definitely use you in January. How bout Jan 6? And calling ALL FF friends!!! ? Quinn needs guest bloggers!!!

      • Dad Whats 4 Dinner says

        December 23, 2016 at 8:59 am

        If I tell why I need guest bloggers I might not get any. :))) Jan 6th should work..

        • Angie says

          December 23, 2016 at 9:02 am

          Why? What do you mean? You going away on vacation? Retrieving lottery winning?

          • Dad Whats 4 Dinner says

            December 23, 2016 at 9:04 am

            I am going to Hawaii with Christie for our 25th. anniversary. First time!

            • Angie says

              December 23, 2016 at 9:09 am

              Aaw…congratulations!! So happy for you, old friend! ? Kee beach (Kuai) is my most favorite place on earth!

            • Dad Whats 4 Dinner says

              December 23, 2016 at 9:18 am

              We are staying on the Big Isle and Maui

          • Dad Whats 4 Dinner says

            December 23, 2016 at 9:05 am

            I wish I was retrieving the lottery ticket but it is costing me a jackpot.

            • Angie says

              December 23, 2016 at 9:10 am

              Lol! It’ll all be worth it!

          • Dad Whats 4 Dinner says

            December 23, 2016 at 9:19 am

            Thanks for for the OLD part

            • Angie says

              December 24, 2016 at 11:07 am

              Oh you know what I meant…not old old ? You’re in for Jan 6! Hopefully Monika will be your partner. Will let you know.

    December 23, 2016 at 8:40 am

    Angie, the photo looks very festive! I can see you got everything covered. 😀 Congrats to all featured this week.

    I am just a message away if you need my help in co-hosting, Angie. Happy holidays to you and your lovely family. x

    • Angie says

      December 23, 2016 at 8:45 am

      Thanks, Jhuls! It goes well with the festive mood around here I think ? Do you want to take next week, along with Ginger?

      • Jhuls says

        December 23, 2016 at 8:54 am

        Sure, sure! That would be great! ??

        • Angie says

          December 23, 2016 at 8:58 am

          Great! Thanks, Jhuls! ?

          • Jhuls says

            Always a pleasure, my dear Angie!?

    Your Christmas decor looks beautiful!! Merry, Merry Christmas, Angie!

    • Angie says

      December 23, 2016 at 9:06 am

      Thanks, Jasmine! So sweet of you to say. Have a jolly Christmas!! ?

  5. Lily says

    December 23, 2016 at 9:03 am

    Thanks for the feature Angie! Merry Christmas to you and your family:)

    • Angie says

      December 23, 2016 at 9:12 am

      My pleasure, Lily! Those cookies sound perfect with a cup of tea, like Tania said. Merry Christmas, girlfriend!

  6. Monika says

    December 23, 2016 at 9:31 am

    Hi Angie! Great featured recipes from last week! I am rushing to finish my last recipe before Christmas, I’ll link it up when it’s ready. Having East European roots can sometimes be a curse, I tell you, there is SO much cooking to be done for Christmas Eve, never mind Christmas day, thank goodness my husband will take care of most of Christmas day cooking. Looking forward to the Friday Fiesta Challenge though, I’ll be rested by then:)

    • Angie says

      December 24, 2016 at 9:41 am

      No worries, Monika! I think we’re ALL busy! I really admire those bloggers who can churn out post after beautiful post. I do mostly weekly FF posts and sometimes I can’t barely cope, lol. Hey, at least your husband helps, mine is hopeless in the kitchen. One of these days, I’ll make a list and publish all the stupid things he does ? Have a very Merry Christmas, Monika! Btw, I don’t think you’ve cohosted, wanna give it a try?

      • Monika says

        December 24, 2016 at 10:51 am

        I can give it a try, why not? What do I do?

        • Angie says

          December 24, 2016 at 11:02 am

          I will email you the cohosting guidelines ahead before you start, but let’s find you the week first. How about Jan 6? Quinn @ Dadwhats4dinner will be the other cohost.

          • Monika says

            December 24, 2016 at 12:43 pm

            Sounds good, I am putting it in my diary now!

    December 23, 2016 at 10:20 am

    Hi Angie! I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on the fiesta for almost two months!?
    Your decor looks so festive! I finally got my tree up yesterday… and the only reason I got off my procrastinating butt and put up the tree is because I’m in charge of Christmas dinner this year?
    Anyway, very glad to be back at the fiesta❤️

    • Angie says

      December 24, 2016 at 9:31 am

      Yeah, where you been, girl?! Ok, ok, I understand things can get hectic at times. Heck, life IS hectic! But I’m so happy to see you back. And how exciting to be in charge of the important dinner…uhm…maybe ? Merry Christmas, Ai! Can’t wait to see what you’ll be cooking ??

    Merry Christmas!!!!! I hope you have a truly lovely time xx
    (I’m afraid I didn’t get an email again ?)

    • Angie says

      December 24, 2016 at 9:09 am

      Do you usually get it from WordPress Jetpack? Or were you looking for an email directly from Fiesta Friday? Also, can you check your subscription setting? Make sure you haven’t accidentally opted out of email subscription. It happened to me before. Thanks for telling me, and pls keep telling me until I get it figured out ? Merry Christmas to you & family!!! ????

      • Elaine @ foodbod says

        December 25, 2016 at 1:47 am

        It’s usually an email directly from FF. I’ll check my subscriptions 🙂
        Have a lovely lovely day xxx

        December 25, 2016 at 6:28 pm

        Awe Angie. I don’t know what I would do without FF. I know a lot of people come and go, but this group is such a collection of the best people. People that I consider great friends such as yourself. Thank you for all you do Angie!

    Merry Christmas to you and the family, Angie. Glad to see you’ve got there festivity-wise. I’m sure it will all come together (that’s what I am hoping myself, I have a bit to do tomorrow!)

    • Angie says

      December 24, 2016 at 8:33 am

      I finally finished all the wrapping, just in time! Now moving on to food. I offered to take everyone out to a nice restaurant but they balked. Those spoiled brats! ?? Merry Christmas, Caroline! ?
