Like the rest of the world, Canada is smitten with Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen. She visited both Vancouver and Toronto as part of her Smitten Kitchen Cookbook tour. In both cities, the line-ups were long, the smiles were everywhere and Deb patiently signed every book while chatting everyone up as only she can.
While Deb was in Canada in early November touring her book, The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook hit the New York Times Best Seller list and has stayed in the Top 5 ever since! Is Canada a good luck charm or was that just a coincidence? Let's say it was a little bit of both!

This holiday, I’m looking forward to some time off with my family and friends. Only mistletoe, not deadlines, hang overhead.
I’m looking forward to even more cookie baking and hanging out on the living room sofa reading by the light of the Christmas tree.
This year, I get to go to Ontario for Christmas (for the first time in 8 years) and I get to have Christmas with my dad (for the first time in about 20 years) and I get to have Christmas with my very first nephew (for the first time ever since he’s only 5 months old!). I can’t wait!
I’m looking forward to hanging out with family and friends and reminiscing about 2012.
I also tweeted for an extra entry (@sharibrojo).
Merry Christmas!
I tweeted as my meatballs are simmering.
I am looking forward to having Christmas with my brand new nephew, and my 2 year old niece. The holidays are so much more fun with kids to share it with!

This holiday season I am looking forward to smell of gingerbread cookies and fresh spruce in the house, snow behind the window, kisses under the mistletoe and something magical to happen in my life!
There are many things I look forward to – the festive food (of course!), Christmas lights and the joyful faces all around me.
I tweeted too (@sweetsugarbean_) Merry Christmas!
