Celebratory Treats: Birthday Cake Rice Cereal Bars

We’re a couple of days removed from my birthday, but I’m still feeling the love as more beautiful messages come in, more cards arrive at my apartment, and more big shows/concerts and tours by some of my favorite artists are announced for later on this year.

“Hark! Hear The Bells…”

I’ve talked at length across multiple posts here on ‘Coffee & Chiffon’ and on my social media platforms about how lucky I am to have the incredible and vast circles of friends that I do. Not a day goes by where I don’t feel blessed and beyond grateful to be so loved, supported and happily […]

Festive Foodie: Chocolate-Covered Peppermint Sandwich Cookies

As I continue my holiday shopping and sort out my schedule when it comes to upcoming parties and get-togethers with friends and family (my planner is so full of stuff!) I’m also doing my best to appease my inner micro-management hostess and put together some great snacks/appetizers and desserts so that I’m not showing up […]
