Looking for that out of the box gift idea?!? Sur La Table is the IT spot to check out this holiday season!!! With a wide variety of holiday gifts and experiences, there is something for everyone on Santa’s good list! ​

From a fun twist on date night to a robust culinary education, there’s a Sur La Table Cooking Class for every cook! If you’re looking to give an experience over a thing, you will definitely want to take advantage of the $15 off coupon for select cooking classes!!! I’m a huge fan of experience gifts, so a holiday date night consisting of a cooking class at Sur La Table followed by shopping is right up my alley!

I’ve always wanted the skills to make homemade Macarons, so taking the Snowflake Macaron Workshop would be a dream come true!!!  In this 3-hour workshop, they will teach you the steps for making crisp shells and creamy fillings. Then it’s time to practice piping skills as we create spectacular snowflake designs.

I wouldn’t mind the Date Night In Paris class either since I’ve been dying to visit!!! With a menu consisting of Cast Iron Steak with Red Wine Sauce, Truffle Mashed Potatoes , Pear and Hazelnut Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette & Espresso Chocolate Mousse with Whipped Cream, I’m drooling just thinking about it!!!! Nothing more fun than staying warm and cozy in the kitchen with my special someone this winter with date night classes!!
​
Sur La Table classes also make great gifts for family, friends, and everyone who loves to spend time together!! How epic of a girls night a would Sur La Table Holiday Cookie Decorating class be??!! Mastering the surprisingly simple techniques for transforming royal icing and sugar cookies into edible art!!!!

If you are new to Sur La Table cooking classes, this is the time to give them a try since they have so many festive offerings and a coupon for $15 off select in-store AND online classes!

If incredible cooking classes weren’t enough, Sur La Table also has one epic holiday sale going on!!! I can tell you right now, there isn’t a person out there that wouldn’t love it if Santa left them one of the high end items Sur La Table has to offer under the tree this Christmas. I know I would love it if someone out there would share my favorite’s below with my hubby!! Remember sharing is caring and I want all the fun kitchen gadgets I can get my hands on!!!!
​

This fabulous Phillips Advance XXL Air Fryer is on sale for just $199.96 right now. That’s a total of $99.99 in savings!!!! I know I have been obsessed with all things air fryer, since I’ve been trying to be a tad bit healthier. I can get the crispy, crunchy taste of fried foods without the heavy use of oil!!!

The possibilities are seriously endless with this bad boy because it not only air fries, it also bakes, roasts and grills your favorite foods!!!! The Twin TurboStar technology also removes fat from foods by capturing it in the fat reducer for easy disposal. Not only does this eliminate the smell of fried oil, but because it’s using hot air to cook your food, you can still enjoy satisfying crispy exteriors and tender interiors!!! It's literally the most versatile appliance you will ever own!

Last but not least, I present to you a freaking COCKTAIL MAKER!!! How fancy would my kitchen look with this Bartesian Premium Cocktail Maker sitting on my counter?!? With $100 off right now, I better see this under my tree Christmas morning ;-) 

​This cocktail maker includes five tempered glass bottles for Vodka, Tequila, Whisky, Gin/Rum and water, which combine with unique capsules to quickly create great tasting cocktails. No more attempting to be a bartender extraordinaire at those holiday parties, simply insert the capsule, select your desired strength level (ranging from mocktail to strong) and press Mix. It’s like having your own personal bartender in your very own home!!! 

Still can’t decide on the perfect gift?!? Head on over to Sur La Table yourself and scroll away by finding an appealing category below!

I did it friends!!! I figured out how to make a classic cranberry sauce BOOZY! And not only Boozy, but boujee as well since they are spiked with Crown Royal Apple!!!! 

​A perfect way to spice up that delicious dinner!!!

4. Allow the steam to release naturally instead of quick release.
5. Pour into a jar.

All things taste better with bacon right?!?? So I made a little update to last years Turkey Cheese Ball!! Bacon feathers!!!!! So yum!!!! So easy to make!!!! Enjoy!!!

​

1. Using a tooth pick, place bacon strips into the cheese ball to create Turkey feathers.
2. Place two candy eyes onto the cheese ball using the tooth pic to scrape a little cheese where you will be placing the candy eye, to use as a “glue” for the eyes.
3. Place a candy corn on the cheese ball to create a beak using the cheese as a “glue” to keep it in place.

Enjoy!

Ahhhhh pumpkin! I swear I’m the only person on the planet that’s not a fan! I just can’t get into all things pumpkin flavored. I’m more of an apple girl if I’m being honest.

However, everyone else in my household can’t get enough of all things pumpkin, so chef’ing up Pumpkin Waffle Iron Cinnamon Rolls it was last weekend!

​

1. Plug waffle iron in and let it heat up.
2. Once heated, lightly spray with cooking spray & place a cinnamon roll in the waffle iron. 
3. Cook for about 1 min 30 seconds. 
4. Remove from the waffle iron & coat with icing.
