January: The Month of Champagne

For those of you that don't know me, I'm a HUGE champagne drinker. In our household, we don't just bust it out for special occasions, it's more like our drink of choice.

{I just needed to add in this throwback from 10.18.2008} Just see the smiles on our faces, obviously from the bubbles & getting married :)

Anyways... January is our favorite month, the month of Champagne! Even my favorite magazine Food Network Magazine decided to dedicate a page to the bubbles. Here are my top 5 favorite ideas for the month:

1. Make it Italian night: Order a take out pizza and pick up a bottle of prosecco
2. Use an empty champagne bottle as a soap dispenser; just buy a bottle spout for the top
3. Stay in for a date night with Giada De Laurentiis' champagne risotto Find Recipe Here
4. Top cupcakes with festive frosting: Whip two sticks of butter, 3 cups confectioners' sugar and a BIG splash of champagne
5. Serve champagne on a stick: Pour a mix of half bubbles and half fruit juice into popsicle molds; freeze.

Cheers!
