Faith in The Kitchn: How to Make Peeps at HOME!!! (Who Knew?)
Yes it’s Easter Sunday and this sounds absolutely crazy but here’s why it’s not
1) If you are stuck bringing dessert, this would be all you have to bring
2) Homemade marshmallows taste waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy better
3) Got kids? This is a great way of keeping them BUSY!! They will help (grin), assist (giggle) and generally drive you insanely crazy but these are worth the effort

It’s Getting Hot in Here! The Official Grammy Gift Lounge for Grammys 2012 Sizzles!!
I spent most of Saturday 2/11 in downtown Los Angeles– paying crazy prices for parking to get into events. Distinctive Assets Grammy Lounge at Staples Center was insane and I am glad I parked in a memorable location because I got “misdirected” on where to check in for my credentials for the Grammy Suite. So after many stairs and halls.. I finally walked into the white tent and the check-in was a breeze. I met up with some of the PR people and I was assigned an escort!
Note that this is a two part post and I will give you as much 411 about products as I can but mostly it’s a photo essay of who was in the suite– mostly on the day I was there– and what I was shown plus I have a list of what was in the big Grammy Gift Bag and who it went to- so that’s going to be the substance of these two posts– one for today, Saturday and the other for Sunday.
