Around the Web and Giveaway Winner! — Before I announce the winner of the Nespresso Lattissima+, allow me to draw your attention to some fun BGSK stuff around the web. First, all this week I’m the featured blogger over at Edamam, a recipe-discovery engine. Check out the BGSK Edmam picks here, and stay tuned all week.

If you’re already eager to detox, pick up the January edition of O magazine to see In the Small Kitchen: featured in its pages as an awesome cookbook for twenty-somethings who want to eat at home more often.

I also put together this piece about festive but inexpensive finger food for Learnvest - with recipes for Lemon-Herb Popcorn, Butternut Squash Latkes, and more. Other finger food I’m drooling over include candied almonds from Budget Bytes; pancetta, blue cheese, pesto, and arugula crostini from How To Simplify; and bite-sized baked brie from Joy the Baker.

And…as for that giveaway! The randomly chosen lucky reader taking home the Nespresso Lattissima+ is…Bethany. Here’s what Bethany had to say:

Favorite special breakfast: Belgian waffles and caramelized bananas!

Thank you all for entering and sharing fantastic inspiration for holiday breakfast, perhaps the best meal of the year. I can’t wait to cook up some of your ideas!
