28on27 New Years Competition!

December 18th 2012 On January 1st, the hustle and bustle of the holiday season comes to a close. .. Extended shopping hours end, family members go home, and you can finally listen to the radio in peace, knowing that for at least another 11 months, you won’t have to hear Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas” one more time. But with each New Year comes a new start. And here at 28on27, we want to help. On January 3rd we’re holding a New Year’s resolution competition! Send us a picture of you and your resolution via twitter (@28on27), facebook, or e-mail and the best entry will win $100 worth of 28on27 “funny” money to apply to keeping that resolution! (new kicks anyone?) Here’s a list of our top 10 resolutions to help inspire you: 1). Gain Weight.. (hello juan) 2). Get organized and keep the house clean 3). Spend less, save more 4). Take more walks on the beach 5). Stop watching Housewives 6). Learn something exciting 7). Quit smoking 8). Join the Gym 9). Find Love 10). Spend more time with family Whatever your New Year’s resolution is, we want to hear about it. For example, what better way to conquer your fear of claustrophobia than taking a trip to Mexico’s Cave of Swallows for a base jumping lesson? Or what about traveling to Russia to find the biological parents you’ve never met?  Or what if you just want to fall in love, even if it means attending Saturday Night Speed Dating until you find “The One?” The more creative, heart-felt, or funny the resolution, the better! Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. -Oprah Winfrey 28on27 is looking forward to reading your 2013 New Year’s resolutions. We wish you a fun, happy, and safe New Year!

28on27's Perfect Gifting Cookies!

December 6th 2012

During the holidays, most people stress about gift giving...... Shopping for immediate family members is hard enough, but when you throw in the added pressure of buying a gift for your daughter’s dance teacher, the next door neighbors, and the only barista within 25 miles who can make your perfect cup of coffee, things can get intense. It can also get expensive. Here at 28on27, we believe that cookies solve this problem. Nothing says “I appreciate you” more than soft little balls of sugar, chocolate, and flour. Cookies are inexpensive, delicious (hopefully), and they show the receiver that you care enough about them to sweat and slave in the kitchen all day. For the “cookie gift” to work, however, they must be homemade. Not giving a gift is better than handing over a box of Oreos. Place the homemade cookies on a festive paper plate, wrap the plate in cellophane, and deck it with a bow and personalized gift tag. Wrapping the cookies will not only make the cookies look prettier, but it’ll contain any crumbs, sprinkles, or frosting as well.  We’ve included 28on27’s popular family favorite, Hershey’s Candy Cane Blossoms. They’re sure to please anyone on your list! If you decide to bake them, please bring them to your photo shoot. We’d love to taste them! 28on27 wishes you happy baking! Candy Cane Blossoms You’ll need: 48 Hershey’s Kisses Brand Candy Cane Mint Candies ½ cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened 1 cup granulated sugar 1 egg 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour ¼ teaspoon baking soda ¼ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons milk Festive sprinkles or red/green sugar Directions 1.    Heat oven to 350°F. Remove wrappers from candies. 2.    Beat butter, granulated sugar, egg and vanilla in large bowl until well blended. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; add alternately with milk to butter mixture, beating until well blended. 3.    Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in sprinkles, red sugar, granulated sugar, powdered sugar or a combination of any of the sugars. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. 4.    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and cookie is set. Remove from oven; cool 2 to 3 minutes. Press a candy piece into center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Yields about 4 dozen cookies. Delish!! Thanks to! Contributing writer Julia Kirsten
