I’m beyond thrilled to announce that I am writing and photographing a monthly column for the Food Network! It features seasonal & holiday recipes, fun projects and entertaining ideas that use sprinkles.

Brighten up a gray winter day with one of these 5 sprinkly ideas, like this sprinkles cream cheese schmear on a bagel.

Or, perhaps you’d prefer some sprinkles Snickerdoodle cookies.

Or my sprinkles ball park salty-sweet soft pretzels.

There’s something for everyone! So forget about the sun lamp and check out the Food Network Dish blog for a healthy dose of mood lifting sprinkles.
