Best Chocolate Croissant at Home, Paris, Fake-Out Takeout, Shopping Trader Joe's & TJ Maxx

[@HookedandRooted]

Happy Holidays Garden Friends! In this cozy holiday episode of Hooked and Rooted at Home (# 8), I’m sharing: 🏆 The best at-home chocolate croissants that rival your favorite bakery🥐 🎁 We’re tackling last-minute Christmas shopping 🛍 🌷 Gardening in the nick of time before the ground freezes ❄ 🍜 And quick, easy, and budget friendly Chinese Fake out Take Out! ⛩ Join me for holiday inspiration, gardening tidbits, and some cooking and homelife where our pup Rocco the Italian Greyhound is always a guest star. I want to share with you the best at home chocolate croissants I have ever had. Better than Starbucks in my opinion, and any pastry shops we've tried. These chocolate croissants have me reminiscing of our trip to Paris. We had our first snowfall on the first day of winter! I was able to get some last minute gardening done ahead of the snow and the ground freezing. Spring blooming bulbs are tucked into the ground, and the dahlias have been lifted and stored for the winter. Now we just wait for Spring 💚✨Thanks for watching - Steph 🌱 (Gardening in Massachusetts zone 6b) #shopping #diy #Chipotle #Cooking Links referenced in the video: 👇 How I store Dahlias for Winter: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roiXpaZ8iayNmaMsi=JcL3JbAZdDPLp1Y_ 5 Perennials/Shrubs YOU should add in 2025: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJTCc6lohr2eacUsi=AL3krpnlzq7mpnPI Hooked and Rooted @ Home Video Playlist 👉 kzbin.info/aero/PLLIVyX7Y1HGFGPuK5EsOnDsWZX9preSuB ---------------------------------------------------------------------- My Amazon Store Where You Can Find Many of My Favorite Garden Items 👉 amzn.to/49F9RTU

Great video as usual. Paris is on my bucket list. It looks so beautiful. I can honestly say I haven’t been to TJ’s but I’m definitely going to make it a priority. I love croissants . I didn’t get to plant any bulbs this winter but can’t wait to see yours in bloom. Merry Christmas to you George and the boys. ❤❤❤ 🎄🎅🏼

Lol Steph I know exactly what you mean about planting the bulbs once it's cold, it's a chore but like you said the display is worth it. Always wanted to try Camassias... Merry Christmas to you, George and family 🎄

7A Maryland here. I leave my dahlias in the ground (about 8" deep) and covered first with pine needles w/frost fabric and then went with pine needles w/cloches . They survive fine and some (Arabian Night...) bloom by the end of June! This year, I got really busy with other projects and am experimenting leaving them with just their own dead foliage on top. Doesn't look great, but that doesn't matter this year. If they survive, I'll clean the bed up (haha) and just use pine needles next year. I'm sure I get less snow than you, but maybe you can find cute cloches or other protection from the water? Loved all the rest of your video too! Too much good stuff to comment on since I've already written a book! 😂 Happy Holidays to you and your family!!!

[@kathygericke8367]

I love the drumstick alliums that I have! Hope you enjoy yours!🌸

[@michellefrance1165]

What a fun video! I enjoyed seeing some of your trip, my hubby and I are planning a trip for our 35th Anniversary 2026. My min Aussiedoodle Scruffy is exactly like your Rocco always guarding our home and definitely destroys every toy we give him lol! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@HookedandRooted]

Thanks so much! I hope you have a wonderful anniversary trip to Paris! 🥰 Merry Christmas!! 🎄

The Joyhound Tough Toys plushies sold at PetSmart will keep longer than a day. They are made with what seems like upholstery fabrics which are harder for your pup to get through. I got my puppy the starfish weeks ago and it still is intact. Rough and ready but intact.

[@dananna61]

We dog sit, they can chew through concrete lol We did grab a few toys from PetSmart today 😂

[@linakhoury6623]

[@lindamiller394]

Merry Christmas.❤

[@kimtoledo6211]

God’s Grace to You and Your Family. Thanks for sharing the tips and encouragement. The statement about the spring bulbs ,being caught up in the buying the bulbs but then trying to squeeze in the time to get them in the ground can be said for A lot of US. Those darn small holes ta dig , they’re not fun. We ALL know the rewards a com’in in a the next Season are SOO Worth it! Enjoy All of God’s Goodness!

Merry Christmas 🥰🎄🇺🇸

[@silviatrujillo2654]

Loved it Merry Christmas great pictures

[@sherryporter8647]

Thanks for another great video. I have a question about planting the bulbs. Do you just have a lot of empty space in your garden for the bulbs or do you plant more plants in spring in the areas where the bulbs are now? Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@idalinaazevedo5007]

Hi thanks for the video!! Where did you buy your air fryer? I'm looking to buy one. Merry Christmas!

[@moduqueRN]

[@AnEmmeni]

[@staciawoods9577]

Hi Steph, heads up, the rabbits ate my drumstick alliums. 😢 That was the only variety they ate. Have your spray ready!
