This is somewhat different than one of my regular posts but so many great things have happened this week that I am bursting at the seams and want to share it with you! Last Sunday night at about 8:00PM I post an upcycle job Mr. Picky Eater and I did on some of his leftover…
Candy
Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Bars
Today is Top Girl and Son-In-Law’s anniversary. Yep, they have been married two years today. This is my favorite picture from the wedding. **All the pictures were taken by James Freeman and Ami Stearns of Distinct Photography. (the link doesn’t seem to work so look them up on Face Book) She ordered all the flowers…
Strawberry Crème Roulade
A few weeks ago I entered a giveaway at Hungry Happenings. Time went on and I really didn’t think much more about it. About the same time I also entered a giveaway at Food Stories and did the same. Imagine my surprise when one day I won the Hungry Happenings giveaway and the very next…
Peeps!
Tonight I am beat! I usually post a recipe on Tuesday nights but I thought it would be fun to see what I did on Saturday afternoon. I love peeps and have always wanted to set up dioramas with them. Top Girl and I put together the Peeps sign above, which took up about 1/4…
Easter Egg Truffles
Tuesday is my son-in-law’s birthday. He loves Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and since I had seen several versions on Pinterest lately, I thought I would make him some. This morning Chef Dennis Littley, who I follow on Google+, posted a recipe from Imperial Sugar that made the truffles look like Easter Eggs. I ALWAYS use…
Cheep Chicks!
The weather here was in the 80’s Friday and Saturday – today? 40’s. I am not a big fan of winter so I am sooooooo ready for spring, aren’t you? I was reading a post at the Sweet Simple Stuff blog and thought it looked so easy – I could do it and herald…
S’Mores Truffles
It’s been a while hasn’t it? It’s been a strange week, that’s for sure! First, I caught the flu that everyone has been talking about and just so you know, they are not exaggerating. Then something happened to a member of my husband’s family that had me pretty busy for a while – but finally,…
Strawberry Cheesecake Puppy Chow with Dark Chocolate Accent
Tomorrow is a big Valentine Day competition at work. We are having the chocolate competition because it is Mardi Gras and there may be some people giving up sweets or chocolate for Lent beginning Wednesday. We will be raising money for our Employee Recognition. Since we work for Government, there is no budget to…
Homemade Cherry Mash Candy
My dad loved Cherry Mash candy but he was diabetic and could only have one once in a while. When the candy company came out with the Mini-Cherry Mash, it was a very good day at our house. Dad was bed fast by then and I was taking care of him full time while my…
Candy Plates and Wreaths
Friday I was watching The Chew – a show on ABC at noon weekdays. I saw the tail-end of a segment showing peppermint candy made into plates used as serving dishes at Christmas. Although I didn’t catch how to do it, I made a mental note to look it up on their website. Later that…
