If you are checking out this page in your reader then move over to the actual site so you can see my lovely new Blog design created for me by Smitten Blog Design!

I can’t explain how happy I am with the design and with the entire process. I got to work with a fabulous and accommodating designer to get a site that I couldn’t have imagined. Thank you ladies from Smitten Blog Design!

I am also well on my way to keeping my blog resolutions this year! Number one on my list was all about changing the blog design. Hey, and January isn’t even over yet!

Please let me know what you think of the design so I can send your props over to the ladies at Smitten Blog Design!

Another post coming very soon. Have a great day!

As dessert tables are gaining popularity I added thought it would be fun to have a Super Bowl themed dessert table for your guests. Snacking a football just go together in my opinion. You can continue the rivalry theme on the table by placing treats in each team colors on opposing sides of the table. I like the idea of adding referee styled treats in the center of the table and some cheerleader cupcakes along the sidelines. You can add in items that aren’t sweet but are often found at football games if you’d like as well (such as popcorn and pretzels).

For the Super Bowl main course make it easy on yourself by having guests pitch in on bringing the food. Why not play on the competitive feeling of the super bowl by having a “Chili Cook-Off”… give a trophy to the winner of the competition that gives the feeling of the Vince Lombardi Trophy except maybe with a chili on top. I’ve added some fun resources on ways to do your cook-off, but you could make it simple as having small bowls and scorecards available to your guests. Tally up the scores during half-time.
