Short and sweet this evening… today I spent the day doing pretty much nothing even though my to do list was a mile long. Which means tomorrow’s to do list is even longer.
But, this evening I did get a few things done. I started the work on some handmade Valentines’ for the upcoming Valentines’ Day party that I am helping host on Saturday. My Valentine’s Day cards are being made out of card stock, some cellophane, and a lot of my favorite pens. I love a good Valentine… don’t you?
But, the best part of the evening was taste testing some amazing cupcakes that Bee from The Spicy Bee was working on. Oh dear, was it good!

What are you working on this Wednesday?

 

This past Superbowl Sunday I wanted to bring something that would fit into the whole “Superbowl Food” category. From experience, I interpreted that as snack food/ bar food/ appetizers. Warning: This is not a healthy treat… but, it is a treat! These were a fun addition to the Superbowl snack table, but they would also work for a carnival themed party, game night, or guys’ night. And, they are not too difficult to make!

I adapted my recipe from the Epicurious recipe, Mini Corn Dogs by Teri Lyn Fisher and Jenny Park. I didn’t have all they had on hand and needed a larger batch… so, I made the following changes. But, I encourage you to check out their recipe too!

I feel like my weekend ran over into today… still catching up! What started out as a weekend with no plans ended up being packed full of fun and lots of cooking. So, here is my weekend in review. Remember, if you’d like to link up YOUR weekend in review… do so in the Linky below!

Friday— Don’t those pictures just make your mouth DROOL. I’m working on a fun project with a couple of friends that requires a LOT of recipe and taste testing. The coconut curry and vegan lettuce wrap are two of the creations that came out of the testing as winners! We had a few other tasty items that I will be sharing on the blog as the project forms. So, be prepared to see more and more recipes on this blog and tasty food pictures in my Instagram feed.
Saturday— I laid low Saturday… but, I still ended up making these delicious Ham and Swiss Sliders for lunch. Oh dear… they were amazing. I also helped a friend research information on self-publishing his writing and in the process learned a lot of the hoops I am going to be jumping through in the semi-near future. Then as the night was winding down and the kiddo was tucked in I got to work on a gift for a friend. I did several versions of this hand-lettered wall hanging. And, after some Instagram feed back I finally wrapped it up and put a bow on it!
Sunday— Super Bowl Sunday!!! It may not be a surprise…. but, while I am not a HUGE fan of football I do love a good party. I was happy to head out to a Superbowl/ Birthday party. I made these tasty mini corn dogs and mustard dip for the party. They were tasty enough that I am going to share the recipe with you tomorrow. 🙂 Aren’t I sweet?
Sometime this weekend I also did my taxes. Yep… they are DONE!
Many more weekends like this and there is no way I’ll ever have Beyonce’s legs. They are amazing, aren’t they?

Enough about me… How was your weekend?
