Cookie Monster Pumpkin

October 31, 2014

Happy Halloween! Last weekend, my pumpkin entered into my family’s annual Halloween Party was this Cookie Monster Pumpkin! BONUS POINTS because it was interactive. While I didn’t win, I had so much fun making it. I used a small craft pumpkin from Target, ping pong balls and a sharpie for the eyes, and blue paint for the skin. At the party, I displayed him on a platter with Entenmann’s Cookies and…

Zombie Cookies

October 27, 2014

Clearly a “nailed it” post. These were so cute. We saw a post on Not Quite Nigella for Voodoo Doll cookies and thought they were adorable. We used a sugar cookie mix to make these little Zombie cookies. Fatima did a great job with the decorations and improvised when we lost a few limbs. We had a few mummy cookies, mostly zombies, and human victims. When one of the cookies lost…

These were too cute. Wilton sells these adorable little edible eyes. So we made some sugar cookies, dyed the dough, baked, and then added the eyes (RIGHT AFTER THEY CAME OUT OF THE OVEN). While we loved our little monster eye cookies, we totally adore Lil’ Luna’s.…

Smores A La Mode

September 1, 2014

Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and all summer picnics in between are not a true party until you have some good smores. Add some ice cream to your smores for a cool-hot “smores a la mode” dessert. A few summers ago, we made these delicious peanut butter cup smores… This weekend, we would highly recommend smores a la mode……

Uncle Dave’s Pulled Pork

August 31, 2014

Oh my gosh. Fatima and I love being able to go over Uncle Dave’s house for parties. He’s an awesome cook and makes some really delicious food, food that you go back up for seconds and thirds. For his daughter’s birthday (aka my little cousin), he made some delicious pulled pork. It was a process. You’re going to need to start two days beforehand to let your pork marinate in…

Chicken Guacamole Sandwich

August 18, 2014

Adding avocado to pretty much anything makes it better. Salad, sandwiches, wraps, appetizers. But I’m a sucker for guacamole. A bowl of some really good, creamy guacamole and some chips could last me all day. So we made a chicken guacamole sandwich and it was delicious. We took our Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich that we made last week, and added guacamole. It was so hot out, we wanted something cold,…

Energy Bites

July 28, 2014

Do you go to the gym in the morning? These last few weeks have been an “after-work” kind of gym experience. When I get up early enough to go before work or when I head over after work, I’m STARVING! I always pack an apple to eat on my way down to the gym. But halfway through my workout, my stomach is like, “Yo – where’s my food.” I suppress this…
