Soon To Be Chubby Hubby…

One thing MDP gets asked all the time is “how do you not weigh 600 pounds?” Especially after they eat something I have made or they visit this website. :)What can I say…I like food. He does too. It’s one of the things we have in common (which there are a ton more than that obviously). But we do work out and we don’t sit around and eat they entire plate of cookies (though that depends on the cookie). MDP and I know we will never be skinny…and we have no desire to be. Besides needing a little cushion for the pushing ;) we just like food way too much. So when I was on Pinterest going through things I had pinned I saw a recipe for Chubby Hubby Truffles and decided I needed to make them. Mine are a little different in the fact that I stick to more of what the ice cream flavor is like….which is MALTED vanilla ice cream with chocolate covered peanut butter filled pretzels and ribbons of peanut butter. So I added malted milk to mine and added a ribbon of peanut butter to … [Read more...]

Size matters…

It has been a chilly one as of late. Which normally I love though watching MDP’s poor step son out playing goalie on grass that was still covered in frost was kind of sad….and he has an even earlier game next week. Yikes. Those kids all looked so cold. And while they get fruit snacks and cookies after the game we should probably be pumping hot chocolate into them. Growing up (and well as an adult now) I was one of those that loved the marshmallows and the whipped cream far more than the actual hot chocolate itself. I always keep refilling my marshmallows or whipped cream as the cocoa cup would dwindle. That’s the best part. Why not just eat a handful of marshmallows? Because it’s not the same and you know it. :) Since I am pro marshmallow I figured for my first batch of marshmallows for the season (I make them all winter long) I would go BIG and peppermint since I really kind of want it to be Christmas already (don’t shoot me). Marshmallows at home scare people. If you … [Read more...]

1000 and counting….

KitKat Layer Bar1

I randomly noticed that this was my 1000th post. Some bloggers reach that much quicker than me…some never do (so sad that many of my favorite old blogs are long gone). It took me 7 years and 6 months to get to this point. Had I known that I had hit this milestone I might have done something more exciting but alas I did not. I did use up my Kit Kat’s though. :) If you want to be nice and you haven't feel free to like my Facebook page in honor of my 1000th post! Continuing on with highlighting blogs I am thankful for: Blog #5 Not a food blog but a blog that always makes me laugh…always out loud and usually with snorting involved. The Bloggess is not for the faint at heart though. If you can’t handle the f-bomb this is not the blog for you. She also wrote a book which was the best book I have read in a long time…Let's Pretend This Never Happened: (A Mostly True Memoir). Blog #6 What’s Cooking Chicago. Part I love it because Joelen has great dinner ideas on her blog and … [Read more...]

Fudge a little….

At what point does a fudge become a lie? Technically it’s all a lie but you know. :) Lots of people fudge on their taxes (for the record IRS I do not :D). Probably the biggest fudge that women tell is “but it was on sale so it was fine”. But what they leave out is that those were Frye boots and while on sale still cost almost $300 with tax. Opps. Why no officer I didn’t know how fast I was going? There was a stop sign? I have a headache ;) This? This old thing? This has been in the closet for years. Yes, I made that from scratch. No your butt looks fine stuffed into those jeans. I’m sure probably one of those has come out of your mouth. I know it has from me. But does it make it right? No. One kind of fudge that is always right is chocolate. Chocolate is always nice to you…well maybe not your pants size. This was insanely easy fudge that I made even worse for you by adding Halloween candy to the top of it. It’s a great way to use up any leftover Halloween … [Read more...]
