Cup check…

peanutbuttercupcheesecake2

Here's the Tuesday Ten: 1. For the last month I have made my bed every day. I know people do this every day. I do not. I usually just throw the covers kind of over the pillows. But I have been doing the full bed…with pillow shams and all. Sadly this makes me feel more like a grown up. It’s not hard to do and yet I never used to do it. :) Small steps. 2. I made this mistake of asking a brand if they would like to work with me. They wrote back "You are not a significant enough food blogger"…I’m considering getting that on my tombstone right under owner of a not best blog. But seriously a no thank you probably would have been the better result. I am just going to assume that the person who wrote it did so while on the phone with the IRS and on hold for 2 hours, on a bad hair day, while possibly being mauled by a Honey Badger and therefore was not in a good mood. 3. My baby turns 13 tomorrow. It’s hard to believe that little fur ball has been with me that long though I … [Read more...]

Oh Fudge…

peanutbutterfudge1

The first time I made fudge I used my mom’s no fail fudge recipe…only to fail. Second time. Fail. And so I went in search of easier fudge recipes. One of the fudge recipes I love to make is peanut butter fudge…very simple and super yummy. It almost reminds me of no-bake cookies which are also yummy. I was sitting around thinking my pants were feeling far too comfortable for the holiday season…I mean I haven’t even broken out my holiday eating sweatpants yet. :) So why not make some fudge. And boy did I. I made three different batches that day. I knew I wanted the peanut butter fudge but really wanted chocolate with it. This worked nicely with the exception that sometimes the bottom half likes to detach from top…which if fine I just stick it back together. It only happened on a couple of them.

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...]

I want S’more mint…

I’ve gotten a slew of emails as of late as people seem to be under the impression that my life is exciting. I can assure you it is not. :) But I figured I would go ahead and answer the most asked questions. #1: What does MDP do for a living? He is an electrician…very good with his hands ;) (bad I know but come on…had to go there). #2: How’s the foot? The foot is pretty good though for the first time in forever (ironically the day I was “cleared” to play hockey…yes I have been playing for 5 weeks already) it started hurting. But other than that it’s been pretty good. #3: What do you want for Christmas? I really don’t know actually. I am in love with this idea but it’s highly impractical for a stuffed animal. I wouldn’t mind Sorrel Joan of Artic Boots in gray even though I already own a pair of Sorrels. They are just a great boot I guess you can’t own too many water proof super warm boots when you live where I do. #4: Does MDP get along with his ex as … [Read more...]
