Just your average day…

First off, if you didn’t read my last post (I know the cookies were not that exciting looking) please go and at least read the last paragraph. It’s important to me. Thank you. And now on to the regularly scheduled post: There have been a slew of troll action on the food blogs as of late. I personally just delete it or make fun of them on here but one of them went after a kid blogger which is messed up. If they get out of control I block their IP address. This last week a troll had a campaign to email me repeatedly letting me know that how nice it was that I just sit around in my sweats all day eating chocolate and getting drunk. And one of the times something about sitting around doing my nails. So let’s address this shall we: 1. If I’m going to be sitting around all day eating something it’s not going to be chocolate. It’s going to be caramels. Either those kind with the white frosting in the middle or Fran’s Sea Salt Caramels (Fran if you ever want to send me … [Read more...]

Coming up…

So I’m a little in denial about how quickly the holidays are coming upon us. Less than two weeks and Thanksgiving will be happening and then the blur begins. I’m still trying to figure out where the tree is going to go in the house. And then there is the whole looming idea of dragging all the holiday stuff out. Don’t get me wrong I love it but the unpacking and packing up of it all is no fun. The other thing I have to start thinking about is holiday baking. While most people do it in December, us food bloggers have to pretty much be doing it now…so that you all have ideas for when you want to bake. Heck when I used to do magazine work I would have to have my holiday stuff done in August! I braved Wal-Mart the other day…and yes brave is the correct word. I know some people love that store…I am not one of those people (like the prices the people scare the crap out of me). I went in search of the Gingerbread Oreo and Peppermint Marshmallows. Which I found both at. Which … [Read more...]

Play Up Dessert with Oreo…

If you look almost anywhere on my site you will see my love of Oreo’s in all forms. So when Kitchen PLAY asked if I wanted to make a Halloween recipe using Oreo’s it was pretty much a no-brainer. I throw Oreo’s in just about everything from Rice Krispie Treats to ice cream to brownie bars to cheesecake. And my favorite way to make cheesecake…mini with an Oreo cookie as the crust. I had wanted to make something using the Halloween Oreo’s (not to be confused with the Candy Corn Oreo’s that I loved) but couldn’t find them. So I went with a mix of Golden (my favorite) and classic Oreo. And to make things a little more festive I made my Oreo’s into skeleton heads. And you get a chance to show Kitchen PLAY and Oreo what you can make with Oreo’s. That’s right… Kitchen PLAY is giving away two OREO Halloween prize packs filled with goodies like: a spider spatula and apron, pumpkin cupcake holders, a Halloween serving dish, Halloween sprinkles and of course, Halloween … [Read more...]

C is for Cookie…

I avoid politics like the plague on here, with the exception of the time when Palin kept visiting hockey teams and accidently injuring players (which I didn’t complain about her politics I complained that she was injuring players). And I’m not one to get into them here today. I am a firm believer that as long as you stick to your convictions and you are respectful of those who do not believe in the same thing as you then you are alright in my book. I did not watch the debate. It’s not that I don’t care what they have to say, it’s because I know it’s all a dog and pony show where both sides make a lot of promises that will never come to fruition. I’m not a registered Democrat or Republican for that matter (in my state you don’t have to designate) but when I did have to designate I chose the Whig party…just cause. But when I was on Twitter I started to notice a ton of comments about Big Bird and that Romney was evicting him and that made me hit the web for … [Read more...]
