Forget football….

The Seahawks lost. I only care because my friend M cares otherwise it’s football. Anyway so no Seahawk Super Bowl for us. For some bizarre reason I equate the Super Bowl with Snickers. Odd yes I know. I think when I was a little kid Snickers must have had good commercial or something. Now on to the important sport…hockey. It’s back. Some of you didn’t even know it was gone. But it was. It starts back on Saturday for those who are interested (raises hand). Figured out what to do for MDP’s birthday…it’s a good one. This week I have more things than time. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Hangs head in shame…the fun sized Peanut Butter Snickers used in these are from Halloween. They are still fresh. I’m mostly just ashamed that I have Halloween candy left…normally that never happens. I’m slipping in my old age. :) … [Read more...]

Trade ins….

When MDP and I were talking marriage but not actually engaged there were quite a few people who suggested that I use my OLD wedding ring and trade that in to get my new wedding ring. Ummm. I gave them a perplexed look. Number one my ring was from Tiffany’s and while they do “trade ins” so to speak but you must spend a minimum of $10,000 to upgrade your ring (yes you are now all realizing that I had a very expensive ring before…don’t come try and rob me it’s in a safe deposit box). And number two that’s just tacky. Nothing like starting your new marriage with the bad ju-ju attached to your old ring (yes I am superstitious). I guess that’s part of why I wanted my mother’s diamond. There is a lot of good ju-ju on that diamond. A lot. I did not know I was getting my ring. I had already owned the diamond as my mother had it put in a necklace for me. MDP took it without me noticing. He chose what the ring would look like. There aren’t that many surprises left in the … [Read more...]

Oh Fudge…

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...]
