Heaven on a Stick!

Just had my first Starbucks cake pop (the pink, birthday cake one). Ooooooh! So yummy! Perfect little ($1.50) treat to go with their insanely overpriced coffee.

Expired: Chex Mix "Party Mix-Change" Giveaway!!!

I have a confession to make - I don't really like Chex Mix. Well no, actually, I LOVE Chex Mix, but I don't like the dry pretzel thingies that are usually a large part of the bag's contents. Can you believe I didn't know you can make your OWN Chex Mix party mix from scratch, and that there's a TON of recipes?! And that they're really easy to make?


Well, thanks to the friendly folks from MyBlogSpark and Chex Mix/Sam's Club, I received a huge box containing three different Chex Mix cereals, and a $25 Sam's Club gift card, to host a Chex Party Mix-Change - "a modern spin on the traditional cookie swap with a delicious and savory twist! With several Chex Party Mix recipes that can be made in just 15 minutes and Sam’s Club stores providing you with everything needed to host a fabulous party, there’s no excuse to not call on family and friends for a celebration".


It's ridiculous how EASY these are to prepare - just melt stuff in the microwave, pour it over your Chex Mix cereal, let cool, and enjoy! We made 3 different recipes - the "Original", the "Hot Buttered Yum Mix" (my favorite!), and "Muddy Buddies" with peanut butter and melted chocolate, oooh! There's a ton of other salty and sweet recipes out there, so give 'em a try!


EXPIRED - Congrats to the winner: June!

Blue Christmas

Soo pretty! I found this in the December issue of Better Homes & Gardens magazine. A miniature tree with blue spray-painted pinecones, silver stars, tiny acorns, and a light blue chiffon ribbon garland. Love the shades of blue!

The best thing about Thanksgiving...

... is the leftovers!
