Food Day

So tomorrow is food day at work. Although there may be some disappointment that I'm not making cake balls.... I'm guessing that they might get over that upon tasting these delightful nuggets....
go ahead and say whoa now! hello chocolate cookies, peanut butter chips, and the cutest mini reeces peanut butter cups.... like i said... whoa!

Baby Shower

Bachelorette Party

So my latest adventure comes in the form of bachelorette party cake balls for my friend Krysti. Krysti gave me complete creative freedom, and to be honest when she gave me the invitation I was a little overwhelmed.

The invite....

 The center piece..

 assembled with chocolate balls....and what girl doesn't like to see her name with sparkles?

SuperBowl Champs Baby yay!

Where do I even start? As a transplant to KC I'll go ahead and apologize to my Chiefs loving friends for my trash talking. Ok, no I won't start there because I don't really feel sorry for that. First of all, I was heartbroken when I found out my girls volleyball had games on Superbowl Sunday that started right when the big game started. Whoever made that schedule clearly isn't American... and defnitely has no respect for tradition. After giving the girls a "life lessons by coach mel" moment on friday about honoring commitments and giving your best effort I really couldn't find a valid excuse or a radical enough illness to not go. Anyways, my good friend Al hosts the annual SuperBowl party. If you've never met Al, you are missing out. Not to mention, he makes the most amazing smoked ribs, wings, and homemade macaroni and cheese you could ever dream of. I'm pretty sure thats why we work out so well, he's in charge of the meat, and I'm in charge of the sweet.
The highlights of this years superbowl for me were:
THE PACKERS WON!
Al's homemade mac&cheese (the ribs were all gone by the time i got there!!!! that's how awesom they are!)
THE PACKERS WON!
Debbie's Pudding Shots (yes you read that right!! omg who knew?!?!?)
THE PACKERS WON!
a recount of a comment by the ADORABLE Matthias (hehehe...he likes my sweet treats!)
THE PACKERS WON!
i might have gotten the stank eye from an unknown chick for talking smart! ;)
ALSO - THE PACKERS WON!
and i got to make my football cookies green and gold!!!!

peanut butter heaven

So...as you all know yesterday was the SuperBowl and I was in charge of sweets. I came across a version of this concoction on another blog cookies and cups...and needless to say it looked aaaaaahhhmazing.... after all peanut butter, chocolate, and snickers...what could go wrong? The original version i found of this was from scratch but i was in little bit of a time crunch since i did sugar cookies too- that extravaganza will be posted shortly after this....
anyways here it is....
brownie mix + the new peanut butter snickers+ peanut butter buttercream frosting + chocolate buttercream = a bite of heaven in my mouth!! =)
