Did you say CUPCAKES?!?

I bet peas and carrots taste sooo much better in CUPCAKE form!

.....and what about potatoes and gravy.......

..........and hamburgers........

.....not to mention, eggs over easy........

.....or meatballs and spaghetti.......

......add some popcorn.........

.....and don't forget corn on the cob.........

Now I'm hungry.....why are all my posts about food these days?
Could it be because I'm on a diet???????????

They're too cute to eat and to expensive!

Look at these cute Easter Brownie Pops. So cute and they look just like spring, don't you think. I found them at Williamsonoma and to see them click here.

Warning: They are $26.00 for 6 brownie pops. Can you imagine? I'd die before I would eat one. Anyone who would pay that for these little cuties would be INSANE!!

Fondue, Friends and Fun......

Cross another thing off the bucket list. We received 2 electric fondue pots for Christmas with the promise of a fondue dinner being provided. Well, tonight was the night. Between our busy schedules we finally got to enjoy a fun filled dipping delight!!

We started off with:

• Swiss chess fondue and bread,mushrooms, broccoli and cauliflower. Oh my...so good!

• Next was broth to cook our marinated steak, marinated chicken, scallops and shrimp! We all just stuffed ourselves! To die for!!

• Then finally..........chocolate fondue with strawberries, graham crackers, cookies and pretzels.........YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY!

Thanks for the fun, yummy night. We all ate til we thought we'd pop! Good food and GREAT company~they even stayed and cleaned up the mess. It just doesn't get any better than that!!

We'll use our pots often and create many memories!!.........Marla and Terri.....I can see a fondue party in the near future and I guess we could include our hubby's........what do you think? I know NT won't let it happen without him! And, Jeff and Jenny, our next treat will have to be a fondue party!! We'll do it with the fam too........how 'bout it kids??? And Hoke, Diane, James, Kay, Char and Mike? Char let me know next time ya'll plan on being in town and I'll plan a party. I promise you'll love it.

I'm sooooo sad!!

NO ONE LIKES A FROWNY FACE

I'll change it to a HAPPY face when I can purchase Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper, again~

I've included a copy of the email I received from them about their product. Guess which one they aren't carrying in our area?

Dear Ms. Turley:

Thank you for contacting us about Dr Pepper Diet Cherry
Vanilla.
At this time, some of our affiliated bottlers have elected
not to produce Dr Pepper Cherry Vanilla in favor of Dr
Pepper Cherry,and some will be producing only Diet Dr Pepper
Cherry Vanilla.
Therefore, in some areas, it is likely that one or the other,
but not both, will be available for purchase.
Thank you for contacting us! We will be sure to pass on your
feedback to our Sales and Marketing departments.

Sincerely,

Consumer Relations

BUMMER!!!

Thanks to Neeners and her quick response to my need for a good recipe, I introduce to you, the finished product. I can honestly say this is the first time in all my years I made a lemon pie from scratch. I must say, it wasn't hard at all. The hardest part was to keep from licking my fingers and the bowl.........and I have a mighty happy HUBBY!!

Fresh lemons anyone?

I have a bunch of fresh lemons to use up. Any good lemon recipes to use fresh lemons? Newel wants a lemon pie, but I've only ever made a lemon pie by using lemon pudding that you cook. Do you have a source for good fresh lemon ideas?
I guess I could squeeze them and freeze the juice for later.
