A Super Bowl Menu Sure to Please Any Appetite

So I’ve heard there’s a big game going on this Sunday? 

Since the Packers didn’t make it this year, I don’t have as much interest, but I do love the idea of two brothers going head-to-head in the biggest game of their lives. And since I had the 49ers defense as my Fantasy Football defense this year, I’m going to be cheering them on.  Considering they were the only consistent point putteruppers (that is a word right?) on my team – it seems only right. 

We don’t have a party to go to nor are we throwing one BUT if we were, I put together this menu from the past year’s recipes and this is what I would be serving.  Feel free to grab anything off of here to serve at your own.

Creamy Garlic and Herb Turkey Sandwiches – oh my mouth is watering.

A Breckenridge Vacation

Have you been wondering where I’ve been for the past 2 weeks?  Well, part of that time my family and I spent in Breckenridge, CO on a dream vacation.  Well, not really a dream vacation because if it were a dream – I would have stayed right on the mountain and had our own private hot tub.  But, this vacation was certainly a middle income dream which was just fine with us.

My Magazine Debut and a Yum Food & Fun For Kids Giveaway

AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Can you hear that scream of mine?  It’s an excited scream just in case you couldn’t tell.

You see the cover of this magazine – Yum Food & Fun for Kids – it has one of my creations on it.

See the animal pretzels on the top left?  Those are mine from a blog post last year.

And inside, you get to see the whole recipe.

I was so excited when I was contacted a few months ago to see if I would be interested in having these cute pretzels in their magazine.  I of course said “YYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!”

Since this magazine has a limited distribution, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a copy.  When it arrived in the mail, I was so happy to see that this is a great magazine for any parent who wants new ideas on not only sweet treats but meal planning, healthy snacks, and party ideas. 

I still can’t get over seeing my name in print.  It’s a pretty darn cool feeling.

The best part of this whole deal is that I get to give away to one lucky reader, a one-year subscription to this quarterly magazine.  If you would like a chance to win this subscription, just leave a comment below telling me what your favorite magazine is.

Nutter Butter Snowmen for a January Thaw Day

Snowmen.  Who doesn’t love to build a snowman?  Even at the age of – well, let’s just say – that even at MY age, I still enjoy building a snowman but the conditions have to be just right.

You know, a nice heavy snow.  About 28 degrees with no wind and some hot chocolate waiting for you inside. 

So when the conditions aren’t perfect or you’ve experienced a January thaw like we did, you have to compromise when you want some snow fun.
