It’s been a long time and I’m kind of surprised that Word Press hasn’t shut me down.
I’m back because I’m doing Ali Edward’s One Little Word project, and the word I chose is Connect. And my focus for February is to Connect with Words and that includes cards, notes, emails and to jump start the blog again.
So JUMP! Here it is February, and Superbowl weekend to be exact. We are having a get together on Sunday night so most of the weekend is spent in prep mode (although somewhat while dragging my butt around as I have a cold, the first in about three years) and I run out of energy off and on.
The Superbowl menu includes:
- Pulled Pork
- Leslie’s Couscous Salad
- Fresh veggies (carrots, peppers, cukes, cauliflower and tomatoes) and Fiesta Ranch Dip
- Fresh fruits (Pineapple, strawberries, Clementine’s and grapes)
- Caprese Dip (Pinterest find from EmilyBites blog)
- Avocado Cilantro Hummus dip (Pinterest find from Clean & Delicious with Dani Spies blog)
- A healthy version of Crab Rangoon (Pinterest find from FitSugar blog ) (oops – this didn’t happen!)
- Chex mix
- Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (recipe from Paul’s co-worker Rich, via the Quaker Oats box). Don’t overbake – I did a little.
- “Perfectly Chocolate” chocolate cupcakes and frosting (from Hershey’s cocoa box)
What is done: Pulled pork, cookies and cupcakes, half the veggies and chex mix in oven.
What is not done? A lot, plus a trip to the grocery store. So I should end my small break and get back to it until I run out of steam again.
I want that caprese dip! I’ve had my eyes on that recipe for a while now!
