holiday grazing

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas over the weekend! My mind is still in holiday mode... there has been a lot of grazing on treats and leftovers these past couple of days... throw in a lot of social eating too, and I am quite surprised my pants aren't tight... yet. Here are some treats we made over the weekend -chocolate covered cake balls and Snoopy holiday cookies. Mmmmm... sugar.....

tarts and celebrities

A tasty treat the other night to celebrate the 'ol birthday... nothing like a cute lemon tart topped with a little chocolate ladybug. While on the topic of birthdays, I thought I would do a google search to see what famous celebrities I share my b-day with (yes, I am procrastinating a bit right now). Here are 10 (in random order):

1. Ashlee Simpson (hmmm, not off to a good start here)

2. Seann William Scott (aka Stifler from American Pie... dude!)

3. Neve Campbell (from Party of 5... I never really got into this show, who's next...)

4. Kevin Richardson (aka, the guy with the eyebrows from Backstreet Boys)

5. Gwen Stefani (ok, my list is improving...)

6. Clive Owen (...getting better...)

7. Tommy Lee (hmmm... darn, my list is sliding again)

8. Lindsey Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac is a bit before my time, but my mom liked them)

9. Roy Horn (aka Roy of Siegfried & Roy, aka the one that was attacked by the tiger... eek!)

10. Chubby Checker (had to end with this one to give the list a nice "twist")

peanut butter married chocolate

Weird wacky weather this week, so today is totally deserving of a treat... (yes, again). This time peanut butter and chocolate married into this wonderful entity of a giant cookie. I am going to try and make this last all day... to feel less guilty of eating the whole thing in one sitting... but something tells me that might not happen!

pumpkin family

We have finally carved our pumpkins! We carved them a bit last minute this year, and sadly one of three big ones we got from our trip to the pumpkin patch was a wee bit rotten...ugh. So, instead I carved a wee baby pumpkin fella for our wee baby. Here is our pumpkin family! Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween with lots of treats! We will be enjoying some yummy sweets (yummy store bought pumpkin and chocolate tarts)... mmmmm.
