Gifts for the neighbors...

Just moving into our neighborhood in October, we haven't had a whole lot of time to get out and meet all our neighbors. For Christmas I decided to put together a little package of Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies for the people on our street. I purchased some very inexpensive plastic bowls at Wal-mart, some really cute Christmas napkins at The Dollar Tree and some fancy Green Ribbon (to compliment the green mint cookies) on sale at K-Mart to put gifts together. I also included a copy of the recipe along with the batch of cookies in case they just totally loved them and wanted to make some more! (If you have Microsoft Office on your computer you can create a recipe card and print out your recipe on plain 4 x 6 index cards to go along with your goodies). Now, looking forward to everyone getting home this afternoon so we can give out our treats and finally meet all our neighbors! Oh, and the Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe can be found here, at Ridiculously Delicious!

Now, on to the teacher's and bus driver's gifts.....

Happy Baking and Merry Christmas!!

Alas, Mexi Rolls

Could it get any better than this? Maybe, but not likely. What are the odds that this small town in Wyoming, that we now proudly call home, has a Taco John's ? Now, not everyone here has the same respect for the Potato Ole's, cheese dip, Pizza burger and Mexi Rolls that I do, mainly people that are from Texas and just don't understand the concept of Mexican fast food. However, all my Murray, Kentucky peeps who grew up with that six pack and a pound know where I'm coming from when I say Taco John's is on my "have to eat at list" every year when we travel back home. And though we may not admit it, we all secretly get a little rage of jealousy when we read on Facebook about someone's trip home and they have 'checked in' at Taco John's. Or what about when somebody is on a road trip and they post that they have stumbled upon a Taco John's and they are now enjoying something out of that brown paper bag and then us folks that live in Taco...

Superbowl Party XLVI

With the Superbowl only days away, and more than 100 million people gathering to watch the big event in their homes, my goal is to make your bash the party to remember. The number one thing the Superbowl does is bring people together (which could be both a bad and good thing), so fire up the grill and break out the hot wings and cheese dip folks because it's time for some football! According to an article I was reading in a Billings Gazette insert, there are some rules that you can follow to ensure your party-goers have a foolproof time. FOUR RULES FOR A FOOLPROOF TIME: 1. Give guests a choice of party zones. Who says you only have to have one viewing area? Have more than one TV set up and tuned into the game. One can be used for those die hard football fanatics who want to see every play and call of the game and the other for the chatters and snackers. A basement or a media room would be perfect for the die hard fans and then a TV in the...
