Friday Fun!! Friday Fun!!
What up, Little Leprechauns!!
It’s Fridizzle!!
This week, I did lots of stuff.
I made food.
I ate food.
I reread Hunger Games in preparation of the movie and cried like 5 times. How old am I again?
Jon David got all A’s on this report card and perfect behavior all year so far (all due to my spectacular parenting skills. We even eat transfats and artificial dyes around here!! And he’s still a productive member of society!!), so we let him pick where to go for dinner.
He chose the Habatchi Grill. AGAIN. Because like all kids, he wants us to be poor.
I watched the season finale of The Bachelor. Um…Ben? Your pants are on fire. Just saying.
Wanna see what else I did this week?
I made these fun cupcakes that have a hidden surprise.
Over on That’s What She WE Said, I’m pitting Jon Hamm and Jon Bon Jovi against each other in a manly man face off. Head over there and cast your vote!!
I made Thin Mint Ice Cream Cups. It’s such a great way for serving ice cream at a party and the flavor possibilities are endless!!
Are you a person who likes to read books for entertainment? Well, I recently read a really good book and I’m reviewing it HERE.
My friend Darla from Bakingdom is in the middle of moving (to Portland!! And I’m going to visit her soon and we’re driving to Forks, Washington!!), so I’m guest posting at her site today. Go check it out, because these chocolate frogs have a hidden surprise.
Do you enjoy a craft from time to time? I made these adorable and easy plaque hooks to organize my necklaces. I’m sharing how I did it HERE.
Wanna make elegant little cakes without all the fuss and expense of tiny cake pans? It’s easy!! I’m sharing how I did it AND a recipe for Pink Lemonade Cake HERE.
Stuff That Caught My Eye This Week:
Funfetti Cupcakes for Two from Cupcakes and Carrots
Chalkboard Silverware Jewelry Organizer from Tatertots and Jello
Irish Beef Stew and Mashed Potatoes from Lauren’s Latest
St. Patrick’s Day Inspiration from My Baking Addiction
Well, I guess that’s about it.
Can you believe I did all that AND caught my very own leprechaun? (they poop Lucky Charms…don’t tell that I told though. It’s supposed to be a secret)
Have a happy weekend and thanks for reading!!
Thanks for visiting my blog! I realize you could be doing more important things with your time. Like watching the news or washing socks. I hope you stay awhile. Much more fun than socks, I promise. 
Whew! You got me beat. My week looks like I spent it in bed with my doggy — and I’m not even sick — just resting up. Because next week I will attack ALL my closets. Maybe.
I’m so jealous that you’re going to Forks! I am officially a 12 year old girl.
hahaha-they poop lucky charms-oh so made me smile on which has been a cruddy week! Thank you for that! And for your pink leomonade cakes-makng these next week! Happy St. Pat’s Weekend!!!
What a busy week! I’m just now reading The Hunger Games for the first time. And how adult am I? (Apparently not very).
That’s awesome that you’re going to Forks! I went last summer with my mom and sister and even at 25 I enjoyed it as much as a 12 year old girl. Except I got Forks wine glasses, which obviously makes me more adult :) except my boyfriend refuses to drink out of them haha. But really it’s so much fun, the whole town is all decked out in Twilight everything. My one piece of advice is to take a guided tour. Ours was through Dazzled by Twilight (I think) and it was amazing! They take you to all the best spots and character houses that a true fan would want to see. I loved it and would totally go back.
I’ve been to Forks! I’ll wave at you as you pass through Eastern Washington… unless you go a different way and don’t go through Eastern Washington! :)
I made homemade Andes candies ice cream today, and used the last four Thin Mints in my freezer to make Thin Mint Cups with them, after I saw your recipe. We had a different dessert tonight, but I can’t wait to try them.
The rainbow cupcakes are awesome!
You’re going to Forks as in land of Twilight and Edward Cullen?? So jealous!!
Hunger Games…can’t wait for the movie!
I don’t know you manage to get everything done. Do you ever sleep?
Oh and I love that cupcake necklace in the photo. I need one of those, like.. now.
YAY for the Cookbook Queen! Everything she does is magic! :) Thank you for the amazing guest post, Kristan! :)
Oh my, looking through this post, I see that I “pinned” three of your recipes this week. Your ideas and photos really appeal to me. Keep up the great work!
Jon Hamm will win every time! That man is just the yummiest side of yum!
