Recent Recipes I've Tried
So some of these recipes are brand new and some are ones that I've used before but really love. Thank goodness for pinterest!
Poppy Seed Chicken
I thought this turned out pretty okay. It's not my favorite casserole but it was good...and I liked it better the next day, which is always a good thing with casseroles. In my opinion, I think it might be better with whole chicken breasts or less sauce. I do think I'll make it again because it's super easy but I'll probably change it up slightly.
Peach Moscato Sangria
All I really need to say is that this was amazing...especially if you like peach and moscato...or just fruit soaked in alcohol.
Baked Ravioli
This recipe came from Charlotte's blog. I made this for lunch for the twins and I one day. It was a definite success...well Riggs and I really enjoyed it at least. Jackson kind of ate it but I definitely recommend this. It's really easy.
Pumpkin Spice Kiss Cookies
I made these for the Clemson game this past weekend. I used break and bake snickerdoodle cookies so it was pretty much the easiest dessert I've ever made. But they tasted good and looked cute so really that's all that matters. If you like pumpkin, then you should definitely give these a try.
Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle
I made this for the first time last fall and decided to break it out again for a cookout a few weekends ago. I really like making trifles in general and this is a great one for fall. I use the pumpkin spice pudding that is only in stores in the fall but you can just follow the recipe and use vanilla pudding mixed with pumpkin. The pumpkin spice pudding is just easier...so I stocked up once I found it in stores.
SMores Brownies
I decided to make these kind of at the last minute to take to a dinner one Friday night. Mine ended up being more like a glob of brownie goodness with marshmallows and graham crackers mixed in, once I tried to cut the brownies. So while the appearance (once cut) wasn't the greatest, it tasted really good so I guess it ended up okay. I think this is an easy way to make regular brownies a little more fun.

I made this instead of buffalo chicken dip one weekend. I actually baked it and then drove over to a friends house for dinner and sangria (see below) and it was still warm and yummy almost an hour after taking it out of the oven. I think this would be great to take to a tailgate. It wasn't quite as good as buffalo chicken dip (a favorite of mine) but it definitely worked out great for the occasion and I'll make it again.

pinterest love!
it's been a while since i've blogged about pinterest. don't worry i'm still horribly addicted and i can't imagine how i functioned without it. a few days ago i was thinking how could you have possibly planned an awesome party before pinterest. then i realized that i threw a pretty great baby shower before i got on pinterest. (missed it by about a month i think) so obviously life functioned before this website came into my life. for a while i wondered if i would actually ever do anything that i have pinned. sure some stuff will be handy when i'm planning my wedding, dressing my kids or decorating my apartment. other boards are totally applicable now, like all the *hopefully* yummy recipes i've pinned. so, in order to show that pinterest is actually a good use of my time, here are some of my pins that i've actually tried. i know, i'm shocked too.

made this Sin Dip for an evening snack on Christmas day while we played dominos. it was really good but honestly what isn't when cheese and bread are involved.

i gave a variation of this to my dad for one of his Christmas presents. i bought 2 strands of purple lights and tied orange and white tulle randomly along the strands. i think it will be perfect for tailgating next fall and trust me, my dad is serious about some Clemson tailgating so naturally he was pretty excited.

i have made these chicken and cheese lasagna roll-ups a few times and each time, i have been quite pleased with the results. they are really easy to make and taste delicious. plus they heat up really well the next day.

i made this craft with the twins right before thanksgiving. it was a lot of fun and i blogged about it here.
i also feel the need to mention that it really bothers me when someone's pinterest boards are not properly labeled/categorized...and not properly refers to my standards, not something official from pinterest. i might be slightly obsessive with my boards...shocker i know. however i would enjoy it if pinterest made everyone uphold my standards...one can dream right?!?

tailgating essentials
i love saturdays in the fall because i love all the college football that is on tv. i also love going to Clemson home games. however, i'm pretty excited that tomorrow i can just relax (just kidding, impossible to do when Clemson is playing) and watch the game on tv. I love a good tailgate and cheering in the stands, but everyone needs a break. so, since i won't be getting all dressed up and screaming my heart out tomorrow night (actually kidding again, totally still will be doing that), i figured i'd show a few things that i consider to be essential to a college football Saturday.
food--seriously what's a tailgate without awesome food?
