Puppy Chow

The name of this sweet treat is up for debate apparently its called different things in other states. However the person who passed the recipe to me called it puppy chow so I am sticking with that. Its easy to make and delicious!

Recipe
1 Cup of chocolate chips
1 Cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
8 cups rice chex cereal
Box powdered sugar

Directions
Melt the chocolate, peanut butter and butter together ( I use the microwave )
Pour Cereal into a large bowl
Slowly pour chocolate mixture into bowl over the cereal gently mix ( until the all the cereal is coated)
Allow to cool 3 min
Pour generous amount of powder sugar into a gallon ziploc
Put half the cereal coated in chocolate in ziploc pour more sugar on top of cereal
Close Ziploc and shake until the cereal is all coated with sugar
Repeat until you have entire batch coated in sugar and its white.
Once entire batch is white leave bag open and allow to cool

Its a great recipe for summer since it doesn't require the oven

ENJOY!

Blueberry Muffins

I love blueberry muffins and I am always trying to find the perfect recipe and I finally found it. Its easy to make and doesn't require too many ingredients.

 BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

1/2 cup butter

1 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon for topping

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 

In a medium mixing bowl, cream together butter and 1 cup sugar.  Add eggs and mix well. Stir in milk. 

Combine dry ingredients  in another bowl then add this into the creamed mixture.  Mix to combine.  Gently fold in blueberries. 

Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.  Sprinkle tops with the 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bake for about 20 minutes. 

I usually find it easiest to lay out all the ingredients first that way I don't forget anything 

Ready to EAT!!!

I love this recipe given to me by my friend Lexi and even better my picky hubby does too!!

March Madness

Seems a little early but I am getting excited about March Madness every year my husband and I fill out brackets and see who will win. In honor of that I have begun to create college basketball banners, not sure which banner or team I am picking to win. I have a little time but make sure you have your banner in time to cheer on your school or team in the tournament!

Last week my girlfriend asked if I could make some tumblers for her son's preschool teachers and from that moment personalized tumblers have been the go to teacher gift for the last week. I won't show you what the first two or three looked like it takes practice...but the finished product was perfect!

Bachelorette Invites

My close friend gilly is getting married this year and its such an exciting time, as a bridal party we chose palm springs to spend her bachelorette weekend. Since I love any excuse to craft I took the responsibility of invitations and decorations!! I wanted the weekend to have a theme but no be too cheesy so I settled on gold, flamingos, polka dots and stripes!

They turned out perfect!! I hope she loves them as much as I do...check back future posts on the rest of the décor and the final post from the weekend itself

Embossing

Last year for my birthday I was given a embossing gun a couple of stamps and some embossing powder, I haven't used it in awhile and last week I decided to get a little crafty with my embosser. I made recipe cards, and a few styles of note cards and some tags for Christmas gifts. Really loving how easy it is to make gifts more personal.
