Top Twelve of 2012


Reflecting back on the most popular posts of 2012.....has been like opening a Scrapbook.
 
 
I'm amazed at how many things I've done with family & friends,
 
At the time spent in my kitchen...making memories
 
At how many different people and lives that I've connected with throughout the year.
   Blog friends AND in my "Real life".
 
 
 
It once again validates my reasons for taking the time to jot down little diddies here & there on this little blog....


Here's a little recap of what I was up to for most of 2012...


I shared drunken pineapple with my bestie, Janis:
Coconut Rum Soaked Pineapple

Then, I wandered around town looking for Italian dressing seasoning to make this baby:

Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Alfredo


Had some bonding time with my baby girl:

Mini Biscuit Pizzas


Broke out of the sweet potato sack

Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots


Had some more bonding time:

Aunt Gail's Sour Cream Sugar Cookies



 
Enjoyed my son's baseball games while gobbling down this fluffy stuff:
Strawberry Creme Oreo Fluff

Revisited some fond memories at Easter Dinner:
Mom's Best Marshmallow & Coconut Fruit Salad


 
Created that one of a kind apple pie smell through out the entire house:
(and watched my teenager inhale 2 helpings)
Slow Cooker Apple Pie


Got a little crafty with Barn Red Paint...

 
 
 
 
Found one of many ways to use up my gigantor sized bag of toffee bits
 
Toffee Glazed {Cake Mix} Blondies




Made Cake for friend Mary:
Red Velvet {cream cheese} Cake Balls



And grew a big butt :
Butter Toffee {Bandonk a donk} Fudge







Phew!   It's been quite a year!...............

I Wonder what next year will bring?


(hopefully a smaller butt)


Happy New Year!

  3. I made spiked watermelon before but never pineapple - that sounds tempting.

  4. I think I tried that once, Danielle. Does the watermelon stay firm after soaking? I liked the pineapple because it doesn't break down in the liquid :)...It's delish!
