Typical conversation with my husband. ‘There’s a <insert sport> game coming up. What should we make to eat?’ Isn’t that everyone’s first question? Game day food is important.

Need a great dip for the upcoming game? Here’s an easy pizza dip I’ve tried. You could do any of your favorite pizza toppings. Just think a pizza dip buffet….hmmm. Now there’s an idea! The recipe can be found on Closet Cooking’s blog. I didn’t change it at all and it was easy. I can see …

As I mentioned in my Princess Inspired Letters post, I’m very lucky to have friends that let me join in on the fun of planning their daughters’ birthday parties. Plus this one was Princess themed! No way I would turn that down. Princess Letters that spelled the birthday girl’s name, cake pops and Cinderella shoe favors …
Want to kick up your display table? I’ve got a great, easy (and cheap!) way. Just add a background. In fact, I wish I had thought of this when I made a candy buffet for my son’s birthday. Oh well. Maybe that means I need to make another candy buffet?? Hmmmm… I have other ideas for …
