Bump

Finally getting a bump around here. ...

Happy Weekend!!

Ahhh

There's just something about it.

The smell of honey suckle and salt air

The sound of cicadas and tree frogs

The sunsets and water views

Took me long enough to appreciate this place

But pretty proud to call it Home.

Oh did I tell you my Mom just takes off from the backyard and stand up paddle boards now?

She's a bad ass.

I Guess This Makes It Official

Jiminy Crickets

Have you ever seen a more adorable Valentine's Day card?

Me Neither!

That's Skylar Grace

Her Mom's got it goin on.

Why Yes

I am the type of person who goes to a doggie bakery and purchases a peanut butter cupcake for my dog's birthday

She's 10

She deserves it
(that's 70 in dog years)

She told me she's planning on moving to Boca to spend her days playing shuffle board and dining on early bird specials

I can't blame her after the blizzard we had this weekend

Maybe i'll join her.

Happy Birthday Lu-dog!

Happy Birthday Momma!

(There she is in all her 'Gigi' glory)

On your birthday, I think it's appropriate to tell you

even though it stings a little coming from my lips

that

you

are

usually

always....

RIGHT

(most of the time)

Okay 80% of the time

Okay 90, 90% is my max

(Maybe 95)

Just thought you should hear it

as much  as I have fought you about it over the years

ARGH.

Love you so much Mom.

You make my heart smile and I am so lucky that in all the universe,
I am lucky enough to call you my 

MOMMA

Holy Cannoli

So I may have made this Cannoli Dip from Mama Basirico's recipe book for

my friend's Surprise Party this weekend

And it may have been a hit.

I also may have bailed on a Super Bowl party, and watched 'Girls' instead

Whilst eating left overs of said dip

Very wise decision on my part

(do you see my Vday decor on the mantle?)

I'm so crafty.

Survey says you should probably make this dip for Valentines Day for your significant other.

Much easier than the cake pops I attempted to make this weekend as well.

Are you worried I'm getting to be a chubster with all this baking?

You probably should be.

Cannoli Dip

1 cup of Ricotta Cheese

1 Cup of Mascarpone Cheese

1 Cup of Cream Cheese

1 tps of Vanilla Extract

1 Cup (or more) of Chocolate Chips

1 Cup of Confectioners Sugar

Mix Together and Serve with Waffle Cone Pieces

SO. GOOD.

Please join me in my quest for obesity.
