National Watermelon Day 2015

National Watermelon Day is here! I love that Watermelon has its own special day of celebration each year! We will be celebrating at our house!

My friend Laura Kelly is an amazing artist and has designed these awesome Wacky Watermelon Printables with some of her adorable watermelon art. I cut them up and used them to decorate my party table!
While I was at the store today, I saw that Pillsbury now has a Funfetti Gluten Free Sugar Cookie mix! OMG, they are delicious! How cute are these watermelon cookies?! I baked them, cut the tops off of some to make them look like a watermelon half, and then cut two sides off to make angles for a wedge! Not realizing it, I picked up the Pillbury Sugar Free Vanilla frosting! The kids had no clue and there were no complaints!!! I love how they came out!
Using Kunin felts, I made this adorable Watermelon Banner! Click the photo below to see how I made it!
Did you see those adorable lollipops in the photo? Those are from Lollipics, with Laura Kelly designs on them. You can get your own with custom designs! They are great for parties , weddings, or gifts!
Hope you like what we have in store for National Watermelon Day! And I hope you have a wonderful Yummy Watermelon filled day!

Until next time….

Super Bowl XLIX, food and commercials

The Super Bowl is here and happening! “Who are you pulling for, the Seahawks or the Patriots?” has been asked by several people today and in the last few days. My answer has been the same every time…….The food and the commercials! I really don’t care who wins the game. I’m not exactly a professional football fan. I’m more of a South Carolina Gamecocks college football fan!

My favorite part of Super Bowl Sunday is the food and the commercials! I can’t exactly talk about my favorite commercials yet, because there are still more to go, but I can talk about the yummy food we have had!

We’ve had some traditional and some not so traditional Super Bowl foods. Our spread consisted of shrimp/cocktail sauce, a super yummy corn dip and tortilla chips, beef dip with pumpernickel bread, pigs in the blanket, a veggie tray, cheese and crackers and celery with homemade pimento cheese!

Unfortunately, I didn’t think to take a picture of the desserts before they were destroyed, but we had rice crispy treats and a gluten free brownie surprise (commonly known as Mississippi Mud)! And I can officially say that I AM STUFFED!!!

My favorite commercials as of yet are of course the Budweiser commercial. I mean come on….a puppy and horses! Whats not to like?! The Snickers commercial! And the Fiat commercial!

Can’t wait to see what everyone else’s favorite parts of the Super Bowl 49 were!!!!

Until next time….

How do you do your Ranch?!?!

Just how do you do your Ranch? I was asked if I wanted to join this fun blog hop using Hidden Valley Ranch packet! It was fun and the result was super yummy!!!

I absolutely love Philadelphia Cream Cheese. We always have it in the house. I decided I would mix the Ranch dip packet with my block of cream cheese. I only used half of the packet for my 8 oz bar of cream cheese, saving the rest for another time.

Fortunately for me, the Hidden Valley Ranch dip packet is gluten free!!!! I have also just recently found Glutino’s Gluten Free Bagel Chips! They are fantastic and you’d never know they were gluten free. My family loves them! And they go perfectly with my Ranch Cream Cheese!

This makes a delicious hors d’oeuvre for a before dinner snack or a get together!

Enjoy!

And until next time…..
