This year, I bought a printable online for $5. It was exactly what I was looking for...Bible verse, chalkboard background, etc. I shared it with my sister and my mom, so we all have one now!<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Stuart and I recently celebrated our 2nd anniversary! Two years?? It goes by so fast!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We wanted to do something fun for dinner so we tried Moroccan food. Yum!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I found a Groupon (this place is expensive!) for the restaurant, <a href="http://www.imperialfez.com/" target="_blank">Imperial Fez.</a> We had a five course meal, belly-dancing included. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Upon arriving, you take your shoes off. (I did not like this part...mainly because I have a foot thing and because I forgot socks.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Note: I apologize for the terrible photos. It was dark inside and let's face it, I was sitting on the floor.</span><br />

I was introduced to Annie Sloan Paint a few years ago by a dear friend, and I've been hooked ever since! It's a chalk paint so the best part is that you don't have to sand, prime, prep, etc. before you paint! Umm, what?!<br />
<br />
Stuart's mom let me have this small side cabinet so I wanted to make it a side table for our spare bedroom. It was wood and needed some TLC. I used the Old White and Coco colors. I'm currently obsessed with the Coco color..it's a warm light brown.<br />

<br />
I have cool friends. Bethany, one of my favorite people I ever met at Auburn, and her husband, Dave, equally as cool, decided to travel the world on a bike. That's right...on a bike (or plane or train when needed).<br />
<br />
They planned for years and took off. This weekend, they finally got home. I have missed my friend! Luckily, Stuart and I were in town, and we were able to ride their last 7 miles to "home".<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures.<br />

Day In.</div>
<br />
It's been a while. Somehow, this summer has gone by very quickly, and we seem to be busy most weekends.<br />
<br />
In July, I threw a party for Stuart since he was turning the big 3-0. I wanted it to be about his favorite things...so I invited close friends and family, catered BBQ, had a keg of Blue Moon and Bundt cake for dessert. There were yard games of cornhole and "white-trash frisbee", both two of his favorites. The weather was surprisingly perfect for an outdoor party.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures. It was a lot of fun!<br />

We had a great time. More people came, we just didn't have photos of everyone. Overall it was fun and pretty easy to plan. Thanks to my mom and sister for all their help; to Stuart for cutting the grass; Bo and Sarah for the Kegerator; Mrs. Day for the Mason jars; and everyone for writing him a letter!<br />

<br />
I recently took a new job at a medical real estate office. I am loving it! It was a long and crazy story of how I got the job...mostly, God knew exactly what He was doing. The wife of one of Stuart's co-workers was leaving her job (at the real estate firm) because they were adopting twins from China! It has been amazing to watch their process and the love they showed to the girls before they even got them.<br />
<br />
I recently brought them dinner, only one week after they got back from China. Needless to say, they are tired. Understandably so. But also, so incredibly blessed, as they put it.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple pictures from my visit. I can't wait to go back!<br />

This blog is not going to be the most exciting for the majority of people, but as my 30th birthday is approaching, I've come to accept that I'm getting older. I told my friend who just purchased a house that he will realize he is old now, because he will be excited about getting things like rakes for Christmas or his birthday. I realized this has never been more true for me, when I spent all day on a Saturday pressure washing our driveway and my joy in this subtle difference this created.<br />
<br />
I must first thank my dad for letting me borrow his pressure washer. It's a Clean Force 1800 PSI. For my driveway, I used the 15 degree nozzle to really get it clean, and followed up with the 40 degree nozzle to get off all the excess. Without further ado, here is a picture of the magical machine:<br />

In the picture, you may have noticed a bottle to the left. This is "Krud Kutter", which is supposed to help, but started without it and realized it wasn't needed for this job.<br />
<br />
I knew our driveway was dirty, but I had no idea how dirty until I started washing it.<br />

This is about when I went inside to get Anna to come look at how awesome it was. She couldn't tell where I had cleaned. :(<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She thought that part of the driveway was wet, and not dirty. Because of this, I thought of you, faithful blog readers, and took a picture to prove that it wasn't just that part of the driveway was wet. It was also to let out some of my inner child.</div>

It was time to make a treat for my sweet puppy. I wanted to share a super easy recipe for dogs! They love them.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Bonnie and Angus Cookies (aka Peanut Butter Dog Cookies)</b></u><br />
2 cups whole wheat flour<br />
1 cup whole milk<br />
1 cup peanut butter<br />
1 tsp. baking powder<br />
<br />
Roll into balls. Flatten on a pan with a fork. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.<br />

Since then, Anna hosted small group at our house. One of the girls mentioned she really liked it and asked Anna where she got it. Her husband, who is also a minister at our church, found out and asked if I could make one for his wife for Christmas. So I did.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Then a few of our friends made some requests for their parents for Christmas. It started off with another state...<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Then it got a little different. Someone from work asked for a "Fast P".<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div>
Apparently, people like these things. I already have two more orders pending - Indiana and a Tennessee. Once they are complete, I'll post those here for your viewing pleasure. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And in related news, Anna, who doubles as my manager, signed me up for an Arts and Crafts festival at our church. Hopefully, this will generate more interest. But all orders will have to go through Anna because I think it could ruin my reputation as an artist if I show interest in selling them for CA$H MONEY.</div>

<br />
My sister and I try to do something together on Wednesday nights, since the guys do trivia. We opted to dine in with food from our favorite Mexican place (Verde) and do some cooking.<br />
<br />
Rebecca made some delicious and healthy <a href="http://www.pbfingers.com/2011/06/14/peanut-butter-granola/" target="_blank">granola with peanut butter</a>. Yum!<br />
<br />
And because we never follow a recipe, she added dried cranberries and pecans.<br />

When Stuart bought the house, it came with an old black bench out front. Nothing was necessarily wrong with it...but of course, I was itching to change it. I needed some color!<br />

<br />
One Sunday, I decided to try a "detox smoothie" for lunch. We've never tried one, and we usually aren't smoothie peops. I have to say, it wasn't that bad! :) Stuart has since made others.<br />
<br />
Bottoms up!<br />

<br />
I never really follow through on my New Year's resolutions...maybe ever. So I thought I would make one that would be pretty easy to stick to. Since we love food, and I (Anna) love to cook, I would try new recipes this year.<br />
<br />
I don't have any pictures, but I thought I would share some of the recipes I have tried so far!<br />
<br />
<u>Sweet Potato Pancakes</u><br />
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/40-a-day/sweet-potato-pancakes-recipe/index.html<br />
<br />
Verdict: I realized that I am not a fan of pancakes all that much...especially making them. Especially when you have guests, and pancakes forbid you to leave their side. These were ok...a little dense for my liking. But a nice way to use a sweet potato!<br />
<br />
<u>Homemade Pizza Dough</u><br />
This always seemed scary for me...using yeast and making dough. But it was super easy! And now I shall never go back to that stuff in the twist can.<br />
<br />
http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/09/fig-prosciutto-pizza-with-arugula/<br />
<br />
Stu and I love figs so this combo of fig spread with prosciutto was amazing. (p.s. Fresh Market had the BEST fig spread. You could spread it on a shoe, and it would be tasty....)<br />
<br />
<u>Tomato-Glazed Meatloaves from Smitten Kitchen</u><br />
I love <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/" target="_blank">her blog</a> so I bought her new cookbook...it's pretty awesome. I don't think the recipe is on her website. Stu LOVED this. I did not...maybe it would taste better to me if I didn't have to make it. The flavors were good.<br />
<br />
<u>Fried Chicken with White Gravy from Tupelo Honey Cafe</u><br />
After we spent our anniversary in <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/09/fig-prosciutto-pizza-with-arugula/" target="_blank">Asheville</a>, my mom gave me a cookbook from the Tupelo Honey Cafe. So I decided to whip up my first ever fried chicken...delicious! It has crushed nuts as the batter...really good with the gravy. And most importantly, I got to use my new thermometer to fry the chicken.<br />
<br />
<u>Chicken Salad with Cilantro and Avocado</u><br />
http://relishscd.blogspot.ca/2012/11/avacado-chicken-salad-scd-paleo.html<br />
<br />
This was yummy...and super healthy. Anything with avocado or cilantro is fine with me.<br />
<br />
<u>Slow-Cooker Herbed Balsamic Pork Roast</u><br />
http://www.cafejohnsonia.com/2013/01/slow-cooker-herbed-balsamic-pork-roast.html<br />
<br />
This was good. It actually tasted better the next day. We just shredded the meat in the sauce, after I strained and reduced it. Yum!<br />
<br />
<br />
~~~~~~<br />
<br />
Sorry that there are no pictures...I failed to take them. Let me know if anyone wants a recipe that I didn't have a link to.<br />
<br />

<br />
Remember when we started to write down memories from<a href="http://annaandstuart.blogspot.com/2012/01/mason-jar-memories.html" target="_blank"> last year</a>? Well we got to open the jar and read them out loud! It was a lot of fun...though judging from the picture, it looks like we didn't make many memories last year. hehe<br />

<br />
And...we're back. Sorry for the delay. I'm sure all the couple of readers were highly disappointed :)<br />
<br />
It's the most wonderful time of the year! I love Christmas...the excitement, time with family, celebrating the birth of Christ.<br />
<br />
Here's our tree this year. I found a roll of burlap at Michael's so I wrapped some around the tree. And we put the tree in the dining room for a change.<br />

<br />
Stuart loves our animal print chair. (I wanted to recover in something amazing and grey...) But since he does love it, I decided to keep it cow print, for now.<br />
<br />
It's a wonderful, sturdy chair. All it needed was some new edging/piping around the fabric (not sure if that is the correct technical term).<br />
<br />
Here is the chair after I took off the old piping.<br />
<br />
(I wish it didn't need the piping but there is a lot of old glue around the fabric)<br />

Day In. This is a long one...</div>
<br />
Two weekends ago, we went to Asheville, NC for our one year anniversary trip. It's hard to believe that we have already been married a year! We went up on a Thursday night and stayed through Sunday. We stayed at Hotel Indigo, which was really close to downtown and made the weekend vary walk-able. While we were there, we did a lot of exploring and had a really good time. We had a few things we knew we wanted to do while we were there, but we were also open to suggestions.<br />
<br />
Rebecca, Anna's sister, saw an article in Martha Stewart Living (October issue) about Asheville with a list of things to do. We took it along in case we needed ideas...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The first thing on our list of things to do was to see the Biltmore House. We got tickets and went early Friday morning and toured the house and explored the grounds. It was amazing. And to think all of it was constructed before modern construction techniques were available. We started off by touring the house. Unfortunately, you can't take pictures inside, so here are some pictures of the outside. Obviously, this was in the Martha Stewart magazine.<br />

As we toured the house, I'm pretty sure Anna got annoyed with me reading the description and facts about each room. I think some of the other guests sort of enjoyed having me as a free tour guide.<br />

The wait took forever though, so if you go, just know the wait will be over an hour. Luckily for us, we weren't super hungry and it was Friday night, which apparently means the drugged out hippies have a drum circle across the street at the park.<br />

Saturday, we tried to eat at "12 Bones". This was recommended by our server at Tupelo Honey and Martha Stewart. I also heard that President Obama ate there once. I don't know if that's true. One thing I do know, is that it's closed on Saturday and Sunday. Strange. Since it's in the "River Arts District", we looked for a place that was close to eat. Luckily for us, Martha also recommended "The White Duck Taco Company". So we headed that way.<br />

Here are some photos.<br />

<br />
I (Stuart) am dedicating this blog post to my good buddy, Bob. He mentioned to me this weekend, at Jay and Rebecca's wedding (congrats to y'all!), that he really loved the blog. So how can I not show love for a fan?!? This one is for you, Bob!<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago, Anna brought home some pallets from her work. Apparently they get a couple of pallets a month, and need to get rid of them. Because of Pinterest, I thought I could surely make something cool out of one. My cousin, Lindsay, gave me an <a href="http://www.yourewelcomesavannah.com/2012/07/cocktails-and-crafting-diy-flag-pallet.html" target="_blank">idea</a> that I want to do at some point (maybe next Forth of July) from her cool blog, <a href="http://www.yourewelcomesavannah.com/" target="_blank">You're Welcome Savannah</a>. In order to call it art (and not plagiarism), I feel like it has to be original. So the following is my attempt at Pallet Art.<br />
<br />
I started with just a plain old pallet...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztHGmZUoFs2sHzaQIuF8sa-pLmoWRFG28GqfjsQQvQntBkibzqZvwVMdFNFOzJC3lBQtG3EW76sY7ijf0EAQzmXfncZ92BVbc8UyRUJMdE3x6qU-CMTBDks22c2GM5klWrQwWqUQMDkg/s1600/DSC01809.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztHGmZUoFs2sHzaQIuF8sa-pLmoWRFG28GqfjsQQvQntBkibzqZvwVMdFNFOzJC3lBQtG3EW76sY7ijf0EAQzmXfncZ92BVbc8UyRUJMdE3x6qU-CMTBDks22c2GM5klWrQwWqUQMDkg/s320/DSC01809.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
(This is not actually the pallet I used, but I wasn't smart enough to take pictures before. You get the idea)<br />
<br />
I took off all the boards, which was a surprisingly, incredibly difficult task. Some of the boards cracked as I pried them off and rendered useless. I think it was also 145 degrees at the time, so I sweated about 3 gallons.<br />
<br />
Next, I got a state map of Georgia and meticulously cut out only the state.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV6rxix54Ty_a-7EGywtzzJojy5b5cyjV9DkGgSWB3lpCTM1gFhlct9ueKCeJWRbTtpX6YFtFEsw1YC2NxncZ1G6hM8qKZV3tkePL0tAyzQ69BZHoTmqK9pTrWFXSHQkCRG6GEUymE6_E/s1600/DSC01810.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV6rxix54Ty_a-7EGywtzzJojy5b5cyjV9DkGgSWB3lpCTM1gFhlct9ueKCeJWRbTtpX6YFtFEsw1YC2NxncZ1G6hM8qKZV3tkePL0tAyzQ69BZHoTmqK9pTrWFXSHQkCRG6GEUymE6_E/s320/DSC01810.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I then placed the cut out on the boards and traced the state.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijhtwopw9VgrwuPIAlFxuV4EhstIaBSW08OSC-L9i5tPGp_ZsSC2qhENSqgxYnF637dd3Xn-uX4C5ghZ38eZt1I39w1LZOp70w0DpBeQsP6LGRVNtPshH3oBVbypdDxCm-io8F5yqa8cY/s1600/DSC01811.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijhtwopw9VgrwuPIAlFxuV4EhstIaBSW08OSC-L9i5tPGp_ZsSC2qhENSqgxYnF637dd3Xn-uX4C5ghZ38eZt1I39w1LZOp70w0DpBeQsP6LGRVNtPshH3oBVbypdDxCm-io8F5yqa8cY/s320/DSC01811.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Once the entire state was traced, I took each board individually and cut along the lines I traced.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglIDcThEn3vsGPR4LEEmQ07uiFiW7Ko37HrYA17iFb_TzYxaJkic_-qxkz3aPqnmfEN0LOoJLiwKH1kivt_zAe2rxLV2hxPBT6Qc8kO6YCwEsFJtMBAMQ8ShXSidxe5LKwTdlpeK9ZoQY/s1600/DSC01815.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglIDcThEn3vsGPR4LEEmQ07uiFiW7Ko37HrYA17iFb_TzYxaJkic_-qxkz3aPqnmfEN0LOoJLiwKH1kivt_zAe2rxLV2hxPBT6Qc8kO6YCwEsFJtMBAMQ8ShXSidxe5LKwTdlpeK9ZoQY/s320/DSC01815.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I laid all the boards out and realized I had no real way to attach them to each other...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7LL_e7qZBLrctPpqQ_HU-lEY-zPG76pNuZwJuK0jnzZfrPM31tyAH1iKBrQh0ukP67vskUIiucMc0PoPLsZWeFJclYvsmSdJBcMiJhqRKn5H-BmblDF36ni4K3P35TmV4Gx4Lb9qFchg/s1600/DSC01816.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7LL_e7qZBLrctPpqQ_HU-lEY-zPG76pNuZwJuK0jnzZfrPM31tyAH1iKBrQh0ukP67vskUIiucMc0PoPLsZWeFJclYvsmSdJBcMiJhqRKn5H-BmblDF36ni4K3P35TmV4Gx4Lb9qFchg/s320/DSC01816.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
I got an 1/8" sheet of particle board (the same cheap board that backs all the book cases you see at Target) and traced the state cut out onto it. Then I cut it out, about an inch or two inside the lines I traced.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjlZ6yvkrmKzHVfqfScxC1fW26atjH949LkEghPGSnE9cEPaL7pFEkW5ReXMX9mE8L2y9zk4D1DNOJxVtpTm91dkbHBnuR9Pu4uk-f72HlEF5qbet3HPu5R-VtR0LhRWEZLKETGHKMUY/s1600/DSC01821.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjlZ6yvkrmKzHVfqfScxC1fW26atjH949LkEghPGSnE9cEPaL7pFEkW5ReXMX9mE8L2y9zk4D1DNOJxVtpTm91dkbHBnuR9Pu4uk-f72HlEF5qbet3HPu5R-VtR0LhRWEZLKETGHKMUY/s320/DSC01821.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
I then placed all the boards onto the cut out to make sure the backing wouldn't show.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnxvdX7F3SRH7ptDdEB7Hs26re73_OQ5p_m4Huhwp9DKMINnGzOzpzcfePS_SFQBX1W65kwkuO34NrSwMPT9ixrPDdk6ZXpL9z5vEinRADYoAHJAw4dzw1xYOG1b42UrRwvRjqwGi_H2o/s1600/DSC01822.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnxvdX7F3SRH7ptDdEB7Hs26re73_OQ5p_m4Huhwp9DKMINnGzOzpzcfePS_SFQBX1W65kwkuO34NrSwMPT9ixrPDdk6ZXpL9z5vEinRADYoAHJAw4dzw1xYOG1b42UrRwvRjqwGi_H2o/s320/DSC01822.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I used wood glue to hold all the boards in place.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Once the glue dried, I used 1/2" screws to make sure the boards were attached to backing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGCoPfZ23EmBDoNfWt_PIZU5yysM53inRsei1YTNJhluqyTnBrFgTILOBK9SAac9d9TrI9F5CCNIuDCkyRuGoGwf0Qv958pg8RQmStj4_TdxoZl_mgcZj4h59gUFnWTECA-eZRgkw346I/s1600/DSC01832.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGCoPfZ23EmBDoNfWt_PIZU5yysM53inRsei1YTNJhluqyTnBrFgTILOBK9SAac9d9TrI9F5CCNIuDCkyRuGoGwf0Qv958pg8RQmStj4_TdxoZl_mgcZj4h59gUFnWTECA-eZRgkw346I/s320/DSC01832.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I then added picture hanging wire to the back so we could hang this creation I made.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeTGEbkIZYaH-sJepyAfYzfMEypBZDi53KXXtREBjoZXS4OR1N_15w955gjNvrmjW0KgnaZorqK-a3-mgmZntcsnhya9ucYWLIcK2m71YE2hvcj5ESrmFgmqW_RFdc3QJHbtw7EXURfa4/s1600/DSC01835.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeTGEbkIZYaH-sJepyAfYzfMEypBZDi53KXXtREBjoZXS4OR1N_15w955gjNvrmjW0KgnaZorqK-a3-mgmZntcsnhya9ucYWLIcK2m71YE2hvcj5ESrmFgmqW_RFdc3QJHbtw7EXURfa4/s320/DSC01835.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then we put it up...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Anna likes it too, which makes me feel good about it. She also thinks I could sell them on Etsy. I could make them for any state, so if you have one in mind, let me know. <br />

Thanks for reading this, especially Bob.<br />

I wanted to try some of the zillions of recipes that I pin on Pinterest. We were having people over to watch football last Saturday night...so I thought it was the perfect time to try out some unhealthy recipes! :)<br />
<br />
I made this recipe for <a href="http://emmalinaviolet.wordpress.com/2011/11/16/buffalo-chicken-garbage-bread/" target="_blank">Buffalo Chicken Garbage Bread</a>. It was tasty and similar to a calzone. I definitely didn't follow the recipe...I almost doubled the stuffing part. It was huge! Oh well...it was a hit, and I could see myself making it again.<br />
<br />
I also wanted to try a super easy dessert...and it WAS super easy! I made this <a href="http://www.mychocolatetherapy.com/2011/11/i-love-butterfingers.html" target="_blank">Butterfinger Pie</a>. Yummy! Four ingredients and you have an easy dessert. It gets even better the more it sits in the fridge. Next time, I might try to use ice cream in place of the Cool Whip...just to make it denser.<br />
<br />
Overall, both were hits! And, like I said, super healthy, right? ;)<br />
<br />
Day Out.<br />
