I'm not sure how you like your guacamole but I have to say this is definitely my new favorite guacamole. I will warn you it is extremely addictive. It's very easy to make all you need are some avacados, sour cream, blue cheese, spring onions, jalapeno and a little cayenne pepper... I never measure so it's just a taste thing as to how much of each. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Summer is officially over, the kids are back in school and fall is in full swing which means football season is here...Yippee!!! Pick-up the phone and have some friends over this weekend to watch your favorite college football team or your favorite pro team. Give your team the home field advantage with these fun football-themed cupcakes.
Step 1: Frost a cooled cupcake (baked from your favorite recipe) with green frosting, then mark the yard lines with white decorators' gel.
Step 2: For a pennant, wrap a fruit leather triangle around a pretzel stick and plant it in the field as shown.
Step 3: Set a chocolate-covered almond or brown almond M&M football topped with white decorators' gel laces on the field, and you're sure to score points with your favorite sports fans.
Tape it's not just for packages anymore. Ditch that plain packing tape for a vibrant, patterned version. Seriously, have you ever come across such adorable and practical sticky tapes? These delightful tapes definitely make sending and receiving packages (and packing boxes) more fun and creative. I think the next time I wrap a gift I am going to wrap the entire box in this charming tape. There are just so many ways that you can use this tape. Just think about the next time you throw a baby shower; tape it around the favor boxes to add a little extra color or for the holidays this year - how festive will that box of cookies look taped with this tape?!? Ok I know what you all want to know...Where do I get it?? The answer is Tapeswell and handful of other places. So, just remember if you are ever in a bind, "Tape it Up!"

It's hard to believe that Labor Day is already here even more surprising is the fact that it signifies the end of summer (wasn't it just Memorial day?!). Where did the time go?? I guess it's true what they say, "Time flies when you're having fun!" It's definitely been a really fun summer. I say let's not go out without a fight or at least a BBQ.
This Labor day call everyone you know that's in town and invite them over for a good ole fashioned end of summer party/Labor Day BBQ. What's great about this weekend is that everyone considers the entire weekend a holiday so with that in mind pick any day of the weekend to throw your BBQ.
Let's start with your table setting. Since Labor Day honors all of the working people let's get back to the basics when it comes to the decor. For your centerpiece, fill an old wooden box or galvanized bucket with wheat grass and throw in a few American flags in honor of all those hardworking Americans. Check out the local scrapbooking store or craft store to find bandana paper then roll it into cones and serve popcorn or homemade fries. In keeping with this theme use a bandana as a napkin to hold silverware at each place setting pair with rattan chargers and simple white plates. Sunflowers double as placecard holders and definitely add a pop of color to your table.
Keep it simple when it comes to the food (hotdogs, hamburgers, chicken, steaks, chips, pretzels, and festive summer drinks). If you are trying to keep your costs down serve a signature cocktail rather than offering a full bar.
Whatever you decide to do - Have fun! After all, this is the last hurrah of the summer.
