Week in Review 7/16/11

Another week of summer is gone :(  At least we made it to the pool this week, that is a plus.  It is hard getting back from vacation though...the laundry, the grocery shopping, the work, the cleaning, just getting back into your normal routine.  But I think we are back!

I have some great recipes lined up for you next week, that I can't wait to share. And I have an award I need to recognize and pass on.  I have been procrastinating too long on posting it.  In the meantime I have a great lineup for you below!

Here is a picture from our trip.  The amount of snow was just crazy!  This was a crazy area we had to walk over on the trail (yes that is water under there)!

What I was up to this week:
Strawberry Raspberry Jelly - Great combination of berries for a thick jelly!
Creamy Avocado Pasta - My new favorite pasta!  Creamy, healthy, and super easy!
Chocolate Hazelnut Pie - What is better than chocolate and hazelnuts?

What you were up to that caught my eye:
Iced Marshmallow Hot Chocolate by Baking Serendipity - this just sounds so fun and yummy!
Sweet and Spicy Braised Short Ribs by Four Pointe Foodie - love ribs, these just sound delicious!
Candy Shop Ice Cream Cake by Family Spice - This is just so cool, I want my birthday to be next week!
English Muffins by Elinluv's Sweet Delights - I LOVE english muffins, who knew you could make your own?
Herb Spaetzel with Shallot Thyme Butter by The Weekend Gourmet - I want this tonight, sounds wonderful!
