Week in Review 9/3/11

I just realized I did not do a Week in Review last week, that is how crazy things have been!  I think they are finally calming down now, and I can get back to blogging!   When I started this, I never knew it would turn into this, and miss not doing it so much.  But life happens, what can you do! 

I will make this quick - it is a long holiday weekend!  Enjoy time with family and friends.  Hopefully everyone has great weather to enjoy it in.  We are supposed to cool down some!  Yeah, highs in the 70's!  Should make for a nice weekend.


So here is what I have been up to:
Double Peanut Butter Bars - Peanut Butter and more Peanut Butter!
Creamy Polenta - Quick and Easy Side Dish
Pumpkin Madeline Cake Balls - Madelines turned into pumpkin pie flavored cake balls
Spreading the Love - Amazing bloggers receive awards!
Guest Post with Chef Dennis, Cherry Limeade Cocktail - Cocktail that tastes just like Cherry Limeade
Hyderabadi Biryani - Super quick and easy Indian Food
Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies - guest post at La Case De Sweets!
Focaccia with Onion and Rosemary - Fresh Bread with just 5 minutes of work!
S'mores Bars - S'mores in an easy to eat bar form!

Here is what has caught my eye lately:
Mexican Turkey Bake by Eat.Drink.Love. - I have been looking for more ways to use Quinoa, what a great idea!
Monkey Bread Muffins by Kitchenarian - Monkey bread is so good, but takes so long to make - little muffins?!  Perfect!
Pancit Bihon by That's so Michelle - Never had Traditional Filipino food, this sounds good!
Peanut Butter Cup Truffle Brownies by Tracey's Culinary Adventures - Oh my word, amazing!
Cinnamon Caramel Blondies by The Baker Chick - These look perfect!  Cinnamon and Caramel all in one!

Have a safe and happy Labor Day!

  15. Have a wonderful long weekend and enjoy your cooler temps. It looks like we'll be having a very unwelcome guest Tropical Storm Lee, on top of us through Tuesday or so. Might be time to build a boat.
