Week in Review 7/23/11

Another crazy busy week of summer done. We are in Northern MN this weekend for a family reunion at my extended families cabin. This has been a summer tradition since before I was born. Looking forward to family, food, swimming, sun, boating, bonfire...all the good stuff! I made lots of treats to take with me, so next week will probably be a sweet week for my blog! Hope you stay cool and have a great weekend!

Here is what I was up to this week:
Spicy Asian Noodles with Chicken - Super easy, fast, delicious dinner!
Homemade Nutella - Chocolate hazelnut spread you can make at home!
Nutella Cupcakes - Chocolate cupcake filled with Nutella and topped with a Nutella Buttercream Frosting!
Nutella Ice Cream - my first guest post!
BLAT's - a small twist on a tradition BLT!

Here is what you were up to that I have bookmarked:
Beer Braised Carnitas by Lindselicious - these just look like Mexican heaven
Cinnamon Blondies by From Cupcakes to Caviar - this looks like the gooey center of a cinnamon roll in bar form!
Barbeque Chicken Burgers from Pass the Sushi - I love chicken burgers, this sounds delicious!
Flourless Chocolate Cake by That Skinny Chick Can Bake - this might be my all time favorite dessert, but I have never made it before!
Margarita Pizza on the Grill by Amy's Cooking Adventures - I can't wait to try this with my fresh tomatoes!

Enjoy your weekend!

Also, your post reminded me of the many, many family vacations we spent "Up North" (as we referred to it, driving to northern MN from almost the Iowa border!) :) We looked forward to that every summer. Your family will never forget those memories! Thanks again for a great post.
