Today's post.....

My husband's traveling card game was Wednesday evening and we were responsible for snacks. So I made  Beer Nuts, BBQ Little Smokies, and a relish platter.

Here is the recipe for

  Beer Nuts...

Pre-Heat oven to 300°

Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) package of raw peanuts
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup of water
Dash of Salt













Directions:
Combine first three ingredients in a heavy skillet (I used my Pampered Chef Wok).















Cook until no water remains, stirring frequently.

 Add a dash of salt.

Put on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes.

 Stir and bake another 15 minutes.

Let cool and enjoy.

Party Ideas: Flip Flops

Every once in a while, I get the opportunity to help friends decorate for their daughter's birthday and graduation parties. Since I only have sons it's a refreshing opportunity.

I get to help with a party for a girl that loves flip flops. Here are a few of the things that I'm going to show her mother.

This garland by howstinkincute would be perfect over the cake table. It could then be moved into her room for a great accent.
