Birthday Luncheon:Take One

For my birthday this year I wanted to accomplish some of the Pins I've been Pinning over the years. So many fabulous ideas and foods to make. My mom totally helped me out by making me a lunch from pins from my Yummer board. 

From Chef Mommy: Pork Tenderloin with Pan sauce. The pork was tender, moist and tasty. The accompanying sauce added even more flavor.  All of us agreed that this recipe was a keeper. 

From The Virtuous Wife: Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread.  I love bread and I could have eaten this whole bowl. These are easy to make and quite good.  My brother snagged all the left-overs, that's how good they are.

For dessert, my mom deviated and didn't do a pin from my board but a recipe she saw on Pinterest. Orange Dreamsicle cake.  This cake was delicious. I took 3 pieces home and they didn't last long.

Luncheon Take One was delicious. I'm looking forward to Luncheon Take Two now. 

Happy Earth Day! 

Same work out. Two States

The Pinterest mini birthday projects continue. Remember, I celebrate ALL. Month. Long :) And you should too during your birth-month. I highly recommend it.

A friend of mine recently moved to Barrows, Alaska. This made it a little hard to bake, cook or do a project together for my birth-month. This didn't stop us from celebrating though. My friend picked a work out from my fitness board and a day during the month. On that day we both did this work out:

We posted about our work outs on each others Facebook pages and as soon as she gets back from Anchorage, we're going to plan another work out day together. 

Thanks Dawn for celebrating my birthday with me, even though you're 2,102 (3,383 kilometers) away. 

Birthday Time!

It's my BIRTHDAY! On Saturday :) 

Unlike others I know, eh hem, my man, I love it when my birthday comes around.  I embrace it. It's a great time to connect with family and friends. You all know I'm not having a big party this year (click here). 

If I was I'd go Vegas style this year.

I bet my friends are wishing I threw a party this year, ha ha

Stay tuned all month for more Pinterest birthday party projects. 

Birthday Projects

April's my birth-month. Normally I throw myself a party. 2011 was an ice-cream party. I see I haven't blogged about it. I must be sure to do that this month. Last year was Breakfast at Tiffany's. One of my most popular posts. That was a fun party. 

This year I'm not throwing myself a party. WHAT? I know, a lot of my friends were surprised too.  Don't worry, just because I'm not throwing a party doesn't mean I'm not celebrating.  I'm having mini Pinterest parties. I'm getting together with friends and family and making, cooking or baking pins from my Pinterest boards. 

The first pin I completed was from my Cupcake board, Twix cupcakes .  Everyone whose tasted these loves them.  The cookie crunch adds texture and surprise. If you like caramel you'll love the frosting, it blends beautifully with the chocolate cake. 

I'm looking forward to completing more pins and adding them to my Pinterest Made Me Do It board.  Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go eat another a Twix cupcake. 

Delish pumpkiny goodness

I'm Baaack! Were you beginning to think I would never do a post again. Are you having Woo Hoo!! Wednesday withdrawals?  I know I've been a little MIA but I haven't had any parties for awhile. I'm having withdrawals myself.  And I'm not one to throw a fake party just so I have something to post. With the major holiday season approaching I'll be posting regularly again.

Snooping around Pinterest  one day I came across this delicious pumpkin cupcake recipe.  Now come November, I'm all about the pumpkin.  Getting my Vitamin A on. So you know I had to try these babies.
mmm, mmm, mmm oh my goodness. You NEED to make these.  Cooking Classy is where you can find the recipe.  If you end up making it, which I highly recommend you do, revisit her page and leave her a comment. Bloggers LOVE to know people enjoyed reading the post.

I've been enjoying these for breakfast :)   What? pumpkins good for you. I pair it with a glass of chocolate milk so not only am I getting my Vitamin A on but my calcium and D as well. This party girl has to boost her immunity for the whirlwind party season approaching.

Doesn't this just make you want to make these right now.  Trust. They're worth it. People at the office will be giving you compliments all day. IF you bring any in, hee hee

Let me know if you make them and what you think.  Leave a comment here or on the Fizzy Party Facebook page.
