So last night was the Super Bowl.  What a fun time it was!  I think I watched maybe 5 minutes, but the playing with the kids, eating the yummy food, and just enjoying the madness of the moment made it all worthwhile.  We went to a friends, and as I always do, I had to make a snack...just wish I would get better about taking pictures of these mentioned snacks. 

I had premade Oreo truffles in the shapes of footballs, which included white laces.  Now these are so simple to make!  Take a package of Oreos and chop them into fine crumbs with a food processor.  Next, use a hand held mixer and mix Oreo crumbs with 1 package of cream cheese.  Roll into small balls (or in my case, footballs).  Allow to set in fridge over night to firm.  Dip in melted chocolate or white chocolate and put on wax paper to completely dry.  YUM!! 

I also made pizza pull apart bread (a Pinterest find that I am SO happy I tried!!!).  This is pretty simple too!  You'll need 2 cans of pizza dough, 2 C. mozzarella cheese, 1 package mini pepperonis, 1/3 C. oil.  Cut the dough into bit size pieces and drop in a large bowl.  Dump the cheese and pepperonis in the bowl with the dough, and then add the oil.  Mix well with your hands, then dump into a greased bundt pan.  Bake on 350 for about 45 minutes (or until it almost looks burnt!).  Flip onto a plate and enjoy with marinara sauce for dipping. 

Our final thing I had a part in making, was homemade icing for a friend's daughter's birthday.  We are attempting to make "pumpkin" cupcakes!  So we started by using the Wilton's buttercream icing recipe.  We had plans of doubling it, so we used 1 stick Crisco, 2 sticks margarine, and 1 lb. confectioners sugar.  We then started chatting, and only added 2 Tbsp. of milk.  After mixing it, the consistency (and taste) seemed awesome, so we omitted the vanilla and the extra milk.  It was divine! 

I had a bag of icing for piping, and in a matter of minutes, I had 3, no 4, little hands with one finger laid out to be "frosted".  They know me all to well!  Poor E didn't know what to do/think of the icing, so she just spit it out.  Tiny T LOVED it so much, I finally just told him to put out his tongue, and I would cover it in icing.  My bag got empty pretty fast!  Our 2 big girls loved it too, but they knew a cupcake was coming soon, so they just went back to playing.  As we got in the car to leave, Little Bit said, "OK, I do want a baby sister that's a girl.  And I want to name her Jojo.  Because she's the SWEETEST and I just love her!"  Obviously this play date was beyond successful!
