Oh Yum!

First let me say how happy it made us to see a table of Girl Scouts in front of the grocery store yesterday!!! After digging through all the loose change in my purse I came up with exactly enough to take home one of these......


and let me tell ya....one box is not gonna last long in our house! We broke them open as soon as we got to the car! We try to eat them when Caroline is napping so we don't have to share with her! Isn't that awful! :) We're very protective of our Thin Mints.

So last weekend David took me to this new (well new to me) restaurant where he ordered "Southern Salsa" and I instantly fell in love! So all week I've been on a quest to find a recipe for this stuff so I could recreate it at home anytime I wanted. Here's the first recipe I tried out last night that is called "Texas Caviar". It didn't have the kick the Southern Salsa had but it was yummy.
I also made Monster Cookies for the first time and I wish I had not waited so long to sample this recipe that I've had in my possession for years. Watch out these are addictive! Thankfully we had some friends come over Saturday night and they helped us eat some of this!

I actually remembered to take pictures of the process of making the cookies. Although I didn't think of it until after I began so all the ingredients are not pictured.

If you'd like any of the recipes let me know! I'm happy to share!
