Recipe HELP….

Happy Memorial Day, I can never forget I would not be sitting in my home with my dog, enjoying blogging if our freedoms had not been fought for for hundreds of years by those who just thought it was what they should do. I think brave means you do what is right, not just what you want to.

THANK YOU  to all who have served, are serving and to the families at home that share you with this great country.

As I am home enjoying a day off because of these great men and women, I watched Rachel Ray. It was a rerun but as I am not watching TV this time of day, but here was a really cool idea for meat loaf!

Meat and potato cup cakes!!

I love it!!

Now I have recently gone Gluten Free. SOOOO all the regular stuffings for a meat loaf I cannot use. Also I would love to add veggies to this.

Now do I add them to the meat so I have filling for the meat loaf, or stick to onions and seasoning in the meat and add veggies in the potatoes, I am thinking corn, maybe squash, zucchini, even broccoli. I am not a carrot and pea fan so I really don’t want to add them.

How would you do it. I really like the littleness and cupcakes rock! I really think this would be a great idea what would you do?

I am 

Are you ready???

Honeslty what does that really mean? Ready for what the whole thing to be over? I have always been so deflated after Christmas, it is OVER, all the build up actually seems better than the day. And can you really be ready. Presents wrapped, food cooked, or did you throw a few gifts under the tree you found hidden in the closet when you went to get your good robe you are going to wear for the pictures, or if you forget, one of the 12 dishes you were going to make for Christmas dinner will it be that bad?

I don't hate Christmas, but really love the "Season" because it lasts longer. I have a mom that stress over all the "undone" things and then cannot enjoy any of it.

Please all my lovely friends don't stress it will all happen and it will be a memory of all that gathered and not really what was not done. Enjoy the moment and the time it will all be great, honestly letting go is hard especially for us women but how much nicer life is when you do.

So have the Happiest of Christmases and remember why we celebrate and it really puts all the hoopla in to perspective.

Merry Christmas

Hugs, Lisa

Pink Cupcakes

I love pink cupcakes

They are super duper cute!

I must confess that I don’t really make cupcakes :(

I know they are easy, I just am not a baker. I can  cook and enjoy it but cakes and cookies are not my thing.

I do have these

 

and these

 

Ok I have a lot of these

 

My pink collection is my favorite ;)

 

There are super fun ways to use these even if not for cupcakes.

Skirts on mice

Around nut cups for party favors,

To organize small items in drawers or a box,

to catch dripping popsicles,

Well they are super handy!

What is your favorite way to use a cupcake liner?

Hope you all have  a super happy Pink Saturday!

Visit Beverly for a full day of Pink!
