Sweet Dessert Panini, Batman!

Last night, I was craving something sweet and had seen this made on Paula Deen's show "Paula's Home Cooking" on the Food Network (my all time fave channel!). So I tried it and it just might be my new fave midnight snack! Oh my goodness it is DELISH! You gotta try it! It's so quick and easy! Click HERE for the recipe.

PS~ I substituted peanut butter for the NUTELLA hazlenut spread and it was great.

PPS~ I couldn't eat a whole one because it's so sweet, so I halved it with Joseph and it was the perfect antidote for my sweet tooth.

BON APETITE!


Check it out!

My friend Kim Beauchamp is a CRAZY GENIUS when it comes to sewing. She's started her own business called Rosebud Designs and I wanted to post her website on here so y'all can check it out. Kim wanted me to say the website is still in it's early stages so it's not very interactive just yet, but if you don't see something on it that you like, no worries. Her slogan is "If you can dream it, I can sew it" which is so true! Just tell her what you want and she'll make it with perfection! For example, she made my bolero jacket to go over my wedding dress and I just told her a few things about what I was envisioning and she went above and beyond what I EVER expected it to look like! It was fantastic!!! So check it out! Click HERE to see it or on the business name above.

New project

My husband the handyman! Joseph has taken on the task of finishing our kitchen. He is putting in a tiled backsplash as we speak! So, wish us luck and the energy to clean up our mess! Here's a little taste of what's to come--

In the beginning stage...


Here is the view from the living room. Joseph also finished the ledge on top of the counter. He painted the wall and then added the top three platforms on each level. Now we just have to paint those and that side will be done.

Using Blake's fancy water saw thingy. That's the technical term for it... Thanks Blake! :)


It's getting there. I love watching Joseph work. His eye to detail always amazes me. So, it should be dry by late tonight or tomorrow and then we (aka Joseph) will grout it. Tada! A backsplash!

PS~ Thanks Trey and Patty for giving us this tile. It looks fantastic!
