For the men


My father's birthday was on Cinco de Mayo. I made this card for him. The sentiment at the bottom says "he who has the most tools wins." I think this would also make an awesome Father's Day card. Soon I will post pictures of the card I made for Mother's day. Thanks for looking! (and thanks for not noticing the messy table behind the card)

Not a candy maker....yet!


So I tried a new recipe today. It's for Oreo Truffles. You can find the recipe (as well as some prettier pictures) here.

The dough was easy enough to make, but I really am no good at dipping the truffles....yet.

For this recipe I used special edition Strawberry Milkshake Oreos. They taste yummy, but they sure don't look too pretty.

If you're a candy maker, make these! They're delicious. I'll make them again and will probably try the mint creme oreos next.

Here are the not so round nor pretty truffles (I'm only showing the prettiest, which should give an idea on how bad the rest look).
