Last week I had buttermilk that was about to expire, a few old bananas and voila! It was the perfect combination for Banana Bread! There is nothing I enjoy more than warm Banana Bread with a dab of butter – yum, yum, yum! There are several recipes that I have used for banana bread through the years. I really like this one the most because it is always so  moist! ENJOY!

2 eggs
1/2 c. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cup flour
1 cup sugar

3/4 tsp. baking soda

A few years ago when my sister in law was visiting she made Thai Chicken Wraps for dinner. It has become a favorite dinner at our house.

There is one tradition that is carried out no matter who’s birthday we are celebrating . . . a trip to our favorite restraunant, Mariano’s. My family has been going to this restraunant for over 18 years, and we ask for the same waiter every time, Angel.

My kids LOVE going for birthdays because you get to wear a sombrero while the waiters and watresses sing Feliz Cumpleanos. Our tradition is to always go with my parents and my brother (when he’s in town). We always have a great time, and I love traditions that I can share with family.

Our Buddy Angel

The sombrero was not the only celebration in style. I started my special day off with one of my favorite NEW Scribbles products, Plastic Party Cups. These aren’t just any party cups, these are BIRTHDAY party cups. And I love, love, love them! We have a whole new collection of cups with fun designs for any occasion.

You don’t have a birthday coming up to celebrate? Well don’t forget Valentine’s Day will soon be here. Get festive and add our Valentine cups to your table this season. Once you see them you will not be able to resist. Click here and order your cups today. They’re reusable, diswasher-safe, and seriously c-u-t-e! The best part: they come tied with a festive ribbon, so they always are READY FOR GIVING!

Lost tooth? (not part of the plan)…check!

Finishing the night with…

New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2012. “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve: The 40th Anniversary Party”

How did you spend your New Year’s Eve?

This past Sunday my doorbell rang and sitting on my porch were SIX reindeer! They were six of the cutest reindeer I have ever seen. My kids were elated because these weren’t just any reindeer – these were IBC Root Beer reindeers. What kid (and for that matter what adult!) doesn’t like a nice cold root beer?

Pass on the cheer to a friend with a six-pack of IBC Reindeer Root Beers this year! All you need is some googly eyes and pipe cleaners. This is one of the easiest projects ever and they’re soooooo stinkin’ cute.

I attended a party  last week for a friend celebrating her 40th Birthday. It was a lovely party with so many wonderful dips and appetizers. One of the dips  I tried was Chutney Cheese Spread served with Melba Toast.

Of course I had to get  the recipe and have already made it for one of my Christmas dinners this last Wednesday. Here at the holidays when our houses are filled with family and friends I think this appetizer is the perfect addition for our guest. It is really easy and taste great, ENJOY!
