Happy Shopping

Have you visited the Plastica Shop? It's fun, colorful, and full of plastic.

Sharkfin Pie

Grab that tissue, I'm about to make ya drool! ;) I thought I'd share this tasty recipe with you... but it's not mine! This ever-so-yummy dessert belongs to Mitchell's Fish Market. I had the grand opportunity to dine here while on bizcation in Tampa. The entrée was delish, but I'm a sucker for dessert and they did not fail to impress. But don't let me convince you, feast your eyes on this...

1 gallon Butter Fudge Ripple Ice Cream (or similar flavor)
½ cup Peanut Butter
½ cup Fudge sauce
2 cups Honey Roasted Peanuts, ground

Oreo Crust:
1 ¾ cup Oreo Crumbs
¼ cup Melted Butter

To prepare the pie crust combine cookie crumbs and butter. Press into 10” aluminum pie time. Bake 6-8 minutes at 300 degrees. Then freeze shells.

Soften ice cream. Fill shells to rim and refreeze.

Spread peanut butter over top of ice cream. Next spread fudge sauce over peanut butter. Sprinkle the fudge with ½ cup of peanuts and refreeze again. Mound remaining ice cream on top and refreeze. Top with remaining 1 ½ cups of honey roasted peanuts.

You're welcome ;)

Spring Tulips

This time of year is special for so many reasons. Later on, I plan to post about the most significant part of this year... A holiday that truly is the most important.

One thing that always places a smile on my face are the lovely blooms adorning flower beds across town. One in particular is the annual appearance of the tulip. Such grace and elegance is seen in this ladylike flower.

What a beautiful reminder of God's creativity!

B-A-Y-L-O-R, Baylor Bears Fight!

I'd like to make a shout out to the Men's Baylor University basketball team. Not only did they make it to the Sweet 16 (first in school's history), but they went even further and continued on to the Elite 8 and played a great game (including some exciting dunks) against no 1 seed Duke University. As an alum, I am proud. Way-to-go guys!

Purple Sensation

I have been inspired by this armoire for quite some time now. I just adore the detail and color (my childhood favorite). I would love to find a treasure like this to paint and place as a statement piece in my bedroom.

What's your favorite furniture makeover?

Nauti-cool

OK, so it's not quite summer yet, but a girl can dream right? Today my dream will consist of being on a boat in the Caribbean, laying out with swimsuit on, light breeze, just the right temp and sunny skies. And as an accessory, a nautical tote from bayan hippo.
