"why everyone should own a greyhound"

this cracks me up!

the BEST party punch!

this is a perfect punch for any occasion and you can make it your own with whatever jello flavors you choose. the recipe makes a ton so you could easily half it. when i make it i have to do it in 2 batches anyway because i don't have a big enough pot to boil all the water. for an alcoholic version, add vodka when you serve it. i usually make a seperate batch for all the alcies out there. :)

trust me... this one is a keeper!

*party punch*

13 cups water
3 cups granulated sugar
3 small boxes fruit flavored jello (I used strawberry, raspberry & a tropical fruit mix)
1 12 oz. can frozen lemonade concentrate
2 large cans pineapple juice (standard size)
2 liters ginger ale/sprite/fresca/7up/whatever
4 freezer tight ziplock bags
1 orange, sliced (optional)

Boil 13 cups water. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gelatin & sugar. *if you are breaking this up into 2 batches, make sure you seperate out 1/2 of the gelatin/sugar mixture so the next batch will be consistently flavored*

Pour the boiling water over the gelatin/sugar mixture & stir to combine. Mix in the lemonade concentrate and then pour in the pineapple juice. Ladle the mixture into ziplock bags… I used a total of 4 *double lined* bags. Put the bags in the freezer and let them freeze overnight. About an hour before serving time, pull out a couple of the bags and allow them to thaw a little. Separate the chunks by kneading the bag while its still closed, you should have a slushy consistency. Pour into punch bowl and cover with ginger ale, more or less to your liking. top with orange slices for looks.

new recipe!

this pizza bubble bread is super delish... i got it from a pillsbury recipe card and it turned out really good... plus my house smells amazing.

pizza bubble bread:

• 2 (12 oz) cans flaky layers biscuits
• 40 slices pepperoni
• 8 oz. block mozzerella cheese (cut into 20 piecese)
• 1 tsp. italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 stick butter, melted
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 cup pizza sauce

spray bundt pan with nonstick spray and preheat oven to 350. seperate a can of the biscuits into 10 pieces. combine melted butter, italian seasoning & garlic powder. flatten a biscuit to a 3 inch disk and place 2 pieces of pepperoni and a piece of mozzerella cheese on it. bring the dough up and over the filling and seal it up so it forms a ball. dip the ball into the butter mixture and place in the pan. repeat with 9 more dough balls and then sprinkle the top with half of the parmesan cheese.

repeat the above process with the other can of biscuits and then pour the remaining butter mixture on top. bake for 33-35 minutes or until golden brown. pull out and let cool for about 5 minutes, before inverting onto a serving dish. one its baked you can pull apart the individual pieces and dip in the pizza sauce.

yay for birthdays @ work!
