Weekend Wrap-Up




Previously, on CCS:




Monday - was a failure... CCC Monday disappoints with humidity that ruined my batch of Dorie Greenspan's chocolate chip cookies... :(

Wednesday - was saved with my first savory dish! Beer Bread with Cheese and Bacon. Talk about guy food!

Thursday - sunflower seeds are getting a makeover with ranch! Ranch Flavored Roasted Sunflower Seeds. Did you know they make them in Jalapeno too?

Friday - huge huge HUGE! My 1st guest post and it's on A Culinary Journey with Chef Dennis!! Special occasion requires a special dessert: No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake. The best. Ever. Yum. Go. Check. It. Now.

                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This week was really big for my little blog. I crossed a savory line and loved it and I guest posted on A Culinary Journey with Chef Dennis! I want to thank everyone who was as excited as I was and for all the fabulous comments left here, on CCS, and on Chef Dennis' blog. It means a lot to me! THANK YOU!

Thank you so much to all who participated in last week's Fabulous Friday Party! My personal favorite was:



It's Chestymallow by I-Lost in Austen!!!

Kit's sons made it for her for Mother's Day. How sweet is that?? ( total swoon)

Our Fabulous Friday Party is being postponed until further notice. Our sweet host, Tiffany, is taking a break to enjoy family time. But do not fret, my friends. The Party will be back soon! To see which entry had the most views, please, visit Tiffany's blog.

Reminder: The 1st Blue Ribbon Challenge is on June 20th. Just few days away! I am so excited for it! All of you, who left comments or sent me e-mail about participating - you should have received a reminder by now. Your mousse post has to be a new post to your blog. I am in the midst of creating a page, here on my blog, with all the info and the badge.

As I mentioned before, my Little Guy just turned 1!! We are celebrating with family this weekend. I have a big project for this occasion - the Cake!  Did you guess? :) I hope it will work out and I will be able to share it here, on CCS.

Next week is going to be very exciting with the challenge happening for the first time. I hope everyone will have lots of fun making mousse. I can't wait to see all the entries!

Have a wonderful and sweet Father's Day weekend!

xoxo,
