Chex Treat

 Remember the yummy traditional sweet Chex mix?  Well this is my version of it. 

1 box Chex cereal (corn or rice -- I actually like to mix 1/2 and 1/2)

1/2 bag coconut toasted (just put it in a frying pan on high heat and stir it around)

slivered almonds - about 1/2 c.

In a sauce pan mix

3/4 c. Karo syrup

3/4 c. agave

2 cubes butter

a dash of salt

Boil for 5 minutes.  Remove from heat, stir in 1 tsp vanilla.  Pour mixture over cereal.  Stir to coat.  

Let cool for a minute and add M&M's (I like peanut butter M&M's but you can add whatever flavor you want.  I was just think that the coconut ones would be delicious!) Spread mixture out on wax paper to finish cooling.Store in an air tight container. Enjoy!

By using less Karo (3/4 c instead of 1 1/2 c) and agave (instead of 1 1/2 c sugar) you have made this traditional treat a little less evil but just as yummy!

Stress Relief

 When life gets crazy ... when the stress builds up this is what I do to let go.

 There is something so calming about throwing on the wheel.

 It feels like magic to take a lump of clay and turn it into a piece of pottery.

Aww I feel better. 

Super Bowl Sunday

 Would you ever had guessed that this family has a Super Bowl party?  Well we do! And it is a fun one at that!  It is not all football.  There is a little crafting going on as well (you watch football and craft at the same time ... right?)

 Food! Food! Food! 

the best part of any Super Bowl Party really.

Of COURSE there is a little competition with prizes!  Peter puts together a little "game" to keep the "game" interesting.   

Pete took first and the Peterson's swept the other two places.

KimiD and I were so sporty in our official football gear.  Wrong teams ... but whatever!  

Super fun night! Surprising I know, but I really do like football.

Home of the Bronco's

On my last trip to Denver Beck and I did a quick drive by (I jumped out and she took a picture from the car ... it was snowing after all)  on our way into downtown. I HEART the Bronco's and YES I totally HEART Tebow!
