Danielle’s Gourmet Lollipops.

My daughter Danielle is following in her mom’s foot steps..

At least just for a little while.  Danielle wanted a way that she can raise money to buy herself a car. Also clothes and shoes. Typical of a 17 year old!!

Danielle started her own line of Gourmet Lollipops.

She has all flavors from Cotton Candy to Root beer.

What makes all of these special?  The taste.  It’s all perfect!

You can customize them as party favors for all events such as birthdays and weddings. You can order your favorite flavor in any color to match your decor.

In addition to her gourmet lollipops Danielle also has mini swirl pops, medium swirl pops, large swirl pops and gigantic swirl pops.  All come in different colors too.

This is her new addition the Gigantic Pop.  it is approx 15.25 x 15.25 inches the stick measures 11.50 inches and it is about 2 1/2 inches thick.  Oh did I leave out the weight.. Only 10 pounds…

This could last years for a candy lover!

Pictures and Flavors will be added this week.

This weekend was the coldest weekend of the year for South Florida. I love the cold.  It’s such a welcome change.  It’s funny everyone puts on their so-called winter coats, hats, gloves and boots.  I am one of them.  believe it or not I have now 5 new pairs of boots.  Here in Florida when the boots go on sale it goes all the way down to 90 percent off.  So why shouldn’t us Floridians have boots. And MANY of them?

My family loves hot chocolate. When it gets cold its the only time we have it.

I read this article from First magazine that said Hot Chocolate was healthy..

It tells us that we should Sip cocoa drinks daily.  It reduces our bad LDL cholesterol by 14 percent if you do this. It also allows blood vessels to speed the delivery of oxygen to the brain, improving our memory, problem solving skills and reaction time within 15 minutes.  It allows you to stay calm and energized. I think what this means is I should run out to the supermarket and by more. Of course the fat-free or the sugar-free one for the family.

 I know the kids will be thrilled when they read this post.

Here are some really cool recipes.

My husband and I went to a really cool party the other weekend.  Everyone received a little shaker with an invitation to come for happy hour to a friend’s house. It also gave us a recipe to make a Martini.  When we arrived at our friends house everyone who was invited brought with them a different kind of Martini.  It was really neat that we got to taste all different unusual kinds.  I never knew so many existed.  The shakers were small and the glasses were little shot glasses so no one really had too  much to drink.  Her desserts were really cool, A lot of different kinds of mini donuts.  It was so much fun!.

I wanted to share our recipe with you.  We were lucky enough to have the chocolate Covered Strawberry Martini.

Pour 1 tbsp. strawberry syrup into martini glass

fill cocktail shaker with ice

add 3 tbsp each of vanilla, vodka and creme de cacao

Cover shake for about 30 seconds

This makes 1 serving.

add chocolate covered strawberry. ( we made 12 chocolate covered strawberries to bring with us)

Here we peep again.

When I see peeps I run out and by boxes full of them. Don’t ask me why.  I still have cases of peeps. It’s something about the fluffy sugar feeling that goes into your mouth.  Plus they are so cute!   These are very special.  I Found them at  Target.

Vanilla Creme peeps.  What a nice way to celebrate their 60th.

Just think you can dip them in chocolate or make a peep S’more. I heard once they are gone you will not be able to find them.  So hurry and get yours today.

Tell me what you created with them..

If anyone knows me at all they know that I LOVE Bon Jovi.  I have seen them 22 times!  Yes I said 22 times.  My kids have been going with my husband and I to the concert for the last 15 years. ( my poor husband rather sit home)  My daughter Danielle loves them just as much as me.  Tonight is the night.  It’s finally here.  It’s been a long  two years since they came to South Florida. We all can hardly wait until tonight at 7:30.

I get chills just thinking about it!!  If you listen real hard you should hear me screaming!!

The best part of all is today is Jon’s Birthday! I get to spend his birthday with him!!

Marshmallow Candy Melts…

This is not fair.  Everyone knows I love Marshmallows.  Now they have to come up with this?  I can just imagine what you can do with this flavor.  Not just for candy, but let’s think S’more’s. I know I am.  I will for sure be experimenting with this all weekend if I have the time. Just think of dipping chocolate into the candy melts with a Graham cracker.  Or just did the Graham cracker.

As soon as I start playing over the weekend I will make sure that I send tons of picture.

Make sure you get your’s soon.  It’s only for  limited time so stock up!

Sunday I was a vendor at a bridal show. Don Shula hotel hosted the event.  I am proud to say that I am the preferred vendor for their hotel. Knowing this show was going to drive many brides.  I wanted to make sure that my table was grand and perfect.

I now just love doing the Tiffany theme.  The colors are so eye-catching and everything looks first class.

My stands that I had my jars one.  Came out perfect.  The color matched and the glitter made it all pop.

Each jar was on a different size and height riser.

My cupcakes were great!  Everyone loved them. I did your basic vanilla and chocolate.  But what made these so cute were the embellishments that went with them. I had cut out sunglasses ans a dress to match the whole Tiffany theme.

Even my props came out great! The necklaces you see were made of gumballs.

Everything was perfect!   Everything blended!

So for now this is my favorite.  I received so many compliments and great feedback.  It was first class all the way!

Thank you to everyone who came to visit me at the bridal show and to all my new clients welcome!
