My first Bakerella endeavor!

If you are not familiar with the Bakerella blog, check it out. I saw these cute ghost cake pops on her blog and had to try it out. There is actually tons of cute halloween ideas but these looked pretty simple. They were simple BUT they were time consuming. You bake a red velvet cake and crumble it up, then mix it with a tub of cream cheese icing, roll it in balls, refrigerate, and then dip it in vanilla almond bark. I stuck them in styrofoam in a flower pot and tied a halloween ribbon around it then covered the foam in candy corn. It looked very festive. I sent them to Brett's office and he said they went over very well. Here are the pics.

Easiest Roast Ever!

My old sorority president posted on facebook recently that she was making a Pepperoncini Roast and I just love all things peppery so I got the recipe. It really was the easiest roast I have ever made and it was really good. Thanks Emily!!! I recommend serving it over rice. (The peppers taste pretty darn good too if you enjoy eating peppers like I do.)


Pepperoncini Roast


Salt and pepper all sides of your roast and place it in your crock-pot. Pour one jar of pepperoncini peppers (with juice) over roast (use whole peppers). Add 2 teaspoons of minced garlic to crock-pot. Cook on low for 10-12 hours or high for 5-6 hours. Enjoy!!!
