Last night, Erika and Timmy invited us and Ashley and JR over for dinner!

They were making homemade pizzas! And I was in charge of bringing pepperoni!

I headed to a local Italian Deli and picked some up!

And while I was at it, I bought a fresh roll for a snack! Mmmm!IMG_4501

I’m the type of person who has to eat at 5:15pm every night when I get home, or I just feel like I’m going to starve. haha

[hmmm no pictures of our amazing dinner at Erika’s!!! Sad! But check some out on her blog!]

Trust me, Dinner was amazing.

The girls (with Ashley’s baby bump)!

This week, we headed over the canyon into Beverly Hills for dinner. It was beautiful as usual.

Love these huge houses:

But since we live in the valley, we came to Beverly Hills prepared…. with a Groupon!

That’s how we roll!

We ate at this AMAZING restaurant called “Jack n’ Jills”. We were majorly impressed.

We started out with some fresh blueberry muffins! They were so cakey!

Irving got the chicken and it came with sweet potato fries and mac n’ cheese!

I got the Grecian Savory Crepe. It was amazing. It was feta, veggies, tomatoes… in a crepe. MMM.

  On the fourth of July, Erika and Timmy came over for a fun afternoon of games!

We started out with a game of “Wineopoly”. I think my sister gave us this a few years back. It was actually a really fun game!

It’s just like Monopoly, but with a twist.
IMG_4451

Erika and I pretty much tied, and Timmy lost—big time. HAHA

Look at all his mortgaged properties!

After the game, we grilled up quite the feast!

We ate on my roof while waiting for the fireworks!

Look what flew over at dusk!
IMG_4454

We were able to see fireworks displays in every direction we looked!

IMG_4468 IMG_4462 IMG_4466

But the best fireworks were the ones the neighbors were shooting off right next door! They were so close and big!

But soon the police caught on and came by to arrest them… these blue and red lights are the police sirens. lol

Happy 4th of July!

Some of our friends invited us over for a backyard BBQ this weekend. They have the cutest house with a big yard, it was really fun! They grilled burgers up, and I made my signature Pasta Salad!

Step 1: Make a fun summery pasta…

Step 2: Dice up celery, carrots and black olives:
(Hint: I boil the carrots half way through so they’re not so crunchy)…

Step 3: Combine everything…

Step 4: Add 3/4 bottle of Italian Dressing…

And Viola!

Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies June 14, 2010

I had a total craving for some cookies that reminded me of being a kid. I finally found a recipe online for some Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies that was really, really good!IMG_4033

The dough was really hard to mix and it wasn’t blending well at first.
IMG_4034

So I ended up just using my hands to mix it all together.
IMG_4035

My favorite part was rolling the balls in sugar! (Don’t they look like Munchkins)?
IMG_4036

All lined up and ready to be baked!
 IMG_4038 IMG_4039

When they came out, I added the Hershey’s Kisses…..But not just any Hershey’s Kisses….. CARAMEL ones!!!!
IMG_4044

Ok… I lied up above… my favorite part was actually putting the Kisses into the cookies!
IMG_4046 

It felt like I was squishing the cookies too much, so I started inserting them upside down!
IMG_4047

BRILLIANT!
IMG_4048

OMG these were SOOOOOO good!!!!

The jury called these cookies “devine” and “yummalicious”.

I definitely have to make these again ASAP!
