On Your Marks. Get Set. Tailgate!

40

I love tailgating.  Yes, the place to do it is at the stadium, but with little kids around that can be hard.  So we usually “tailgate” at my friend Treena’s house.  Beer, football, friends, food, and fire (the boys love to grill).  What more could you want?   Oh course I couldn’t resist getting in [...]

Today is recipe 3 out of 4 from Otto’s birthday party.  These banana bites were really fun to make and can be used in so many different ways.   If you hadn’t noticed we did a super hero theme for the party.  I found these superhero posters online and knew they would make great decorations. [...]
