So yesterday was a day of "Firsts."
Yesterday was the first SNOW FALL of winter!
(Up here in Salt Lake anyways)
AHH! It was lightly falling all day, and then at night it was coming down pretty hard.
Before we went to bed I looked out the window and said to Trevor, "It looks like Narnia outside!"
(Okay so it wasn't this magical outside... but you get the idea)
So walking to my 7:30AM Spin Class in the freezing cold was a blast...yay.
On a happier note, the other "First" that happened yesterday was that
I applied for graduation. Did you hear that correctly... GRADUATION?!
I didn't really think too much of it, but after having my advisers sign off the form and then handing it in...well it felt pretty darn good. Better then good. Better then I thought it would feel.
I was a little surprised with how excited I got over it to be honest, haha.
Graduation just feels so real and obtainable now, and so close :)
Anyways, Halloween is just around the corner!
Last year I tried to get creative and made some Mummy Dogs.
I think if you have kids or nieces or nephews this is something they would LOVE and could have for lunch or dinner.
It is also something super simple kids could help out with and have fun making with you.
(Just get some Pillsbury bread sticks and wrap the dough around the hot dogs and add eyes with mustard or ketchup!)
When it comes to impressive and creative food, I always go to Bakerella!
She is where I got my amazing cream cheese frosting and red velvet cake recipe from (I added the cheesecake!) The one I made for Trevor, remember?
If you are going to a Halloween party this year, here are some other really fun and cool treats you can make.
This is when I wish we had a bigger apartment, so I could throw a party, just for an excuse to make loads and loads of awesome treats and food like this!
the mummy dogs are such a good idea!
ReplyDeleteand CONGRATS on applying for graduation!

ReplyDeleteYou are right, Bakerella is always a great source for amazing treats. I just bought her cake pops book and plan to make the little ghosty pops for a halloween party.
I love Bakerella! I told my husband yesterday that I wish we had a "party house" instead of a small NYC studio apartment! He told me to have patience and that day will come. :) I don't think I can wait till then!

It snowed in SLC? I sure hope it doesn't snow down here in Cedar City for a while! I also made mummy dogs last year! They are so easy, cute, and incredibly delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and for wishing us well.
ReplyDeleteI hope that we are feeling better soon. My husband is now sick as well. :(
We are under our first Frost Adivsory of the season, but no snow yet. I love the first snow of the season. Always makes me feel like a little kid.
When I saw snow on the ground this morning I wanted to cry. haha seriously though it came WAY too soon. But maybe it was because I had to be at school at 6:30AM and was NOT looking forward to trudging out in the stuff.
ReplyDeleteThose mummy dogs are the cutest!
Oh I would love some snow! It was 81 degrees here yesterday...yuck.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on graduation!! That is WAY exciting!
