Last year my hubby and I spent the whole weekend down there. This year we one did one day. Due to my hubby had to work on Saturday.

There was so much food to choose from. A food must to get at this fest is pork on a stick with bread. Which on Saturday my news feed on facebook was blowing up with everyone meat on a stick photo's. Another must have item to get at the music fest is an Erdbeere bowl(Strawberry bowl). If you have been reading my blog for a while. Then you know a fest is not complete without a crepes for me.

On Friday night I knew I wanted to wear my flower headband. So I went to my closet and pulled out this pink dress. Which I haven't worn in 3 year.  So it was time to dust it off and wear it again.

 Hello Everyone. Today I'm hear to introduce you all to a company called Sensation of Night. There an online company that sell sexy lingerie. When they contacted me to do a review for them. I was a little unsure if I wanted to do it or not. Due to the fact its a lingerie company. So before I said yes. I went and check out there website and was surprised at all the different thing that they had to offer.  

 Not only does Sensation of Night carry sexy lingerie but they also carry beautiful dress. Once I seen that. I sent them a message back saying that I would do it. Since I have been  wanting another maxi dress. This maxi dress is nothing like the other maxi dress I own. It is more dresser then my other two. Which I totally love. 

This dress comes in blue, pink and white. Which I know it might shock some people that I decide to go with the blue. I asked my husband what color I should get and he said blue. So blue it was. 

What nice about this dress is the gold accent in it. Also it's unique cut. One downside to this dress in there no belt loops for the belt. So it kept riding up and turning on me. Over all I'm super happy with this dress and so can't wait to wear it to a summer party. 

  If you get a chance go check out Sensation of Night website. Along with there facebook page. 

Linking up to Favorite Friday Fashion.

HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY AND WEEKEND.

Pin it and Did it: Monthly Recipe Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs

• Happy Spring Everyone, I'm back with another Pin it and Did it post. It been a few weeks since I last did one of these post. This time around I bring you bacon cheeseburger bombs. My hubby find this recipe on Facebook and sent it me the recipe in a private message that way I could make it. The recipe come from Spend with Pennies blog.  I didn't use the picture she pinned on pinterest due to
•  it is copyrighted. So you get too look at my picture. If you get a chance go over to 
• her blog and check out her picture of these Cheeseburger bombs. These little bugger
• are amazing. 

I did change the recipe up some when I made these. Instead of using junior biscuits. 

I used the the large biscuits. Thats the only thing I changed up 

with this recipe. 

• Ingredients
• 
  
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped
• 3 slices of bacon, chopped
• 1/3 cup cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 egg white
• 1 can Pillsbury Biscuits (10 biscuits)
• 5 oz cheddar cheese, chopped into 10 squares

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

 In a large pan, brown ground beef, bacon and onion until cooked. Drain any grease.

Add cream cheese, ketchup, barbecue sauce, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Stir over low heat until cream cheese is melted. Allow to cool. Once cool, stir in egg white.

Roll each biscuit out very thin. Place 2 tablespoons beef mixture on each biscuit and add 1 square of cheese. Wrap the biscuit around the beef/cheese and tightly seal the edges.

Place biscuits on a parchment lined pan s

seam side down. Put them in the oven and turn down the heat to 350 degrees. Bake 13-16 minutes or until lightly browned.

Serve warm.

HAVE A GREAT THURSDAY. 

Monthly Recipe: Breakfast Bake

Breakfast Bake

Ingredients

5 eggs

¼ cup milk

16 oz refrigerated breakfast biscuits (I used the Pillsbury flakey kind) ** DO NOT PRE-BAKE

4 scallions (green onions, spring onions, whatever you prefer to call them)

1 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese

If you’re into the meats – cooked center cut bacon or cooked sausage

Directions 

11×17 pan, sprayed with cooking spray (Note: I think a 9×13 works better, but might need to bake a little longer)

1. Mix your eggs and milk in a large bowl. Cut each biscuit (I’m all about scissors in the kitchen) into fours and add it to the bowl. I like to do this before I cook the bacon or cut up the scallions – give the biscuits some time to really soak in the eggs.

2. Cut up your scallions, shred your cheese, cook and break up your bacon (or sausage). Add everything to the bowl. 

3. Mix it all up and pour into your pan. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes (make sure it isn’t runny – mine this morning took 28 mins).

Hello Everyone. Welcome to the first monthly recipe of 2014. I plan on trying a good amount of recipe this year. I try to make one new recipe every month. Then I share them with you all. Some turn out good and some not so much. Last month Crockpot Cashew Chicken did not turn out all the great. Hubby and me decide I wouldn't cook that recipe again. 

I find this recipe on Crockpot Facebook page. Which I would link the page but it seem to not want to work for me. I have also seen this recipe on pinterest.

Souce

Hubby and me really enjoy this recipe and I will be making it again some time. This time hopefully I won't burn it. I'm still trying to learn on how to cook food on celsius degree. One of these day I will get it right and not burn food. I have gotten better at it.  I'm just happy for the Appbox pro app I have on my phone. That way I can change things from fahrenheit degree to celsius degree. 

Don't forget to enter my Favorite Things Giveaway. 

HAVE A GREAT WEDNESDAY.

2013 Outfit Recap

Hello Everyone. I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite outfit with you all from 2013.  I also asked on my blog facebook page for people to let me know what their favorite outfit was for 2013 as well.  Also asked my friend to tell me their too. After I got what everyone favorite outfit was that I wore in 2013. I put them all together in this collage.

 My style change a lot last year. Mainly due I went from working 5 days a week in retail to becoming a housewife. Which working retail you have to be up with the last trends and look cute. Also put together.  Being a housewife it doesn't matter what you wear or look like. It took me a couple month after I quiet my job to get back in to wearing cute clothes again. For a few month I was just wearing t-shirt or a hoodie with jeans . If you have been reading my blog for awhile now. You know I took a blogger break for a couple month. That was mainly to get myself back together after the move and to get settled in. Also to figure out where I want my blog to go. I want to thank my fellow blog friends. Who e-mailed me or Instagram me. To make sure I was still alive and doing okay. 

It wasn't until October. When I really got back in to blogging my outfits. BBCA(Blogging for Breast Cancer awarness) really helped me out with that and I'm happy to be back. I really have fun putting my outfit together and showing you all of them. Also with finally getting back in to blogging. I have decide I will only be blogging 6 days a week. Instead of every day like I did in the past. Also I will only be posting outfit every other day. 

Now on to my favorite outfit for 2013.
