March Madness Basket(cake)balls

Why do I do this to myself? I eat completely weird combinations of food that should not be seen together!!!

I promise – I know how to cook, but I’m notoriously known for eating strange off-the-wall dinners. I’m busy. I’m not married yet. I do not have kids yet. I’m hungry. Therefore, it happens. Plus, I’m only harming myself when I do this…

Example 1: Monday’s dinner consisted of buffalo chicken and a chocolate banana protein shake. WTH?!

Example 2: Wednesday I had a snack that consisted of a vanilla latte and jalopeno cheddar chex mix. GAG. It seemed like a good idea when I saw the chex mix, then I saw the latte, and ended up with both. Let’s just say these things do not belong together and should not be consumed within the same hour of eachother.

There’s just something about spicy foods when combined with sweet milky drinks that DOES NOT go together.

I know, your glad I told you this. What would you have done without me?!

On another note – cake, frosting, and chocolate and/or vanilla candiquik DO go together. March and Basketball DO go together. I’m on a roll.

Slam Dunk Cookies

If someone told me 10 years ago “giving is better than receiving” I would have looked at them with one eyebrow raised and nodded in “agreement” while thinking to myself *this person is crazy and they obviously have no idea what they are talking about*. Receiving is WAY better than giving – pssh.

However, I’ve matured changed quite a bit. And while receiving is nice (I mean – who doesn’t like gifts!?) – giving is definitely more rewarding.

Don’t you love the feeling when you receive a message from someone saying “You just made my day”?

Okay, that’s your life lesson of the day – which has absolutely nothing to do with what I’m about to share with you.

Basketball Cookies! See, told ya.

I saw these originally over at Family Fun – who has the cutest ideas, all the time…I guess they are associated with Disney.
