Another new hobby

So I did finally get my nevada hygiene license about two days ago, so now I am on hunt for a job. Nobody is hiring, so I hope I can find somewhere. However, with Dave being gone on work every night, I have started baking/cooking alot. I have always enjoy cooking, I just always hated deciding what to make and I don't really like grocery shopping either. Anyway, a few months ago, my mom and I went to an amazing bread making class so I decided I would play with that and try and make a few different things. I make bread and pizza all the time with it, but I thought I would try some other things. Here is what I made:


Pizza Rolls

Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Raspberry Rolls

PS...It all tastes delicious!! I recommend the pantry secrets bread making class to anyone. It is amazing, and it is so easy! Start to finish in 1 hour!
PPS...if anyone knows any dentists in Nevada, put in a good word for me, or keep me in your prayers that I may find somewhere!

Halloween Patio Decorating Contest

Our apartment complex is having a patio decorating contest for Halloween and is giving away money and prizes so I thought we would go for it. It didn't turn out spooky but I like how it looks. I took a few pics so let me know what you think...





















HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Food, Food, and more Food

Ok, so Dave and I are pretty big lovers of food. My parents were down this last weekend with the Tuttles (the friends) and we were able to go to the Seafood Buffet with them. This is one of their favorite places. They come to Vegas 1-2 times a year with their friends and they always go to the Rio Seafood Buffet. I got some good photos of all of our yummy food!







Also, Dave is a HUGE burger fan! Did I say huge? Anyway, there is a burger joint in Vegas called Fatburger and it is pretty good. However, there menu is burgers by sizes...so you can order a S, M, L, XL, XXL, or XXXL. Dave and I went there the other night and of course Dave had to get the XXXL. He had already gotten it when I was away in Arkansas but for some reason he had to prove to me that he really could eat it. I told him I already knew he could and that it would make him sick. (Of course his tummy was not feeling very good that night, but I managed to get some pictures of the burger before he devoured it!)






And last but not least I had to post some pictures of the fun, yummy dessert I made over conference weekend. Thanks to bakerella.com (you need to check out that website) we were able to enjoy these fun treats. They are called cake pops on the website because she actually puts them on a stick like suckers but I just made cake balls instead. They are red velvet with cream cheese frosting and then they are dipped in milk chocolate or white chocolate. Yummy, especially with milk!!!

My new project

Since I have had a lot of time on my hands lately since I am not working yet, I decided I needed to do some projects. The first thing I have started with is homemade headbands. I made about 8 to start with, but I am still working on others that I had ideas for. Here are some pictures of how they turned out...I quite like them. Let me know what other fun projects you have done! I would be happy for any ideas to keep me busy! Our apt. complex is having a competition for the best halloween decorated porch, so let me know if anyone has any fun ideas for that too!
