I Don't Wanna Be......

Oh man hearing just those words sung...

The excitement that fills me!

I recently started watching the seasons of One Tree Hill that I never watched due to my boycotting days.... due to (spoiler alert)

Lucas, Peyton, and Sawyer leaving the show...

Not really sure what made me go back to watch the rest of the show.... 

ANYWAY..... I may still be mad about Lucas and Peyton... but umm The show is awesome!

(more spoilers)

I mean I am still watching the show going oh Lucas wouldn't have let that happen... or Hello Peyton would have totally been there!

Okay enough about that....

I think a couple has totally filled the Lucas and Peyton void though....

I love Clay and Quinn

Peyton was always my favorite but I have to say... Quinn might be my girl now!

I mean she sang a song about Toaster Pasteries!

Toaster pastry, it tastes so good and yummy. Toaster pastry, get into my tummy. Frosting doodle, on my strudel. And now I’m gonna eat you up!

I mean who wouldn't love her?!

Brooke Davis reminds me of Blair on Gossip Girl... I didn't like her in the beginning and then she became my favorite.... Brooke is my 3rd favorite at the moment!

She has made me cry a lot.

Also, I feel so silly for not realizing that Alex was country music singer Jana Kramer...

I think I had my hater shades on too tight cause I was all Team Brooke!

I apologize!

I start the last season tonight! I'm excited to see what happens and how the show ended.

One of my best friends and I would like to go tour Wilmington NC to see the different sights from the show.

Added to my bucket list!

If you are a fan of the show... Let Me Know!

If you have toured Wilmington... Please Please please share with me what you saw!

Hope you all have an awesome day!

I'm so ready to race home and get all cuddly on the couch with the dogs and watch One Tree Hill!

Could I Be A Full Time Binge Watcher?

Good Morning!

Wouldn't you love to be able to have your retail therapy session covered by your insurance?

Be a stay at home Dog mom?

Get to be a Full Time binge watcher?

Yeah me too!

Lately I have felt like that's all I have been doing... the binge watching....

Which I love!

No commercials....

No waiting for the next episode.... unless you finish the season and there is more to come...

I am looking for a new show to binge watch and was wondering if you could help me?

My plan this weekend is to just chill....

So I am going to need a new show to help out with that!

Here's a list of everything I have binge watched within the last month.

Prison Break; Seasons 1-4 On Netflix and then the 3 new season episodes

I was so hooked and kept asking myself Why I hadn't watched the show when it was on regular TV back in the day? Michael and Lincoln are such a great team and well not that bad to look at.  I will say though it was hard for me to see Michael ( Wentworth Miller) not as the swim team member that turned into a fish on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. If any of you can remember that from so long ago. (Season 2 Episode 20 Titled Go Fish) Oh and Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) because well I see her as Rick's wife Lori on Walking Dead. The story though was so cool how it all played out! The 3 new episodes have made me very happy to see that the show hasn't changed!!

Grace and Frankie : (Season 3)

I never thought I could laugh so hard at "old ladies"! If you haven't watched this show it's a must. They live is such a beautiful house and are kinda of like the " odd couple" kinda of living.  You know one messy one proper. Anyway, in this season Grace and Frankie are trying to get their Vibrators on the market. Yep... you read right. Super funny! Definitely a must see! Not going to say any more because I don't want to spoil it for anyone!

13 Reasons Why : (Season 1)

This show has been posted on my news feeds in social media because of some many people watching it. This show is a REAL show.  the Real kind of feeling you get from watching This Is Us. It's a young girl in high school who shows you the 13 reasons as to why she committed suicide. Now it looked like normal school life.... its what happens. It was great to see it really shown what happens in schools now a days because it's true it is what was happening in middle school which is why I begged to Home school for high school. It does get a little gruesome because they show the girl committing suicide and They showed a rape took place. Not only was it just about the suicide they touched on how the one raping didn't think of himself as raping the girls. I feel like the show is a must see for all young boys and girls to show them this is what goes on... DON'T DO IT! Make the change!

Stranger Things : (Season 1)

I don't even know what to say about this show besides it was STRANGE! I liked it though! Some twists occurred which makes me ready to watch the next season when it comes out for sure. 

Big Little Lies : (Season 1)

I just finished this show! 7 episodes! This was one of my favorite show I have seen in a very long time! I mean the very first scene they show people dressed like Audrey Hepburn! How could it not be a Kick Butt Show! This show has such an AWESOME CAST! Which is what drew me to watch the show. Reese Witherspoon Who I have loved in so many movies... Legally Blonde...Sweet Home Alabama....Cruel Intentions....Four Christmases....This Means War...Walk The Line... and so on and so on..... Nicole Kidman who I'm really not a fan of... not just because she is married to Keith Urban my dilike for her was before he came into the picture....Shailene Woodley who is the lead in some of my favorite movies the Divergent movie series with Zoe Kravitz who is also on the show as well.... and Alexander Skarsgard which if any of you True Blood fans miss him as Eric... well Watch this show! The show had to me a kind of Pretty Little Liars feel to it so very much suggested a must watch for you PLL fans! Many Twists and turns on the show and I am so ready to see the next episode! The finale was one that was very vocal through! Mostly saying " I told you! I knew it!" Then with a " OMG! NO WAY!"  Must watch!

Oh also I watched Big Little Lies on the Fire Stick TV thing we have... I really don't know much about it to even explain what that is...

I married a nerd so... yeah...

Alright, so if any of you have any show suggestions that will top those.... Give them to me!

If you have watched these shows... I would love to hear your thoughts on them as well!

So Comment Comment Comment!!

Hope you all have a great day!

Pizza and Candy Gilmore girls

Hey!

Hello!

Good Morning!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This post is all about FOOD!

Can you think about any more food?

Well for your Gilmore Girl Feast you still more stuff like......

Chinese or Pizza!

Right?

That was a main staple in the movie watching of the Gilmore Girls!

If you get Chinese make sure everyone can eat out of the container cause it's better in the container of course!

Now pizza, call one to be delivered, make your own, or you can make these little finger food ones!

I will say these don't make a lot but so good!

Crescent Roll Pizza Dippers

1 can of Crescent Rolls ( makes 8)

Mozzarella Cheese sticks (4 cut in half)

Pepperonis ( 2-3 on each crescent roll)

Follow the directions on crecent roll can

Place each ingredient on  each cut piece and roll up 

I like to serve these with Pizza sauce or Alfredo sauce... Totally from the jars... nothing fancy but gives a little bit of extra yumminess.

 My friend brought these over to one of my Christmas get togethers and they were a hit.

 Simple but yummy!

Now the Gilmore Girls always had loads of Candy with their movie nights...

I am not a candy fan myself but I would like to try this......

Twizzlers with a twist

Dry strawberries in the oven for 3 hours at 210 degrees. They taste like Twizzlers but are healthier for you!

Hope you all have a Wonderful day!

Enjoy every Minute of it!

Gilmore Girls Recipe for Coffee Cakes

Hey Hey Hey!

One more day Closer to the show!!!

Eek! The excitement is just building more and more and MORE!!!!!

I am really going all out for this Gilmore Girls return!

Have I mentioned my excitement for the return?

Now just what is something that is a MUST that you should have with the Gilmore Girls binge?

COFFEE! 

I read a fun fact that I wanted to share with you because well it put some things into perspective for me... just a little bit.. 

Drink Coffee like a Gilmore saying is definitely no walk in the park for sure... Now I understand why they always talked so freaking fast.. all the caffeine they drink!!! 

Did you know that 503 cups of coffee were consumed on the show? Holy Cow!

 Season one was the most caffeinated with 80 cups!

Alexis Bledel doesn't like coffee she drank soda..

Either way!! Holy Cow!!

 Am I right? 

Now you may not be able to drink coffee like a Gilmore.... So why not make a Coffee Mug Cake!

Still goes with the theme right? 

S'More Coffee Cake

Ingredients:

1/3 Cup of dry Fudge Brownie mix
1 Tablespoon of Fat Free Egg product
1 Tablespoon of Vegetable oil
1 Teaspoon of Water
2 Tablespoons of Mini Marsh Mellows
2 teaspoons of graham crackers
1 Teaspoon of mini semisweet chocolate chips


DIRECTIONS:

Spray bottom of microwaveable mug (12oz) with cooking spray.
In a small bowl combine brownie mix, egg product, vegetable oil, and water.
Spoon batter into mug
Microwave uncovered on High 40-50 seconds or until top is set and toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from microwave and top with Marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate chips. Let stand for about a minute to allow marsh mellows to soften. 

I have sometimes made it and just like iced the top of the cake with Marsh Mellow fluff you know for those impatient moments.... Tastes just the same and if you are wanting a chocolate fix... This is going to be your best friend!

Hope you enjoy this treat!

Hope to hear S'More from you.....

Enjoy!

Hey Hey Hey!

How are we all doing today?!

Now these could be something to help you get brownie points with the family for Thanksgiving or just save for your girl for you Gilmore Girl Binge. 2 for 1 deal!!

Why Deviled Eggs for a Gilmore Girl binge watching party? Well in Season 3 episode 6 titled:  "Take the Deviled Eggs" Lorelei and Rory " deviled egged" Jess's Car. And...Well why not make these to laugh about that "Off The Charts" great moment!

Now yes I am Team Jess but have to admit that was super funny!

I'm sure everyone has their way of making Deviled Eggs and they are actually something I stay away from... I like them don't get me wrong but after eating them I don't like them... But these were ones my friend made and I tried one and it was worth it! 



Jalapeno Bacon Deviled Eggs

Ingredients:

12 hard cooked eggs, peeled and halved lengthwise
1/2 cup of Mayonnaise
3 Tbsp. Mustard
1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon
1/4 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp. sweet pickle relish
1/2 cup of crispy Jalapenos

Directions:

Remove egg yokes, reserving the egg whites
Mash the egg yokes in a small bowl and stir in remaining ingredients
Put into egg whites

You can garnish with extra bacon or jalapenos

Refrigerate until ready to serve. 

They were super good and I have to say I may try and make them for the holidays as well as my Gilmore Girl Binge!

Hope you enjoy!
