What did you think?

Good Morning! 

Hello!!! 

How are you?

Hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving!

I know I did! It was Perfect!!

Kris and I shared Thanksgiving with my parents and my sister and her husband in Myrtle Beach!

The Best Time!!

Audrey isn't very happy with me that she came home to her Boyfriend at our house and seems to think we got another dog... He is going home tonight though... I can't wait. Not that he's bad or anything but I want her to be happy and back to herself. 

I have missed her!

Alright....

I wasn't going to do this... but I have to...

*Spoiler Alert*

If You haven't watched Gilmore Girls The year in The Life then don't read today and Come back tomorrow and join me for Christmas discussions!!!

I decorated so I wanted to share it all with you!!!

Alright, well.... I loved seeing them all back on the show. It was great to see the town and everyone still doing their part.

One of my favorite moments was seeing Lane's band play! They rocked! Seeing them all was so cool!

I liked seeing Dean and Rory have they little convo and their little joke on the Cornstarch...

Jess... oh man Jess... How HOT looking was he? 

The Bathroom scene with Paris was another high light of the show for me!

Luke and Lorelei... Why did it take so long?! I feel like that should have already happened and just show me a recap.

I had mixed feelings about Rory... I mean I liked seeing that she was struggling made her more human to me but the Logan thing... ehh... I didn't like that too much cause Shame on both of them...

The Last 4 Words... well Im not sad that that's what they were but when they were actually said bothers me... That felt out of character... or more Rushed then anything...

I would like to hope there would be more... I'd say a spin off but then I don't know that that would really capture all of what Gilmore Girls is and was. 

Can't do a show without having everyone on it... They are all a family.. kinda an all or nothing... 

Alright....

Well I would love to hear your thoughts!

Hope you all have a great day!

Gilmore Girls

Dress Like A Gilmore Girl

Miss Patty's Punch

The Rory

Deviled Eggs

What will those Last 4 words be? 

They have to be really good for them to not want you to spoil it for the others....

I thought maybe today I could share a FUN FACTS about the show!

-  Keiko Agena, Who plays Lane, was 27 when the show premiered. That makes her six years younger than Lauren Graham who played Lorelai. Their Characters had a 16 year age difference!

- Scott Paterson , Who Plays Luke Danes, was actually a Baseball player before becoming an Actor

- Alexis Beldel and Milo Ventimiglia, Who play Rory and Jess actually dated off screen as well!

Alright, Enough from me Go watch the show and let me know what you think!!!

Now, if you would like to channel your inner Richard Gilmore by reading this pretty cool Article.......  Trulia.....  Please do!

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!

Pop Tart Appetizer anyone?

Hello!

3 more days!!

How many times have you watched the trailers on Netflix?

Twice everyday right? 

I know I'm not the only one?

Anyway.....

Now Pop Tarts are a must for your Gilmore Girl party... why? Well duh, Lorelei sat them out as an appetizer for the Chilton study group Rory had.  

Now personally I would stick with the store bought ones... I am a sucker for the Chocolate Fudge Pop Tarts... No one better mess with those if I am on my Pop Tart kick... Me on Hangry Status is nothing compared to my Pop Tart love!

Well these Taco Pop Tarts are perfect Twist to make for Gilmore Girls or your Taco Tuesdays!!! 


Beef Taco Pop Tarts

Ingredients:

2 boxes of refrigerated pie crust (total of 4 pie crusts), at room temperature
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
1/2 onion, Thinly sliced
1/2 pound of Ground Beef
1 Table Spoon of Taco Seasoning
1 cup of Cheddar cheese


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F and line two baking sheets.
Working with one pie crust at a time, unroll onto working surface and cut into six rectangles. Repeat with remaining crusts.
(should make about 12 rectangles)

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil until hot .
Saute onion for 5 minutes. 
Add beef and cook completely through like you would when making tacos.  
Add Taco seasoning and combine well.
Remove from heat and let cool.

Place six pie crust rectangles on one of your baking sheets. 

Spoon Beef and Cheese on top.

Top each with a cut crust and gently press around the edges. Use fork to make pretty edges.
make a few incisions on top to help let steam escape.

Once all Pop Tarts are filled and topped and made to look pretty, Bake for 15-20 minutes. 

I would serve with some Sour Cream and/or Guacamole if you wanted to make it real Taco Tuesday style.

If you make these Let me know what you think!!!

I'm sure I could eat Tacos every day!!!

What about you?

Someone prepared Deviled Eggs to throw at my car?

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!

Let me know what you thought!

The Rory

Good morning everyone!

Here is the next post to helping you throw The best Gilmore Girls Binge for the new show to come!!

 I know a little early to be discussing drinking... but... It's 5 o' clock somewhere and this has been the longest week and it's only TUESDAY...

 I got super excited though when I found this recipe!!! 

I am going to have to make this either for the girls to come over for the Gilmore Girls binge or for Me, Myself, and I to try. 

I mean how cool is it to try stuff from your favorite TV show?

Remember Rory's 21st Birthday party?!

Well Emily made her a signature drink for her party she threw her....

Called....

The Rory

1 oz Chilled Vodka

1.5-2 oz Pineapple Juice

0.5 oz grenadine

SHAKE!

and top with a float of champagne.

Add a cherry or lemon spiral for your garnish .

Now if you are like me... you are probably asking what does float of Champagne mean... Well you know how you learn something new everyday... well here you go...

Floating means to pour gently on top of the drink. Floating refers to the fact that you want the liquor to "Float" on top of the other ingredients. In this case you want the Champagne to float on top.

You also don't stir the drink after adding the float.

So of course it has to be a little complicated since well Emily picked it right?

I can't wait to make it and share with you my thoughts on it and I want to hear yours if you make it as well!!!

Now I was going to just do these posts on Tuesday... But I have found more recipes so.... Eek! There may have to be a Gilmore Girls Week to prep you for the Binge watching!

Gilmore Girls Post 1    

Please share what you are planning to do for your Gilmore Girls Binge party!

Whether you are going all out or eating a pop tart..... I want to know!

I am so super excited!!!

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Hope you enjoy this post!!!

Have an awesome day!

<3 Ashley

So it's a show? It's a Lifestyle! It's a Religion!

Hey!!!

Hello!

Good Morning!!!

How are you?!

Can you believe it's already November?

This year has really flown by!

On the way to work, the radio stations were talking about Christmas.... Well I am all about Christmas as well.... BUT.... I'm ready for BLACK FRIDAY!!! 

Now, I don't know about you but I won't be Black Friday shopping..... Never really have been shopping on Black Friday but I won't start this year... Because THE GILMORE GIRLS ARE BACK!!!!

You are going to want to get Netflix if you don't have it already!

Did you seen the Trailer?! Didn't you just smile from ear to ear with a few tears?!!!

November 25.... Can't come soon enough!!!

I will be watching at least one episode with my mom!

Then the binge watching will occur once I am home. 

 That show was our show. I have been watching it to give myself a refresher and gosh I have needed tissues.

Just makes me think about my mom and our relationship and how we have been Rory and Lorelei.

....sniffle sniffle....

Okay Next!

Now I just started the last season last night and I really don't think I watched the last season because I am not remembering anything....

Anyway....

Let's talk about the BOYS! 

I can't wait to see where Luke and Lorelei are at in their relationship!

Hopefully together!

The start of season 7 they aren't and like I said I don't remember any of that going on.... 

Now onto Rory......

Which team are you? Team Dean..... Team Jess.... or Team Logan?

I would be alright if Rory was with Dean.... I like Jess the most... but I hope she is not with Logan!

Dust off those coffee mugs and order that pizza to go with all the junk food possible!

Now every Tuesday of this month I will be sharing with you a different thing to add to your Gilmore Girl Binge!

You're welcome!

If you have any ideas or a must have while watching the show share it with us!

I can't wait!!
