from blogger via share button to tumblr to fbook and twitter

OK - here's the true test - putting up a POST at my blogger and will then use the ADD THIS feature for SHARE BUTTONS that I added to the main HTML code, and see if putting it in tumblr, will then auto flow out to twitter and fbook.....

Bunco Jumble.....Is it candy or salty snack?

Dave’s stories on the Junior League of Tampa CULINARY COLLECTION and how those books all came about are truly amazing. It is inspiring what the leagues do within their communities.

I can’t wait to see their new book, CAPTURE THE COASTS.

In the meantime, let me share with you one of my all time favorite recipes from this collection. It comes from THE LIFE OF THE PARTY, which is so fabulous - 80% of the recipes can be done ahead of time, so you are the Life of the Party!

Bunco Jumble is one of those special treats that you can get totally creative with. It makes great gifts in clear cellophane bags (colors in the mix can match the occasion or season) and it’s the best snack item to serve at any youth event, as I’ve found from personal experience with my own church youth group!



Enjoy….

1 box mini Ritz peanut butter sandwich crackers
1 cup dry roasted peanuts
1 (12-oz) bag mini pretzel sticks or twists
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cut light corn syrup
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 (10-oz) package mini or regular “M&M’s” chocolate candies
Combine the sandwich crackers, peanuts and pretzels in a large roasting pan. Heat the sugar, butter and corn syrup in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the vanilla and baking soda. Pour over the cracker mixture, stirring to coat well. Bake at 250 degrees for 45 minutes, stirring the mixture every 15 minutes. Remove to waxed paper and the chocolate candies and let cool completely. Break up the mixture into small pieces as necessary.
Yield: handfuls of fun!

You can also use mini cookies, graham cracker bears, popcorn, candy corn, jelly beans, Reese’s pieces, pecans….the combinations are only limited by your own imagination!

Peace….Anne

Culinary Collection Finishes Strong...

 

I have so enjoyed the journey with Dave as he reminisced about all the ladies he worked with from the Junior League of Tampa, as they set out to create a collection of cookbooks. This last book, Capture the Coast, looks to be a very strong finale to the series!

I loved watching their VIDEO of the behind-the-scenes food shots and location setups. I've never attended one of these, but have heard that they are grueling work. From the video it looks like these ladies are having a lot of fun along the way.

So, Kudos to the Junior League of Tampa for improving their community with works and projects which truly impact the neighborhoods where they live. You are all an inspiration!

Peace.....Anne
