Father's Day Festiveness

Sunday, June 30, 2013

Happy belated Father's Day! I was looking through some pictures on my computer and came across several of Father's Day that I thought were blog-worthy.

We started the day with a Bloody Mary Bar because you can't go wrong with that. Ever. (Side note: my boyfriend just showed me a picture of a really fancy bloody mary. Dude. Do not show me pictures of fancy bloody marys unless you can grab the drink from your computer and hand it to me! Party foul.) Anyways, back to the bloody mary bar. My staples include worcestershire, pickles, jalapeƱos, olives, pepper & spicy tomato juice. My dad is a sophisticated man and had bloody mary flavored vodka, so of course we were using that, making the occasion all the more special!

I want one nowwwwww. I was feeling particularly extravagant this day and even added some bacon to the mix.


Maybe it was the bloody marys, but I also decided I was going to make my Dad a homemade Father's Day cake that looked like a hole-in-one. Because what screams Happy Father's Day like a homemade golf cake?! It was actually quite easy to make (maybe that was also the bloody marys talking) and I think it turned out quite nice. I used a small glass to remove part of the chocolate cake to look like a hole-in-one and got one three of those frosting dispensers to create the green grass. I made the flag with a toothpick and some construction paper and just happened to find those mini golf clubs in my "junk drawer" at home. Father was impressed.





Snack Time

Snack time is my favorite time. And with the summer off, I've had a lot time to indulge in this pastime. Most of my snacks are pretty boring but these bad boys are tasty & cute... and super simple to make, albeit a little messy.

For this perfect summer snack, you'll need almond butter (or PB or Nutella - if you're into that kinda thing), bananas and toothpicks (you don't reeeeally need the toothpicks but everything is better on a stick!)


Slice the bananas, smear a small dollop of the almond butter atop one slice, place another banana slice on top and skewer each one with a toothpick. (Insert messiness here). But here is the really hard part: put them in the freezer for about an hour before eating.


Waiting, waiting hating waiting.
