Sal and Mookie's Festival

Jason will do anything for his girls - including being the only one on the dance floor!

Chick Snack

Anne Parks was in charge of bringing a snack for her class the other day. She wanted to take chocolate, chocolate truffle cake (the kid is a chocoholic!), but settled for Oreo Truffles instead.

The recipe is very easy. It is a little messy, though!

Ingredients: 1 box of Oreos, 2 boxes semi-sweet Baker's chocolate, 8 oz cream cheese

Step 1: Crush the Oreos.

The Ziploc wasn't cutting it, so we opted for the food processor.

Step 2: Set aside a handful of crushed Oreos and put the rest in a bowl and mix with softened cream cheese.

Step 3: Have a taste!

Step 4, 5 and 6: Roll Oreo mixture into balls. Dip into melted chocolate. Sprinkle with crushed Oreos.

The looked awful, (We ended up calling them "Mud Balls".), but boy they were good!

Ragin' Cajuns

We had a fun visit in Lafayette during Spring Break! We did lots of things, but one of the girls favorites was going to the Ragin' Cajuns football practice.

Nora is not intimidated by big football players. After this pic, he started running sprints, and Nora just ran with him! I had to chase her across the practice field!
