SENIOR LADY: SUPER BOWL SNACKS TRY-OUTS!

  I have never been a sports fanatic. I did enjoy basketball  during my college days.  My husband and one of my sons  enjoy watching football and basketball games on T.V. I must prepare myself for a lot of noise during the game. on Super  Bowl Sunday.  They yell and jump around all night. I do watch the half- time festivities  with  them.  I treat the guys to finger foods and appetizers on Super Bowl Sunday. It's my way of getting out of preparing Sunday's full course meals. I try to add a few new appetizers each  year.  This year I'm trying Rotel Dip and Bacon Wrapped  Hot Dogs.

  Most people who have loved ones find Valentine's Day a challenge.  They want to find a unique gift  to  show a lot  of time was spent  choosing the perfect  gift(s). This  can demonstrate how much  they love  that special someone. I love to indulge in aromatherapy using  diffuser oils, incense and candles.   Especially,  on Valentine's Day. Romantic  smells in  the room causes me to feel elated  and happy. I have to be careful when purchasing items for aromatherapy.  Some scents  and smells  gives  me a migraine or  an allergic reaction.  I must test  unfamiliar smells  or scents  before  I commit to purchasing a lot of incense, diffuser oils, and  candles.

Most people who have loved ones find Valentine's Day a challenge.  They want to find a unique gift  to  show a lot  of time was spent  choosing the perfect  gift(s). This  can demonstrate how much  they love  that special someone. My girlfriends and I are widows.  We haven't  found  that special someone yet.  We are in no  rush to locate  "HIM".  This situation doesn't  keep us from celebrating Valentine's Day.  We  meet for lunch and drink coffee or  wine.  We eat our favorite  meal and feast  on our favorite chocolate desserts.  They  love to wear red when we meet for lunch.  I love  to wear purple t-shirts with hearts  or  the word "love" displayed  on it.  I make a Valentine's Wreath each year.  Last year  I  challenged myself  to use purple  and red colors  on  my wreath. Here is the...

Every Christmas my family wants me to prepare a  sausage breakfast  casserole. I do not serve biscuits with it since bread is inside of the casserole. I wanted to surprise my family with an extra side dish, I was watching cooking videos to get some ideas. I saw am image of a Candy Cane Danish, It looked like it would be hard to bake such a pretty pastry. I was intrigued, so I watched the video.
