Congratulations to the fabulous blogger who charmed the socks off of LambAround readers to claim the most votes for the Best in Show award! Way to go, Mika's Pantry ! I made your Chinese Spaghetti with Spicy Meat Sauce for dinner the other night and it was scrumptious. I hope everyone will visit your blog, where they'll find yummy recipes like: Roast Beef and Gravy , which is made in the Crock Pot and contains very bad ingredients (that make this completely good!) Rainbow Sugar Cookies - how gorgeous are these?! Now, get ready to link up with another Not "Baaad" (get it?) Sunday Linky Party! I know what you're thinking. There are already a zillion blog hops out there, Lamb! What makes yours so special? I'll tell you what makes mine special. 3 things! 1. This Linky is open to all posts that you are proud of. Did you recently post about a great decorating project, craft, or recipe? That's wonderful if you did, but just fine if you didn't. 2. Do

We thought this would be the perfect break from the chaos of screaming children (and their parents!) in her everyday life. (Ever wonder why I don't have kids? My job, my job, my job. Seriously, if they could figure out a way to market it, working in a pediatric dental office would be the best-selling, most effective birth control of all time. The kids are cute, but I'm ready for a break from them by the end of the day my lunch break 9:05 am.) I'm not at all crafty, so I was pretty pleased with how my tea party invitation turned out. The crown is a $0.75 wood accent from Michaels.   The St. James Tearoom in Albuquerque, NM is the perfect place for a girls' day. Where can I find a dog like this for my front patio? It's a much warmer welcome than what our rambunctious Jack Russell terrier, Pi

Over the weekend I spent my time browsing through several newly discovered food blogs. Thank goodness for the creation of tabs! Seriously, I stayed up past midnight on Friday, past 1am Saturday night, and was so grateful that my office was closed on Monday so that I could spend even more time searching for new things to cook. Work. A decent paycheck. These things seem overrated when faced with photo after photo of drool-inducing yummiess. That said, I only made one recipe during my entire three day weekend. Popovers, courtesy of one of my favorite food blogs, Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice. They were quick, easy, and delicious both when fresh and reheated. I bookmarked the recipe under the title MAKE THESE POPOVERS EVERY DAY!!! Most of my tried and true recipes only have 1 or 2 exclamation marks, so that should really give you an indication of how great these are. My only changes were to use butter instead of oil and, because I'm impatient, to let them sit in the ove

Quick, fast, and in a hurry, (aka I want to announce the winners but I also just got home from work and I'm starving ) the nominees for this week's Best in Show Award are:   Fowl Single File for sharing these cute, cute, CUTE penguins (and for pointing out that this was her first time working with fondant, which sounds ridiculous to me!)   Flexible Dreams for this flannel jumper tutorial. The photos are pretty cute too!   The Girl Diagnosed for cracking me up every time I visit her blog. Really, she will probably cuss me out for nominating her, but I love her blog anyway. Dirt Cheap Decor (love the name!) for teaching how to make this sophisticated Valentine's Day banner. Bugaboo, Mini Mr. & Me for making me laugh with this post. Food, Folks, and Fun for this healthy alternative to traditional General Tso's Chicken Three Boys for inspiring me to clean my house (it really needed it!) Mika's Pantry for posting this Chinese Spaghetti with Spicy Mea
