Sometimes you just need enough to knock the edge off, not a whole pan's worth that you'll nibble on for five days. That's why I LOVE this list of 18 Microwave Snacks You Can Cook in a Mug from <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/arielknutson/delicious-snacks-in-a-mug" target="_blank">Buzzfeed.com</a>! I want to try about six of these IMMEDIATELY. Here are my top three:<br />

With all of the fun fall events that are upon us, it's imperative that you have a welcoming yet stylish table for your guests to enjoy. Fall is a great time to make use of nature's rustic charm and wonderful decor assets. Use pine cones, leaves, apples or acorns to bring autumn to your table without breaking the bank. And if you turn it into a fun game, you can use the kids as your free labor for gathering decor items from the yard. (Did I say that???)<br />
<br />
Here are a few things I found while perusing the net that I loved for my fall table. So many options...how will I ever decide?<br />
<br />

What a great craft for this time of year! <br />
<br />
We all have those sweaters that sit in the bottom of the drawer that you've convinced yourself for the last two winters that you'll wear again one day. That day has never come and here you are on your third winter of deciding what to do with that same sweater. Well here you go! No need to feel guilty any longer about not wanting to wear that sweater that you once upon a time HAD to have. <br />
<br />
As you're going through your old sweaters this fall, don't just throw or give away the ones that don't fit, that no longer are on trend, or that you haven't worn and can't justify keeping. <br />
<br />
This is an excellent way to repurpose something unused into something adorable! See how to do it at <a href="http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2012/02/hats-made-from-old-sweaters-nothing-is-safe-from-my-scissors-ha.html" target="_blank">makeit-loveit.com</a>.<br />

You know...like when you go to a cookout or holiday dinner and you just simply cannot wait for Auntie Dee Dee's world famous, and always raved about, macaroni and cheese to make its grand entrance. The dish that people discuss beforehand, wondering and hoping..."I hope Aunt Dee Dee makes her mac n' cheese this year..." And once they arrive and get word that it's almost done, guests sit around waiting for it to be brought out of the oven and people grin and get giddy when that aluminum foil reveals the yellow, cheesy, bread crumb-topped goodness that lies beneath it. <br />
<br />
I want to be that person and I want to have that dish. <br />
<br />
While I still think I'm on the hunt for that must-be-present food item, I do think I've found one that, for the time being, has at least been requested once or twice since making its debut.<br />

I found these awesome buffalo chicken rolls on <a href="http://www.canyoustayfordinner.com/2011/01/31/buffalo-chicken-rolls/">Can You Stay For Dinner</a> and I made them with great apprehension, since cooking is not my personal strong suit. While the recipe seemed simple...I'd never dealt with egg roll wrappers (which I actually couldn't find in my grocery store) or any other dough for that matter. I substituted the wrappers with <a href="http://www.athensfoods.com/products/consumerproduct.aspx?id=1">Athens Fillo Dough</a>, and used mozzerella cheese instead of blue cheese crumbles, and got to baking. <br />
<br />
The chicken prep was super easy, and the dough was a cinch to work with. Another simple substitution was vegetable oil instead of spray and vice versa. And even though it felt like I was totally over-oiling, the key is to not let the dough dry out, and everything else will work itself out just fine. Though...mine came out in all sorts of fun, miscellanous shapes and sizes...but...lol...they tasted just great. And everybody just chalked it up to my quirkiness...if they even noticed at all.Sweet Treatshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04770191777812144140noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938268395550670374.post-84060088438076544832012-05-28T17:44:00.004-04:002012-07-09T09:22:35.825-04:00{Sweet Hearts Tied the Knot!!}We at DC Sweet Treats are overjoyed and full of marital bliss!

You no longer just blindly use the wax candle, dunk your eggs in dye and wait to see what the heck your drawing ends up looking like. Now-days every egg is a fabulous masterpiece to be adored and coveted and, in my house, judged, awarded, and celebrated. <br />
<br />
It may be hard to compete with some of those boxed egg decorating kits, but here are a few creative (some simple and some not) ways to decorate your eggs this year.<br />

LOVE them! I cannot think of anything cute on earth that doesn't look even more super awesome in a mason jar. Nothing...name something...I'll wait...tap, tap, tap... see...you can't think of anything either. <br />
<br />
I have used them for everything from vases at a wedding to beverage containers for a glass of lemonade, to tip jars when I bartend, to cake in a jar that I served at a baby shower, to something to hold random buttons, safety pins, bobby pins, etc. <br />
<br />

But this idea from <a href="http://www.ohcrafts.net/decoration-time-capsule.php">ohcrafts.net</a> is so cute and useful and adorable! You go to a concert, you have the tickets, do you throw them away? Do you stash them in the junk drawer until you "figure out what to do with them?" (Yeah...been there, done that...you never figure it out). Do you just trash them and risk the chance of forever losing the memory of the night you and your bff from elementary school danced like a rock star for two hours straight? Do you push the night that you and 7 of your girlfriends and your MOM sat third row at the New Edition concert wearing home made Candy Girls tee shirts and finangled your way past a HUGE security guard named Phil and made your way back stage and met the men that have had you swooning since age 7 into the back of your mental photo album, only to bring it out when "Cool it Now" happens to come on the radio??? HECK to the NO! (OK that one got a little personal...)<br />
<br />
Not when you have mason jars!! Take a pic (and actually PRINT IT, don't just post it on Facebook or Shutterfly), type up a cute note about the event, and stash it along with the tickets and any other memorabilia in a mason jar and put it on display!

Upon arrival, I was given a voucher for a free S'mores kit to roast at the evening camp fire. I'm far removed from being a kid but...that pretty much excited me like it would an 8 year old girl scout. S'MORESSSSSSSSSS!!!<br />
<br />
This brings me to today's post. I've seen S'mores kits as wedding favors, baby shower favors, and tokens of thanks after various events. Such an inexpensive gift can bring total delight and giddiness to the recipient...especially if it's ME...without breaking the bank. Here are a few cute ideas I've seen around the web for gifting a fabulous S'mores kit.<br />

On February 26th, she will become a baker to the stars! <br />
<br />
Sorta. <br />
<br />
Non-winners at this year's Oscars will get a delicious sweet treat in their goody bag...Ms. Lambert's Starlet Brownie.<br />

</div>What makes the Starlet such a coveted treat for the people of Hollywood? Chocolate Pop Rocks! Yep...you read right. The candy we loved so much as a child in chocolate fashion sits atop a delicious brownie to create what Ms. Lambert describes as an "effervescent personality" that's like "eating chocolate champagne." WOW! <br />
<br />
The good news is that this amazing treat is not limited to celebs...you can place an order for The Starlet, in addition to her other sweets offerings from the <a href="http://www.naughtybitsbrownies.com/">Naughty Bits Brownies</a> website.<br />

And let's face it...the days of burning cd's are pretty much a thing of the past. If you're looking for a way to use and repurpose all of those paper cd jackets of yester-year that you have sitting around the house...here ya go! <br />

Using the cd sleeve as a cookie envelope is just too cute for me! Hand them out for Valentine's Day, as a wedding favor, or at your kid's birthday party. Put them in your welcome basket for out of town guests, or have them on hand for your next team meeting. Tie them up with an adorable ribbon or baker's twine (I honestly could go on and on about my infatuation with baker's twine...but I won't...not today at least), and include a small note. Now your already awesome cookie recipe is being presented in a way that does it justice! <br />
<br />

But I found this idea to be too cute to resist! These nickel plated trays are found in almost every Dollar Tree, but if you can't find them there, see what your local thrift store has on its shelves! You can also use a vintage picture frame or mirror (just be super careful if it's made of glass), you can use paint and a brush or spray paint. You just can't do it wrong!<br />

I saw this idea by way of <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> (which I LOVE LOVE LOVE!) and I just thought it was such an adorable idea! If there's one thing I love, it's simple yet adorable crafts, and this definitely fits the bill!<br />
<br />
Whether you're decorating for a party or creating a decor piece for your home, this project using yarn, balloons, and glue could not be simpler! I cannot wait to try it! I love the idea of putting these yarn balls in a glass bowl or in a basket. It looks just as good as any knick-knack you'd find in Pier 1 or Pottery Barn, but for a fraction of the cost, and you're able to customize to fit your exact color scheme and decor theme! <br />
