Rahmatulla Roll Ups

My maiden name is Rahmatulla (hence Rahmatulla roll ups), and these have been in my family for years. Half of y'all are going to see them and immediately say ewwww! The other half are going to go hmmm yeah maybe. But let me tell you, seriously, my family will flip for these and when I bring them to events they really catch people off guard because they don't expect the ingredients to go together so well. I will be show casing two recipes in this post Pickle Roll Ups and Tortilla Roll Ups.

Favorite Finds Friday {18}

Hi everyone! Megan here. Is it just me or did this week go by super fast? Probably just me. I've been working on designing a new look for the blog to give it our own unique look. It's been pretty fun, but it's not easy work for a novice like myself. And on top of all that I've been sick. Just a little cold that's not too bad, but I've given it to Alex. He takes a little cold to a whole new level. A little cold makes him believe he's dying of the Spanish flu and all sense of doing things for himself goes completely out the window. He requested soup for dinner last night, because his few sneezes have him convinced he's on death's door. When he goes into these little episodes I just make him the darn soup. But, I know what's really going on. Madden 13 football game came out this week and it wasn't at all what he expected. He's been moping about it since Tuesday. And I feel bad for him. He's been waiting all year for it. So I made him some broccoli cheddar soup. He loved it. I wasn't really that impressed. I think I may have added too much broccoli, but I'm getting off track here.

It was new recipe. New recipes mean extra dirty dishes, at least to me anyway.

How often does this happen to you? It happens to me ALL the time! And it's always the pots. The worst or worst when it comes to washing dishes. Anyway, on to this week's favorite finds.

If you were featured we ask you pretty please to grab a button. It's not mandatory, but it would be nice.

Thirsty Thursday - Butterbeer

Hey everybody! It's that time again for Thirsty Thursday. I'm so glad we decided to start doing these. As you may or may not know, I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. I grew up reading the books and love watching the movies. This week I'm going to show y'all how to make homemade Butterbeer. It's a popular wizarding beverage served in Hogsmeade.

DIY End Table From Old Books

Hi everyone! Megan here! The end of July marked my good friend Teresa's 30th birthday. I wanted to make her birthday extra special, so I did two things. One was to make her the birthday cake she requested. I helped with ideas for her party on Pintrest and we came across this cute little cake.

source : Simply Klassic Home

Teresa immediately expressed interest in this cake and asked me if I would bake this for her. Of course I agreed. But, I also told her that her cake probably wouldn't be an exact replica of the aforementioned cake.

Here is Teresa's cake in the process of being frosted. At this point, I was 99% sure it was gonna to be a disaster. The layers didn't come out anywhere near a thick as I wanted them too, but when I started making this cake it was the day before Teresa's party. Way to late to start over.

Favorite Finds Friday {17}

Hi everyone! Megan here. So we finally made it back to Friday. This week has been pretty exciting for us here. We launched a giveaway this week. Our first.

You can find the entry form here. We have lots more planned for you guys in the next couple of months, so I hope everyone is as excited as we are.

On another note, I found this on Pinterest this week. It's funny because it totally me down to a T. Don't believe me? Ask Alex.

Also, last night Alex and I had our group of yearly Fantasy Football Drafters online last night. (Yes, I am one of those crazy football girls.) This someecard is for all of you ladies out there that can't wait for football season to start.
