Yummy Goodness!!

I am so excited to be in our house and actually have room to bake and cook!  My first use of the stove and oven was a success....the house is still standing!  I found a recipe online a while back for Rolo Cake Mix Bars.  Since David and I are both counting calories, I wanted to make sure I had something or someone to take these to so I wouldn't be tempted to eat the entire pan!  Who am I kidding...I was still tempted!  David's store is having a huge sale this week and they will all be working extra long hours preparing for the sale and the day of sale.  So...they will be consuming all of the calories...not me!

1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
5 oz. Evaporated Milk
1/4 C. Butter, melted
40 Rolo Candies, unwrapped and cut in half

Mix cake mix, milk, and butter...

The batter will be a thick and creamy consistency.

Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray.  Divide batter in half and press 1/2 into the bottom of the pan.  Bake at 350 degrees until just set - about 8-9 minutes.

Unwrap and cut Rolos in half...
**This is VERY important - taste test several Rolos just to make sure they taste ok.  Taste a couple more if there is any question**

Remove from oven and place Rolos caramel side down on top of bottom batter...

Drop remaining batter on top of Rolos in teaspoon sized amounts - you may have to spread out a little with a knife.  Bake for 20-24 minutes until golden brown.



Enjoy these little chocolate caramel bars....unless you're counting calories!!

Here's a peek at our dinner tonight... Fried Pretzel Crusted Chicken and Parmesan Roasted Green Beans...

Of course, the picture you see when you click the link is much prettier than mine but I'm sure mine tasted better!  :)  The only thing I changed was I added some Buffalo Flavored Pretzel Crisps to the regular pretzels before grinding in the food processor.  It gave it a little spicy flavor!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Loving Lately: My Discovery of MAC Cosmetics

I am 29 years young and I have JUST discovered MAC.  Yes, it's true.  I have apparently been living under a rock.  In a bubble.  Something!!  I ran out of foundation this weekend and decided to give it a try.  And O.M.G. I am so glad I did.  Ok - here are my face issues... 1. Oily Eyelids - eyeshadow creases within an hour...not fun. 2. Oily Face - makeup disappears and the shine is outta control...not fun either!! 3. Acne Scars - the dark spot kind...ugh!  4. Acne - why do I have acne at 29???  It just isn't fair to have to use acne treatment AND an anti-aging cream!!  I went to the MAC counter with absolutely no makeup on whatsoever....I was not lookin' pretty!  They were having a special event to market their "after hours" collection  and there was a model there with her husband who is apparently a famous NBA basketball player from the LA Clippers.  I guess I should've gotten a picture bu...

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this.  Let's talk about hair.  I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love.  I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see!  Embarrassing subject?  Yep!!  I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now.  One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!!  There, I said it.  Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation.  Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this.  Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it.  And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue.  I seriously could join a circus, people....
