Happy Halloween

The Sisters and I completed our pumpkin for the family carving contest. What do you think?

Founders of Sunday Night Dinner

Sunday Night Dinner started when Sister #1 was still in college. As a recent graduate, I knew the campus could be somewhat depressing on Sunday evenings. The campus was empty and cafeteria food was questionable. Therefore, Sunday Evening Dinner was founded for Sister #1 and her friends: 

I adore each of these girls! I have great memories of cooking dinner for them. They were gracious enough to eat my crappy/burnt dishes, and daring enough to try my made up dishes. They had guts! 

This weekend, The Founders reunited for a wedding. One of their own got married. 

The Founders have grown up to be exceptional women!!! I'm so happy I was able to cook for them. They were the start of a great tradition.

Tank the kitty

Blogger World, I'd like to introduce you to Canada Travis's newest friend....

This is Tank. He's a teeny-tiny kitty someone dumped on the side of the road. Thankfully Canada Travis's dad witnessed the dump, so Tank was instantly rescued. 

Tank has become the newest member of the family business. Once he gets a bit older he will assist in mouse and rodent hunting. Until then, he gets to come visit me on the weekends with Postcard Puppies.

Preparation

I just wanted to give everyone a day's notice about National Dessert Day. 

Tomorrow, October 14, is National Dessert Day. I encourage everyone to celebrate. What's life without a little dessert???

National Smile Day

Today, is National Smile Day. What makes you smile? For the most part, I smile pretty often. Here are a few things that make me smile...

Blogger World, life is too short not to smile every once in awhile. I hope you find a few things that make you smile.

#81

Number 81 is the amount of new recipes I've tried in the past ten months. I challenged myself to try 100 new recipes. I didn't put a timeframe on this, but I'm certain I'll complete my challenge in 1 year. I've kept a running list of all the recipes on my phone. A more organized person would have blogged about each recipe, or kept a photo album on Facebook. I'm not that organized...you'll have to be happy with the list. 

Many of the recipes were tried during Racecar Woman days; so you haven't been kept in the dark too much. But since I'm a great blogger I have a few additional pictures to share. 

Grasshopper Pie

Banana Bread

It appears, I literally only have a few pictures. Sorry guys, I thought I had more pictures you haven't seen. Anyways, here's to another 19 recipes I'll be trying out!

Weekend Update

It was a great weekend! It was fun, busy, and relaxing. Here's a recap of the weekend:

Friday Night

A group of friends and myself attended a fundraiser at the OKC Zoo. This is the third year for us to attend ZooBrew. We always have a great time hanging out with animals and tasting delicious adult beverages. 

Saturday

The first half of Saturday was relaxing. It was nice to rest and enjoy time with Postcard Puppies. They're so cute! 

Saturday Afternoon/Evening 

My family and I ran a 5k in support of a family who lost their son a few years ago. 

My mom and Canada Travis were our cheerleaders. It's important to have cheerleaders. After we ran 3 miles it was time to eat! 

Hamburgers are not complete without S'Mores! 

Sunday

The day of rest; which is what happened! 

I hope everyone had a great weekend!
