Blogging For Boobs

blogging for boobs 250

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Every. Single. One. Of. Us.  Has in some way been touched by breast cancer.  Whether it was family, friend or our own life, we have felt it, we have seen it, we have lived it.

For me, it’s my Mother-In-Law, Debbie and Kim’s Mom and Michelle’s Mom and my friend Crystal’s mom and the list goes on and on.

Last year, I did one huge giveaway to drive traffic to my blog to raise money for breast cancer through Ad revenue.

This year, I am donating the entire month on my blog to Breast Cancer.  I have created a donation page: Blogging For Boobs on the Susan G. Komen Site where you can donate directly to the Susan G Komen foundation in memory, in triumph, in honor of someone or  simply because you want to help and you, like me and many others: Have Hope, Faith and Belief that there is a cure.

In October, my blog will turn pink.  That button up there: will be featured in my top Sidebar and will link directly to that donation page.  I have guest posters who will be telling their stories, sharing information, letters, tributes and more.

I have people who are donating items, goods, services, gift cards and more, so that I can do weekly giveaways.

If you want to be involved in any way, please email me:  MonkeysandprincessesATgmailDOTcom

Please join me in October and help me Raise Money, Awareness and hopefully get one step closer to the cure.

PMS Crunch

PMS crunch 1

Chocolatey, Crunchy, Sweet, Salty, Rich, Butterscotch… Tonguegasmic.  This snack, this crunchy delight is perfect for anytime but, even best for that time of the month when you need the sweet, the salt, the crunch, the richness… the only thing it doesn’t have is heat.. but, you could add a dash of cayenne if you wanted that.

PMS snack

This is easy, delicious and quite possibly a necessity.

  • 1 bag butterscotch chips
  • 1 bag chocolate chips (i couldn’t find dark but, i would use dark)
  • 1 box rice chex cereal
  • 1/2 bag pretzel twists ( i use these for my salt.. you could use peanuts but, I don’t like them in this)
  1. Melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips over low heat on your stove.
  2. I spread my cereal and pretzels in my big 10 x 13 baking dish

PMS mix 1

  1. Spoon, drizzle, pour the chocolate over your cereal and pretzels.
  2. Mix it well ( I use my hands, it’s messy but, it works)
  3. Spread the mixture out on parchment paper to cool

(beware of tiny crunch snatchers)

PMS crunch being snagged

This delightful crunchy mixture will not be so hot that you can’t snag little handfuls of it but, I warn you.. you will not want just a handful.  This stuff is addictive, it is delicious and it disappears quickly.

I usually portion it into snack bags and put it in the fridge because it is SO humid here that it never completely hardens unless it’s put into the fridge.  Plus, the snack bags are the only way that I can monitor myself and not devour it all in one sitting. :-)
