Pinkalicious
8:32 AM Filed UnderBirthdays
One of Princess’ favorite books is Pinkalicious.
My daughter has always loved the color pink, I wasn’t a fan of the color until she was born, I have since been converted.
Her 2 requirements for her 7th birthday party were pink and pink.
So, I was thrilled when I found this invitation on my favorite card making site:
She wanted a pink and purple swirly cake with sparkling pink frosting. CHECK
There is of course proper etiquette for eating a cake this pretty at a pinkalicious party
Each of the girls got to let their inner decorating diva shine with the decorate your own cupcake portion of the evening
When you walked into the house party central, each girl got to choose from an array of tiaras and feathers and boas (oh my!)
She declared it the most Perfect Pinkalicious Party ever.
Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipes

I love food.
I love holiday food.
I love food that is steeped in family traditions.
I love food that I desire to make a family tradition.
I love food.
Thanksgiving is just a moment away — so, I’m sharing with y’all some side dish recipes for Thanksgiving.
Some that are family traditions, some that aren’t and some that I’d like to be family traditions.
Jalapeno Cornbread Pudding – this recipe – I need to re-make because this picture is from 3 years ago and does not do justice to the ridiculous creamy spicy tonguegasmic-ality of this dish.
Mom’s Broccoli Cheese Casserole – the key ingredient in this recipe will make you say – WHAT? but the finished product will make you say, YUM.
Cheesy Chipotle Corn and Zucchini Casserole - “oh. mah. holy. hail. y’all…“ I cannot even begin to describe. You just have to try this.
This Candied Sweet Potatoes recipe from Amy makes my mouth water, I want to hop a plane to Nashville just so she can make it for me.
Y’all might be surprised to hear this but…….
I don’t make stuffing/dressing for Thanksgiving.
I prefer my breads in other forms. But that — that is a post for another day.
What are your family’s favorite side dishes for Thanksgiving? Anything you HAVE to have? Anything you’d like to try?
