mmmm, cake.

For my birthday a few years back one of my friends made me this swell cake. I love basketball and this was perfect for me, and is now perfect for a March Madness party...

march madness....

I love March. Some great holidays occur.

1. St. Patricks Day
2. March Madness

Today I want to post about some delightful snack foods to eat while watching march madness...

Candy mix:
As you can see it contains as much or little as you want of the following: Peanut M&Ms, Chocolate covered raisins, pretzel sticks, swedish fish, goldfish crackers, regular M&Ms etc...

* This recipe inspired by Toni's mom, Teddy.

Crab dip:
1-2 packages cream cheese
1/2-1 bottle shrimp cocktail sauce
1-2 packages imitation crab

Chop and mix cream cheese with crab. It is supposed to be textured not smooth. Pour over and stir in cocktail sauce. Serve with crackers.

*This recipe was inspired by Dan during a game night at Niki's house.

All things aggies

I just finished up with a "weekend o' aggie athletics" and wanted to share some of my favorite aggie basketball game treats:

Basketball Cookies

Mix and Set aside:
2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt

Combine and beat until creamy:
1 cup shortening
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs

Mix all ingredients well and stir in 6 oz milk chocolate chips (and/or 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips), 6 oz butterscotch chips, 6 oz white chocolate chips. Spoon into 1 Tbsp. balls 2/3 inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10 min.

Watch the Aggies play ball and enjoy!

(Story behind the cookies: Toni lived downstairs from some bball players. They were all good friends and those boys didn't like many treats so we invented these cookies. They are so good no one can resist. We made them for all of our basketball related roadtrips!)

Aggie Oreo's

2 Devil’s Food Cake mixes
4 eggs
½ cup shortening

Mix all together until wet and sticky. Form into little balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Cool 1 minute before removing from sheet.

Aggie blue-light frosting:

2 packages cream cheese, softened
4+ cups powdered sugar
1 stick margarine
Aggie Blue food coloring

Mix and sandwich between 2 cookies.

(Story behind the cookies: I made them my freshman year with my friend Brittney, we made them for everything changing the color of the frosting per holiday, and aggie was of course my favorite.)
