Today is the Chinese New Year! This year is the Year of the Rooster – my 3rd is a Rooster – and apparently rooster years are BAD LUCK for current roosters… GREAT – can’t wait to see what this year will bring as he’s already my anxious one. BUT good news for him? Honey Walnut Shrimp for Dinner!

This post has been sponsored by 7UP®, all thoughts and opinions are my own
You KNOW I love fun and unique cakes – so when I was given the opportunity to work with 7UP® I IMMEDIATELY went to this soda bottle cake idea! It’s totally backwards from other shaped/carved cakes I make – in that it’s built from the OUTSIDE in, versus inside out.

I love international foods – like seriously love them, often more than classic American dishes! I mean does it get better than a good Italian pasta? or a Greek gyro? and then Asian foods… YUM! I also love dishes that have a lot of flavors in them – and so Thai is always a huge hit with me! And ANYTHING that goes with this peanut sauce is going to be good in my book

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Johnsonville. The opinions and text are all mine.
I love making party food – and this time of year is ALL about parties! From Holiday parties, to New Years Eve and Saturday football games – it’s always good to have a few great appetizer recipes in your back corner. I make homemade mac and cheese at least once a week so it’s easy to add some extra cheese and some delicious Johnsonville summer sausage and deep fry it for an easy and delicious hor d’oeuvre that everyone will love!

Last winter one of my cousin’s came by to do holiday baking with me (she’s come by before – to make this history of civilization cake and this was her wedding cake – love having cousins close) and in addition to all my normal recipes she requested to make her mom’s Rocky Road fudge – I get a lot of great recipes from my Aunt Lynne.
