Not Me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. ********************************
I did NOT completely abandon my diet last week. I did NOT get so caught up in baking various cookies and other Valentine's treats that I ended up gaining back almost 3 of the 10 pounds that I lost in January. I have much better will power than that, and I would NEVER blow a month of hard work on a few cookies, cupcakes, and Rice Krispy treats!
I did NOT get just a little sad when the Stained Glass cookies that I worked so hard on didn't turn out the way I had been picturing in my head. I would NEVER get upset over something as silly as cookies...even if they were supposed to be really cute teacher's gifts!

I did NOT get over my sadness quickly, because my other cookies turned out SUPER cute!

I do NOT think that I need to quit baking and start crafting....I don't think I can gain any weight from working with scrapbook paper and my new Cricut:)

I am NOT so glad that at least a few of you {well actually 8} got my {probably not as funny as I thought it was} title of THIS blog post! I did NOT decided that because you all are such great blog followers, that I would use random.org to pick one of the lucky 8 who actually understand my sense of humor! Myya was NOT the winner....so Myya...don't send me your address {but really do, so I can send you a little happy in the mail}!

Baking FAIL

Things started out so promising.

I mean, mixing cookies and candy...you just can't wrong there!
They looked so cute before I put them in the oven.

And they looked pretty good coming out of the oven too.

That is until I tried to take them off the pan!
This was my first {and last} attempt at making Stained Glass cookies!

I did end up with some SUPER cute and oh so yummy Valentine's cookies {without the stained glass center} that I will post about next week:)

6 Degrees of Yum-Even Without Bacon!

6 Layer Mexican Dip

{which can also be 7, 8, or 9 layer dip depending on what you like!} This is a SUPER yummy dip that I make sometimes. It is as easy as layering stuff on a plate.

#1 Spread a whole can of refried beans on a platter.

#2 Add a layer of browned and seasoned hamburger meat

#3 Spread on a layer of sour cream.

#4 Sprinkle on a layer of grated cheese.

#5 Top with lettuce.

#6 And some cut up tomatoes.

Sometimes we add in other layers too like

salsa

guacamole

&

olives.

Whatever you decide to add, serve it will scoops or tortilla chips and you will have a yummy Mexican fiesta in your mouth!

p.s. Bonus points {and maybe even a prize} awarded to anyone who gets my {probably not as clever as I think it is} Bacon reference in the title of this post!
