I'm a Sponsor {cont'd}

So, I let my puppies in the house, and Tori girl jumped up on my couch while I had this post up, just waiting to be completed. She pushed a button, and it PUBLISHED the previous post....hmmmm great...
{you can't see it now, because I wrote over it, but if you use a reader such as google, you probably saw it}

I was so getting a head start at writing my post for Thursday when I'm actually going to be sponsored. Hubs-to-be comes home Thursday, I'll be busy shopping, cooking, and spending quality time with him! I thought writing it over tonight and tomorrow would be the best option...

Tori jumped the gun for me! Ugh!

Now, for what I meant to be said on Thursday is, I'm a sponsor over

Some more about Sam @ The Junk House
She's a 20-something living from Arizona. She just moved from a 1-bedroom apartment to her very own 3-bedroom/2-bath house! She has big plans, but a small budget. She has been thrifitng, craiglisting, yard saling, hot gluing, begging and borrowing her way to a fully furnished, beautiful new house! She's a super sweet girl and has given me such a great opportunity! Great thing is, she's asking for other sponsors as well. Go visit her Sponsor post to find out more! You could be a sponsor for The Junk House too!

I have to say, that this button is how it makes me feel. I just hope that's what Sam thinks!

Oreo Ball Recipes

***I have been featured on The Casual Blogger Community today!!! So honored and excited that I can reach more readers today! I never thought that I would be featured, let alone get a stylish blogger award, AND be listed in the Blog Guidebook. My heart is full of joy from climbing the blogging ladder! ***

I promised when I wrote the Mini Spinach Dip Bread Bowls post, that I would share the Oreo Ball recipes with ya'll. So here they are...

 

 

Oreo Balls

recipe originated from How Sweet It Is with a few modifications

1 package regular Oreos

1-8oz block of cream cheese, softened

1 package white chocolate bark or 1 package of white chocolate chips

In a food processor, mix Oreos until they become crumbs. {I have a small 2 cup food processor, so I do this in 4-5 batches per package of Oreos, then pour it in my kitchen aid mixer and then add the cream cheese to that.} Add cream cheese in chunks and process until you have a dough. Roll into balls and place on a baking sheet. Set in the freezer to harden for 1-2 hours.

Once Oreo balls are set, dip in melted chocolate – chocolate, peanut butter, white chocolate, etc. Any kind of hardening chocolate will work. Add any decoration on top. You can store in the refrigerator or freezer, but I usually just put them in a ziploc and they stay on the table for a few days before completely devoured!

***This is EXACTLY how I made the mint Oreo balls too...I used the Mint Oreos instead, and I used regular chocolate bark to cover them instead of white. I plan on making the peanut butter ones for hubbs-to-be...he will be in heaven. I encourage you to experiment and play around with these delish, truffle-like concoctions. {I got the yummy idea for the mint oreo balls from http://wethreedyes.blogspot.com/. She shared with me when I originally made the oreo balls and suggested I try using mint oreos...heavenly, thanks!***

 

 

These should be called Thin Mint Truffles or Grasshopper Truffles...yeah.

Thin Mint Truffles=bliss

  

Now on to fix my sick hubbs-to-be some King Ranch Chicken Soup. He stayed home from work after a long 31 hours of working straight. He came home yesterday around noon with a fever, sore throat, and sneezing his head off. Same today. I'm hoping he'll start to feel better before this weekend. He has off and we have NO plans, which is awesome! {even though I've already thought of plenty of things to do, like getting an early start on our garden inside, staining that shelf he built me 2 weeks ago, etc., and you can just imagine what yummy meals I have planned!}
