ReplyDeleteI love pie to begin with, so the mini-pies on a stick are a huge hit with me. I think it would be fun to see deconstructed desserts on sticks. Like smores but on three sticks that you have to eat in sequence or a way to combine the three, but in a non-traditional way.

I would love to see your awesome lime dark chocolate brownie on a stick. Major yum!
ReplyDeleteWishing you Love and Peace in 2012
Anything salty and sweet at the same time. Like a salted caramel cover in a really good chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI will take one of each please! The photo display is just an awesome idea. I love the idea of the chalkboard paint but I think it would end up being a mess, especially with kids in the house. I use the Moroccan Oil shampoo with argan oil and it is incredible stuff that really turned my hair around to healthy. I want to see a zesty shrimp taco on a stick. Think you can do that? You can.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very very cool clock. The indoor garden is very cool too.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
I would love to have the homemade peanut butter cups on a stick right now!

I love just about anything on a stick--but it needs to be chocolate. Saying that.. S'mores on a stick; ice cream sandwiches on a stick... the sky's the limit! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI liked you on FaceBook a while back. I would like to see peanut butter fudge, a mini pretzel on both sides then dipped in dark chocolate on a stick.
ReplyDeleteYay you did add the "original" to your title. Very cool. I had to add original to one of my recipes because everyone was "borrowing" it. We have to stake our claim right? Hmm, I want to see someone get spaghetti on a stick. Hehe. The little pies are cute. My kiddos could get into this kind of cooking.
ReplyDeleteSo many cute things! Love that clock & those hats. Actually, I loved it all... the dress is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI want a mini pie on a stick. Messy but delicious!

ReplyDeleteCandied fruit on a stick sounds interesting! What a fun book!

ReplyDeleteLemon Meringue pie
ReplyDeleteI think bite sized candied apple slices/pieces on a stick would be great - all the wonderful taste without dirtying your hands or making a mess of lipstick.

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Cookie dough on a stick
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I would like to see a Pizookie on a stick (that dessert from BJ's). It'd be like an ice cream pop with a sweet chewy chocolate chip cookie center.
ReplyDeleteI have "liked" you on facebook for awhile now. I would love to see those bourbon bacon brownies you mentioned in this post on a stick. I *may* have to try that one (with a gluten free conversion on the brownies) this weekend.

ReplyDeleteMaybe with a little lattice crust?
