Spoonful of Cinnamon

My resolution for the new year was to start a blog as I wanted an outlet for my passion, which is entertaining! As it is now March and I have celebrated yet another 25th birthday (one of these years the bars I go to are going to call me out on that one), and decided it is time to buckle down and start writing! I throw a lot of parties. Dinner parties, wine and cheese parties, custom pub crawls, I just love to entertain. I hope you enjoy some of the stories and recipes I plan to post here!

Mountain Dew Vertical Challenge

Tomorrow is the Mountain Dew Vertical Challenge Finals, and my dad is racing his snowboard in the finals (he qualified in the 60+ category, yes, he's badass). While he has no expectations of winning, he invited us all to go up and ski/snowboard for the day and have a fabulous tailgate in the parking lot.

It's a small group heading up, but I found some great discounted lift tickets on Liftopia and we'll be on the road at like 6:30 in the morning (yikes!). All day long there will be tons of free stuff they are giving away - muscle milk, mountain dew, cranberry juice, floss (haha), etc., music, and games. It should be a great time!

I am bringing my little tailgating grill, and will be grilling up some of my favorite jalepeno mango chicken sausage, turkey burgers, veggie skewers, and rocking the chips and salsa. Oh and beer. Lot's of beer - though mostly for everyone else to drink because I'll be driving home... It'll be a long day, but it should be a blast!
