Welcome to The Pink Pumpkin!

This is my first post!  I am new at blogging but hopefully will enjoy this adventure!  I named this blog with my daughter in mind....pink because, well, she's a girl!  And Pumpkin because everynight before she goes to bed she will say, "Love you" and I always say, "I love you pumpkin!"  I thought it was catchy!  Yesterday I took pictures of Emma with my camera that I got for Christmas.  I am sharing some of my favorite pictures!

Emma's Second Birthday Party Planning is well underway!  We are going with the Pink Mod Monkey Theme!  I have made some adorable chocolate monkey suckers for the guests!  A picture of the monkey suckers is below!
 I also made a Happy Birhday Banner from Scrapbooking Paper!  It was super easy but time consuming!  I am sharing the site which gave me the wonderful idea!

Last night I tried a new recipe that was quite tasty!  It was for Manwich Casserole.  Now, I know it sort of sounds heavy and unappetizing but upon tasting I discovered it was really good!  The crescent rolls add a unique sweetness and combines well with the zesty Manwich!  The recipe is below!

Manwich Casserole

1 lb. ground beef
1 can Manwich
2 cans crescent rolls
2 pkgs. shredded cheese

Heat oven according to biscuit instructions. Brown ground beef. Add Manwich and simmer. In baking dish cover bottom of dish with a layer of crescent rolls, then a layer of cheese. Add Manwich mixture. Top with a layer of cheese and the last can of crescent rolls. Bake according to instructions on crescent rolls. Let cool 5 minutes.
