Mandevilla Flower Pots

RED RIDING HOOD MANDEVILLA
MY FAIR LADY MANDEVILLA
ALICE duPONT MANDEVILLA
I bought 3 different mandevillas at Costco at the end of April and transplanted them to bigger pots and then planted a bunch of different flowers around them.  They have grown soooo much and everyday there are more blooms.   I wish I had taken pictures when I first planted them so you could see just how much they have grown.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

These are one of my favorite  treats.  I usually put then in a 9x13 pan but decided to make individual ones in cupcake pans.

Special K Bars

1 cup sugar

1 cup corn syrup

1 cup peanut butter

6 cups special K cereal ( I always use Rice Krispies)

6 ounces butterscotch chips

6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Mix sugar and corn syrup in a medium size kettle on stove and bring to a simmer for 1 minute(do not overcook). Remove from heat and add peanut butter and mix well.  Add Rice Krispies and stir until all rice krispies are well covered.  Fill cupcake 2/3 full. Melt chips in microwave and frost each one. It should make 2 dozen.  I place them in the freezer for about 5 minutes to set up the chocolate.   Enjoy!

Bluegrass Festival

Mark and I went to a Bluegrass Festival in an Ogden park on Saturday. We listened to about 10 different bands.  It was an absolutely beautiful day with the temperature in the high 70's.  We brought our blankets and sat on the lawn.  One of my colleagues was in charge of it and she did an amazing job.  Way to go Michelle!
