Our rings have shipped, we bought them off Etsy from this store. Fed Ex ground is not being the best at updating where they are, we know they left Saint Paul MN on Friday night but haven't had an update since. My local FedEx guy said FedEx ground was the unwanted stepchild of FedEx.
After the harrowing experience of ordering our centre pieces off Ebay, they arrived wonderfully. They're a bit bigger than what Sweetie was thinking and I love that they don't look cheap.The colored tulle arrived so we can take the ugly pink (I don't like pink) bows off the arch we got for a steal & replace them with green & blue ones :)
We have our guest book, my dress, favor bags, cookie recipes & vows are written. All over venues & vendors are booked, just need a final confirmation from them. 82 days until the big day!
In baking news I've made my own granola bars, tweaked this recipe from Allrecipes. I didn't have rolled oats, just quick outs. Tasted good but didn't taste like store bought. I added 3-4 Tablespoons of ground flax to my dry ingredients. My 2 cups of stuff were: mini chocolate chips, craisens, dried cherries & sliced almonds. I did what some of the commenters were saying & flattened it pretty good before going into the oven, and flattening it again once it was out. I didn't have any issues with crumbling. MM MM tasty.
I ventured into banana muffins this weekend, I only had 2 banana's so the ones I made could have had more of that flavor. I split the sugar between white & brown, used half whole wheat flour & added a Tablespoon of flax & a dash of mini chocolate chips to this recipe. I also added a bit of cinnamon & nutmeg. The oven time isn't correct at all from what the commenters were saying, I only had my muffins in the oven for about 20 min. Toothpick came out clean. I resisted the urge to frost them with a peanut butter buttercream. Gotta fit into that wedding dress ya know.
