FrankenMickey Cheese Ball

By Pamela
I have Disney on the brain!

I could blame it on the fact that we just returned from our latest Disney vacation with six of our friends. But the truth is, I almost always have Disney on the brain!


One of my Disney Dreams is to spend a night in Cinderella's castle. It is my understanding you can't rent the  room but Disney will grant an overnight stay to contest winners. Upon the heels of our Disney vacation and first time we have ever attended Mickey's Not So Spooky Halloween party, Disney announced a contest and guess what the grand prize is? YES, a stay in Cinderella's castle!!


I had two inspirations for this cheese ball. First, I was inspired by all the Mickey shaped food we ate on our vacation. Second, I was inspired by the t-shirts my friend Angie and I made for our vacation crew to wear on the day we attended the Mickey's Not So Spooky Halloween Party.


Cheese Ball

16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon A1 Steak Sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Real Bacon Bits
3 Green Onions, sliced thin
8 ounces whipped cream cheese, softened
Wilton Moss Green Food Coloring
1 can chopped black olives
1 can jumbo black olives
Pretzel Rods

1. In a large bowl blend cream cheese, mayonnaise, Steak Sauce and hot sauce together. Add cheese, bacon, and green onions. Mix well. Line a Wilton Sports Ball Pan with plastic wrap and put the cheese mixture inside the ball. Chill.

2. Remove from refrigerator and unwrap. Place firm cheese ball on serving bowl.

3. Tint whipped cream cheese moss green. Cover the outside of the cheese ball in the whipped cream cheese. Add chopped black olives around the face. 

4. Add pretzel rods with jumbo black olives on the ends as neck bolts. 

5. Cut circles from black foam. Insert as ears. Add a jumbo olive as Mickey's nose. 

To make tortilla chips, use a Mickey cookie cutter to cut tortilla's. Spray with olive oil and lightly salt. Bake in the oven until crisp. 



I should warn you, your family might just think this appetizer is too cute to eat. My family would not cut into it until I did! 

Happy Halloween!

Yep, I am gonna link up to these awesome parties!

Tour of Missouri: Montauk State Park and The Ozark National Scenic Riverway

By Pamela
August has become our summer vacation month. Summer activities have usually wound down and we like to get one last hooray in before school starts.  This summer we decided to travel our own state and visit a few places we have been dreaming of visiting but were a little too far for a weekend road trip. Despite last minute vacation glitches we managed to pull out of Kansas City around 9:00 in the morning headed to Montauk State Park just outside of Licking, Missouri.  Montauk State Park is one of three state parks where you can trout fish in Missouri. We are frequent visitors of  Bennett Springs  State Park but not Montauk, just because of the travel distance from our house. (Bennett Springs is about 3 hours and Montauk is double that.) Setting up and settling in was relatively easy. We took a tour of the park and hiked around exploring the spring that feeds into the river. The Park stocks this river each night with trout. The fishermen like this river be...

My Weekend Project: A PVC Camping Lamp Post and Flag Holder

By Pamela
I have seen a few of these around campsites and I knew I would like to have one. The only problem that I had is The Husband. He already thinks we drag too much stuff with us when we go camping and if I had told him my desire to have a PVC Camping Light Pole he would have shut it down quickly! So, that leaves a girl with only one choice: Figure out how to do it by herself. I did some internet searching and found a few road maps on RV forums. They seemed easy enough! I visited the local hardware store for the supplies: An exterior post lantern light 2 inch PVC pipe (I used 5 feet but had to purchase a 10 foot piece) A 3 inch toilet flange A 3 inch to 2 inch Reducer PVC Glue A 12 foot electric cord kit 2 - 3/4 inch PVC Caps I also used a few supplies we already had on hand: White Spray Paint 3 1/2 foot - 3/4 inch PVC Pipe Drill Bits (1 inch and 1/2 inch) Tent Stakes The first step was preparing the lantern light. I could only find black i...

How Hallmark Broke My Christmas Heart

By Pamela
Hallmark has broken my heart. Maybe even damaged a bit of my soul.  {YES, it sounds dramatic, but please read on to understand why!} My love for Hallmark started years ago when I was about 19-20 years old.  I was dating a boy who had invited me home with him for the holidays. He also happened to be moving from Texas to Missouri at the end of our holiday vacation and I was going to drive home with him.  His Momma gave him a box full of Christmas ornaments from Hallmark that she had been collecting for him for years. Since he was born. Two decades of memories that he cherished so much. I found it endearing. And I made a mental note that I would start a tradition when I had children. Well, my own kids came years later. But that year, I was blessed with a late-in-life baby brother. And I started his ornament collection. He got the "My First Christmas" ornament. At the same time, I found a super cool Star Trek ornament that my Dad would get a kick out of. Just like...
