Garlic Roasted Ballpark Peanuts

Baseball and peanuts go hand in hand.

(or in this case mitt in mitt)

Salted roasted peanuts are the perfect snack for watching the boys of summer...

unless they are garlic roasted!

Reminiscent of the infamous Gilroy Garlic Fries served at AT&T Park, 

the combo of peanuts, fresh parsley and garlic really are a home run.

Forget the Golden Glove...

it's all about the Garlic Glove.

and the Golden Gate :)

Garlic Roasted Ballpark Peanuts

Heat 3 Tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan and add 3 finely chopped garlic cloves.

Let garlic infuse in the oil for about a minute then add a 12 oz bag of peanuts in the shell.

Cook nuts in garlic oil for about 5 minutes, stirring them often to coat.

Remove from heat, top with chopped fresh parsley, let cool then enjoy.

Baseball Party Cupcakes

Batter Up, baseball season is in full swing!

Summer is setting in and the bases are loaded.

Knock your cupcakes out of the park with baseball movie cupcake toppers.

Many will make you laugh...

others will make you cry...

but we all know there is no crying in baseball, right?

Some are about "spirited" kids...

and angels.

Then there are those that are true and riveting stories...

But the best are about the heroes of America's favorite game...

All I'm sure of, 

if you build a Baseball Party with fun cupcakes, 

they will come...

Opening Day Baseball Lunch

There is nothing my son would like more than for someone to
take him out to the ball game on Opening Day!
But since he'll be at school,
I've got the next best thing, a ball park inspired lunch.

A stadium "hot dog" is a
 rolled ham sandwich with zig zag mustard in a bun... 

I "bought us some" peanuts and Cracker Jacks, 

making this regular brown bag lunch into and All Star meal.

But I felt like I needed to add just a touch of color...

Just a little something Giant for the home team crowd...

but really, I'm not biased...

Baseball Cupcakes - If you bake them, they will come

The Boys of Summer are entering the home stretch of the season, 

but around here it seems baseball fever has just set in.

There's nothing more exciting than the Pennant Race and World Series, 

except maybe a baseball movie!

Many will make you laugh...

others will make you cry...

but we all know there is no crying in baseball, right?

Some are about "spirited" kids...

and angels.

Then there are those that are true and riveting stories...

But the best are about the heroes of America's favorite game...

All I'm sure of, 

if you build a Baseball Party with fun cupcakes, 

they will come...

A homerun meal - fun lunchbox ideas

Back to School is all fun and games 

until you almost fall over with boredom when making your kids' lunch!

Well, last week I mixed it up with Asian inspired fare

 and now we're taking it out to the ballgame...

A stadium hot dog inspired,
 rolled ham sandwich with zig zag mustard... 

I "bought us some" Cracker Jacks...

and packed them with peanuts, 

to turn a regular brown bag lunch into and All Star meal.

But I felt like I needed to add just a touch of color...

Just a little something Giant for the home team crowd...

but really, I'm not biased...
