Uptown Funk

Can we talk about Mark Ronson's collab with Bruno Mars on the song, 'Uptown Funk'?!?!?!  Holy crap, this is my new jam.....I have been grooving to this song since last week, aka singing at the top of my lungs, shaking it down in my house and in my car (it's harder than it looks).  This collaboration is off the charts and I know that all the future dance parties will have to have this song on the playlist!  So go on and shake it down to Bruno, it is the perfect getting ready song!

Groovy Baby!! 

(can't you just hear Austin Powers saying that about this song?!?!?)

Date Delight....a fab recipe!

Full Disclosure......this is not the most glamorous looking appetizer, but it sure does taste divine!  My mama made me her assistant cook Wednesday and we whipped these bad boys up in no time!  See below for the recipe and trust me when I tell you they are delicious, just ask one of my 20+ cousins who tried them Thursday :)

-Dried dates that are pitted (mama Jill bought hers from the Fresh Market)

-Two small logs of goat cheese

-Chopped pecans

-2 packages of prosciutto  

Cut the dried dates in half long ways.  Cook the prosciutto until it's crispy aka well done in a skillet over medium heat.  Mix the goat cheese with the chopped pecans and cooked prosciutto.  Stuff the mixture into the date and voila a delicious tasting appetizer.  It has the best of both worlds, something sweet and something salty!  The prosciutto gives it a delicious crunch, but you can also refrigerate them and eat them the next day!

Turkey Weekend

I headed to Greensboro to kick off Thanksgiving with LOTS of family, we are talking 50 for lunch at my grandparents farm on Thursday.  My parents and I headed to the beach Friday for the rest of the weekend.  I was able to see my bestie Megan and her hubs Andrew along with lots of friends at the beach!  To say it was a whirlwind is quite the understatement....below are some pics!

Trying the new moonshine.........it was ahmazing! 

My gorgeous mama with my sweet babe of a nephew M3....they are so dreamy!  Look at that fierce hug action!!!

My sweet nephew.....I think he was in awe of either the amount of food or the massive amount of people!

Mama Jill and I decorated our tree Thanksgiving night!  These two elves never stop, like ever!!

A peaceful moment with mama before we rushed off to pick up Mufasa (our new nickname for my dad, our fearless leader)

We hit Eagle Point to hit golf balls at the range.....it was an awesome afternoon filled with LOTS of laughs!!

This is what happens when you take two women to the range.....a worn out papa Murray!
