Hot Caramel and Eye Cream

Last night I went over to my friends condo for a girls night/one of those beauty product parties...she recently started using this stuff called Arbonne, and she's been loving what it does for her skin. I was excited to just hang out and see her, and was just ambivalent about the products but why not. My favorite part of the evening, obviously, was the food ;)

I ended up just making a little veggie platter with pitas, hummus, and spinach dip! Then made it look all cute on a tray (IKEA like $7), and covered it with a cloth fall themed napkin....I got lots of compliments on how cute this was...so easy too. Note: Food on Trays = Great for parties!

Roomie and I also brought a baguette with some soft cheese but didn't even need to open it. My friend even made a chicken pot pie! It was delicious, and I can't tell you the last time I had it. She used a healthier recipe which called for a phyllo crust, but she just used a regular...so I don't know how much healthier it ended up being, but it was worth it.

My piece (well my first piece...I went back for a little more)
Pumpkin bread!
But...this was really the pride and joy of the evening...and just kept calling my name all night...but really who can resist a little pot of soft delicious WARM caramel!!

With apple sliced and pretzels for dipping! I LOVED the apples for dipping...so I don't even remember how many I had but I kept going back. Hey it's a fruit, so it's not that bad right??? Haha, plus the caramel is actually fat free, I'm sure that doesn't make it way better but a little maybe. I have one of those little mini crock pots...and now I know what to do with it ;)

Welcome to Study Weekend 2008 (first annual and hopefully last)...

As soon as I get ready, I'm off to my moms house (who is gone all day), so I can have the place to myself and just study study study!! Plus get to see my cute little pupper dog! I mean don't think I'm not going to pop online once in a while to check in...

Have a great Saturday peeps!!

p.s. I did buy some eye cream :)
