I’ve been asking for weeks for cute food submissions in order to hold a Cute Food Saturday anniversary contest. Well, the response was overwhelming, the submissions adorable, and for Cute Food Saturday’s birthday, YOU, my readers, will get to choose the winner through a poll on my sidebar over there on the right, below the ad. What will the winner receive? Well, after much thought and deliberation, I’ve decided that the prize will be the cupcake themed apron from FlirtyAprons.com!
Now, on to the submissions, in no particular order. I limited each entrant to three individual entries to avoid duplicates and to make it a bit more balanced. There are some amazing bloggers and bakers out there!!!
Important note: You MUST vote on the poll on the right hand side of the page. Votes in the comments will not be counted!
#5 Spaghetti and Meatball Cupcakes by Maria of Chef Mommy
#7 Snowman Cake by Di
Voting will run from right now until next Saturday, March 5 at midnight. The winner will be announced in next week’s Cute Food Saturday post! Good luck to all the entrants, and thank you all for your participation! Also, you may notice a little Cute Food Saturday badge over in the sidebar. You can grab the code below and put it in YOUR sidebar!

It’s back! I neglected my Cute Food Saturday while I was away last weekend, so I have to address my favorite holiday cute food tradition in THIS week’s CFS:
Gingerbread houses!








That’s it for now! Happy New Year! I’ll be back tomorrow with Part 1 of our Honeymoon Recap!

I’ve been sick since Friday. Not sick like I was last spring where I had to go to the hospital, but sick. I had a headache so bad I nearly passed out in the shower Friday morning, a fever maxing out at 102 degrees, and my body hurt like I just worked out for hours.
Luckily, I’m on the mend, and my appetite came back yesterday and I indulged in some pizza. Tonight all I wanted was Chinese food, so that’s what we got!
steamed spiced pork dumplings (my favorite!)
Chicken chow mein cantonese with…
pan-fried noodles instead of rice!
We always had chicken chow mein cantonese growing up, and its a total comfort food for me… which is what I needed! I’m resting up tonight as I’m planning on heading back to work tomorrow. Too bad I have too many cooties to go visit my favorite little peapod!!
Baby Quin, Halloween 2009
Could he be any cuter?!
Here’s hoping I’m up to cooking tomorrow!!

Happy Halloween!!!
Cute Food Saturday this week has been replaced by “Spooky Food Saturday”!! I sent out a call last week for cute and/or Halloween related pictures, and the photos came pouring in!
Some of these are not for the weak of stomach, and some are downright creepy… but heck, I LOVE Halloween!
First, a reader, Amy (if you have a blog, let me know!) sent me this great picture of Halloween cupcakes:
Then, a high school friend sent me this series of quite creepy Halloween cakes. I’m not sure where they came from, or who made them… but I don’t think I could eat them! There were about 20… let me know if you want to see the rest! Here are my favorites:
And months ago, Dragonmamma/Naomi sent me this cake JUST for today:
Then, my call for Halloween treats on Twitter brought some more fantastic stuff! These are from the famous Bakerella, sent by LowFatKat
And these from Recipe Girl (if you haven’t seen her blog yet, you MUST)
And finally… just for creepy’s sake…
That’s all for now! Happy Halloween!

Happy Saturday! Remember, if you’d like to see other installments of Cute Food Saturday, they’re all archived on the blog.
For me, it’s the last Saturday before the start of the school year begins, as my inservices start Monday. One of the things I really look forward to with the start of the school year is that I have access to a refrigerator to keep my lunches!
Today’s cute theme: Back-to-school!
Thats all for now! Have a great Saturday! As for me? I’m of to the Renaissance Faire…turkey legs here I come!
P.S. What do you think of my new layout/header?
