Sunday Funday!

Happy Halloween Everyone!! I had a fun filled weekend with friends & family. I didn't have to cook Friday or Saturday night so that was a nice break. As much as I love to cook, it's nice to have someone cook for ME for a change. My husband is one of those addicted to fantasy football type guys so we literally have football on from 9:30am-7:00pm. (I'm asking myself why did we even get the Sunday ticket?) lol! Football puts me in appetizer & drink mode so I decided to attempt homemade nacho cheese sauce and cucumber mint spritzers! Has anyone ever had the nacho cheese from Costco? It seriously is SO good! My goal was to try to get the cheese to taste the same. I took a few recipes I found online and went to work. The cheese wasn't thickening the way I liked so I added a little more flour. I think that made the sauce too thick. The flavor was good (could be a little better) but the consistency was just not right. The husband loved it but I think it was just because he was already 3 beers down, haha! I will make nacho cheese again but I need to figure out how to improve the flavor and give it the right consistency. The spritzer I made was light & fresh tasting. The drink consisted of Vodka, Sugar, Lemon Juice, Cucumber, Mint, and topped it off with some soda water. If you left out the sugar I believe it would be a low calorie drink. Skinny Cucumber Mint Spritzer? I think I'm going to try it next time without the sugar. As you all know tonight is Halloween! I have a 4 year old and she is BEYOND excited to go tricker treating. We will probably get take out tonight! With that said...hope everyone has a FUN, SAFE & HAPPY Halloween! xoxo PLC
