Hey Dude!

Does anyone else remember that show from Nickalodean? I loved that show... I wanted to work at a camp/ranch as a teen because of that show. Well, Hey Dude and Camp Anawanna. Now when I think about it they were both totally not PC probably. What does all this have to do with my kitschen adventures? My nephew recently turned 8 and he had a cowboy/cowgirl theme birthday party coordinated by moi!

Here's a pic of a draft of the invite...

Give me some paper and a glue stick and I can make things happen!

I also made homemade trail mix to go into the swag bags.

The sweet and salty ingredients.

All packed up with a label.

I made some s'more pops too and wanted to used them to close up the bags someway...

Your basic s'more ingredients.

All the pops sitting pretty and setting.

The completed swag bag! I don't know if you can clearly read the tag but it says "s'more for later." I love a good pun ya'll!

For dessert I used the book Baking: New Frontiers recipe for chocolate rootbeer float bundt cake. I want this book so bad... but for now I am settling for this one recipe.
