Super Easy Halloween Treats for the Kitcheny Challenged.

Last weekend, my sister hosted a Halloween party and I was tasked with bringing a snack. Not one to be outdone when it comes to all things Halloween, I came across the two ideas below and was instantly sold because A) there's almost no effort involved, and B) everyone loves pretzels and peanut butter. Except me. I don't really like peanut butter. But when it comes to a bunch of strangers, especially the kind who are mostly under the age of 11, who cares? Not me.

WE TIED THE KNOT!

That's right- I'm totally a Mrs. now! After nine months of planning, the day came and went and, in the blink of an eye, we were ending the night drunk and married. There are so many stories and photos and details I'd like to share here, but I know the blogging world is finicky and has a limited attention span. (More than two consecutive posts on the same topic? Blech, even I know that's boring.) With that said, I've limited myself to 35 photos and plan to keep the ooey-gooeyness to a minimum.  VENUE The wedding took...
