Here it is!!! Your second Super Bowl Snack Recipe!!!
Happy Superbowl Sunday!!
Super Bowl facts: About 7.5 million parties are held on Super Bowl Sunday with 43.9 million party attendees. The game is broadcast into 232 countries and territories and in 34 languages. 8 million pounds of avocados are sold in preparation for Super Bowl Sunday.
BACON WRAPPED SAUSAGES
Ingredients:
3/4 pound regular bacon
1 pound package small smoked sausages
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Preparation...Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut bacon slices in half.
Fry the bacon but do not let bacon get crisp.
Cool bacon 5 minutes on paper towels.
Wrap each sausage with a piece of the precooked bacon.
Roll each little bundle in brown sugar, fasten with a toothpick, and place on wire rack.
Place rack in 13" x 9" baking pan lined with foil.
Drizzle maple syrup over the sausages and sprinkle with pepper.
Bake 25-35 minutes until sausages are hot and bacon is crisp.
Remove rack from pan and cool sausage bundles 4-5 minutes before serving.
Serves 8
It's important to use the wire rack because the drippings that come from the bacon and sugar burn easily. You want to keep the little sausages out of the drippings.

Superbowl Sunday is almost upon us!!!
Thinking of a different kind of snack? We've got one for you!!!
We'll have another one on tomorrow's show!
These tiny puff rolls made with beer may be filled with crab salad, tuna salad, chicken salad or whatever suits your fancy for a tasty appetizer. They are quite easy to make, are a perfect bite-size sandwich, and perfect for parties. Beer puffs work equally as well with sweet fillings for dessert bites.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup beer
8 Tablespoons (1 stick or 1/4 pound) butter
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
Filling of your choice
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat baking liners.
In a heavy saucepan, heat beer and butter until it barely comes to a boil and the butter is melted.
Add flour and salt, lower heat, and stir constantly until the mixure pulls away from the side of the pan and forms a ball.
Remove from the heat and let rest for 1 minute.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating each one in until the dough is shiny.
Drop or pipe dough in 1-inch rounds onto prepared baking sheets.
Bake 10 minutes at 450 degrees F.
Reduce heat to 350 degrees F, and turn baking sheets.
Bake beer puffs an additional 10 minutes until brown and dry.
Turn off oven, crack open the oven door, and let puffs dry further until cool.

I was looking through photos...missing the heat...and the fun of the Bahamas...there truly is no place like home...but getting pampered the way we did at the Royal Bahamian Spa and Offshore Island...kinda spoils you. I'm adding some pics and video...the video on this blog shows our chef at "Kimonos" Japanese Restaurant...the other chefs there call him "Baby Chef". He was very entertaining!
A story was done in Nassau about the radio broadcasts at Sandals...they chose a picture of our broadcast area to use for the story!! Yaay us!! Check it out by clicking on the link below....

Wow!! Still not caught up on everything since we got back Saturday!!!
Our Resort was so beautiful...there wasn't a single spot that was not gorgeous..lots of backdrops for pictures. That's helpful when there are at least 8 Weddings per day there! Now that they are working with Martha Stewart for their weddings, I'm sure that number will rise!!
There was always plenty of room for everyone, and always somewhere to go and have a seat for some quiet time or just to soak up the sun and the peace.
We toured the city and the Forts..walked around downtown to check out the shops and ended up a the "Straw Market". This is where you can buy all kinds of handmade items, including bags and small toys. There are also wall to wall purses, wallets and sunglasses ! Coach, Prada, Dolce and Gabanna...of course knock offs. There is talk though that some vendors are lucky enough to have real brand name bags that have the slightest stitch flaw...that they can sell. I'm pretty sure the bags I bought...are fakes. I'm okay with that. It was fun to check them out and get some gifts.

Happy Monday!
Our first couple of days at the Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort has been so luxurious, fun and of course filling!!!
Danny and I are here with our winner Paddy and his girlfriend Natalie as well as our boss Brad and my hubby Joseph
It's a beautiful resort as you'll see in our pics.
The group of us hopped on bus and headed downtown to check out the shops. Natalie had told us she wanted to find a place called the "Straw Market". A place where you can bargain for your purchases which include bags and wallets by the names of Coach, D&G, Prada as well movies for $5....just not sure about the sale of some movies that have not even left theatre's yet...hmmm...
Back at the resort, we were treated to a fabulous dinner to welcome us here. It was a Surf and Turf meal...yummy!
Today was a major relaxation day for our group. We all went in different directions to relax under the sun by the pool, the Cay Offshore Island and perhaps a little nap.
Tonight we will be treated to the General Managers Cocktail Reception and tomorrow we'll be taking the "City and Country Tour" to experience Nassau.
