Ms Kitty's Sloppy Joe's and Bon Voyage to Aubrey

Aubrey was chosen for the Jr. National Young Leaders conference in Washington DC.  

she leaves in the morning on her first trip by airplane.  Her Mom and I have been making sandwiches and cupcakes to help raise money for her trip.  Good friends from work, Glen and Kitty Dietrich made Sloppy Joe sandwiches recently and we sold sandwiches and chips at work for lunch.  The sloppy joe's are delicious.  Ms Kitty gave me permission to share her recipe here.

I want Aubrey to know how proud everyone is of her and to wish her a wonderful trip.  

Her mom is worried  because this will be Aubrey's first trip alone.  As a Mom, I would be worried too, but Aubrey is so smart and mature for her age, I know she will be fine and will come back home with many wonderful stories.  Aubrey you be good and be SAFE!

Know that there are many people back home that loves you and misses you!

Hawaiian Sandwich Rolls

I had a Silpada Jewelry Show a few nights back.  If you have never seen this jewelry line-You should have a look.  They have some beautiful things an the quality is excellent.  mysilpada.com/sabrina.daves  I served my Buffalo chicken dip & crackers, Cheesecake squares, vegetables and dip and these Hwaiian Roll Sandwiches.  I also served a wine that I had never tried before, and luckily it turned out to be one of the best tasting wines I have had. It is From the Gallo Family "Twin Valley"  White Zinfandel.  Even though it is a White Zinfandel, the color is a blush.  You can check the entire family of wines out here ejgtwinvalley.com  Anyway, back to the recipe, it was given to be my friend-Pam and they were delicious.
