Like craft blogger Nikki, in Stitches, I’m more function than flourish in the kitchen, but this guest post by Terry’s Party Treasures on Nikki’s blog is SO cute and the tutorial pics are so good it made me want to attempt these Chili Pepper Cake Balls. And hey, in AZ we don’t need it to be Cinco de Mayo – these would be festive any day!
Did you catch SMB contributor Cate’s post earlier this week on The Simple Farm Market Garden? I want to visit this place!

Sarah Powers is a writer and Scottsdale mom of two. She came to the valley from Southern California by way of Chicago and would take Arizona summers over Midwest winters any day. A perfect day for Sarah starts with coffee, ends with chardonnay and includes lots of baby giggles and sticky-fingered kid kisses in between. She loves high ponytails, showtunes and using her kids as an excuse to stay in and go to bed early, which she would do anyway. Sarah tweets early and often about the messy, tender, fun, funny and irreverent moments of parenthood at www.twitter.com/powersofmine.
