    Sounds like a good way to throw a party without all the stress. Exploding coffee pot? Bummer. The walnuts recipe sounds really good.

    Great tips Kelly! Looks like you had a ton of fun, on my way to my bro-in-laws 50th today:). I will be trying the walnut recipe with the Rosemary, which I am obsessed with, I noticed you like it too! Have a great Sunday, Jen

    Hi Kelly,
    I think we’ll try your walnut recipe with pecans. We have a few pecan trees in our yard. It sounds really good. I’ll let you know how it works with pecans.

    Hi Kelly,
    I saw the pics from your party on FB and it looked like everybody had a blast. I was going to say that we would try your walnut recipe with pecans, but I notice that Rhett already said that! Love that display of your husband’s pictures. We’re giving my mother a 90th birthday party in a few weeks so I’m gathering pictures of her now. Will try to find those number balloons-they are really cool!

    Looks like a lot of fun. So sorry about the exploding Coffee Pot! We had an exploding punch bowl at my wedding, but no one told me until after it was cleaned up. Didn’t want to make the bride nervous!

    I make the EXACT same Rosemary Walnuts. Gourmet Magazine cookbook, Ruth Reichl’s amazing recipe? That is where I discovered mine. I also discovered that adding some Brown Sugar to this recipe makes them over the top, and even more addictive. To the point where I can eat them for lunch, every day, for at least a month.

      The brown sugar sounds great. How much did you use?

    Looks like a super fun party Kelly!! Was the hubba surprised? LOVE the “still got it” on the cake. Too stinking cute. Great idea 😉 Exploding+ almost everything is not a good combo. No fun!!

    Sounds like the party was a blast, minus the exploding coffee pot. But did anyone do the worm?

    And your stress-free tips tie in well with the ones I just shared in my Google+ hangout. http://www.attagirlsays.com/2012/12/05/watch-live-stress-free-holiday-hosting-tips/

    Hope you’re recovered from the par-tay!

    We had a party this weekend too, and I agree with all your tips. For us, as long as there is champagne for girls, scotch for boys, and some nice low lighting, we are good to go!

    I know I’m late to the party and I really want to make these for Thanksgiving but I want to make sure I have it right. Is that 1/4 stick of butter or 1/4 cup of butter?? Thanks so much!

    Made these last weekend for a ladies meeting. Everyone loved them. I cut back a little in the garlic salt and a smidge in the cayenne. I also rounded the teaspoons of Rosemary as that’s the flavor I wanted to dominate. Will make more for a social gathering this weekend!
