Super Bowl Plans (or lack thereof)

by Chocolate-Covered Katie on February 7, 2010

In the past, some pretty cool-cat guests have shown up at my Super Bowl parties. 

Like this sugar-cookie guy

xpanda

…and all his colorful animal cookie friends.

.But this year I have no idea where I’ll end up, because my friends seem to equate “planning ahead” with “the devil.” 

*Sigh* they’re my friends, and I love ‘em.  But sometimes they drive me crazy!

.

What about you? 

Are you a planner?  Or do you like to live spontaneously? 

I know I promised cupcakes, but today I’m in a rush.  This week, though, I have some really exciting posts planned.  (They’re exciting to me, anyways.  Hopefully you’ll like them too!!)  Cupcakes, a raw dessert, and a really fun new breakfast recipe are all on the menu.

.

Sneak Preview of tomorrow’s post:

Now what could this possibly be???

.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!  Let’s hope the commercials this year are better than last year’s! :-?

Final note: NuNaturals Stevia Giveaway here.

I’m definitely a planner and my friends… not so much… and it drives me crazy too. BUT, like you said, love ‘em!! Your panda is so adorable!! :) Your creativity never ceases to amaze me.

Hmmmm, my guess is pancakes with raisins and maybe sweet potato sprinkles on top??? haha!! Whatever it is I’m sure it’s amazing!! :)

Have a great Sunday!!

I’m a planner, big time. My husband and his friends are very spontaneous and always make plans at the last minute, while my family plans days, weeks, or months in advance. It’s been an interesting little quirk in our marriage!

Haha, you, ignoring us? I’m still amazed that you have time to breath with all the giveaways you’re hosting and the fudge babies you’re making!
I just made the ‘German Chocolate cake’ version…yummy and very fudgy, I added a secret ingredient, but I don’t think it’s vegan…? I’m clueless about veganisim.

Hmmm…I think those are Carrot cake crepes: Raisin, carrots (or it’s pumpkin?), coconut butter. Anyway, it looks yummy!

I’m excited for the Stevia giveaway!! I have twice the chance to win this one. It’s cool to have more than 1 winner ^_^

Could it be…carrot cake cereal/pancakes/crepe cakes? Either way, it looks tasty :)

I had fabulous plans but the snow means = everything’s canceled! :( Ah well, just hanging out at home with the fam instead and trying to stay warm.

Carrot cake something ;) Cute panda bear!!! I hope you have an awesome Sunday, Kati woo woo <3

Awww, love the panda cupcake. :] Definitely spontaneous… maybe to a fault. I try to plan, but it never works out. I always end up just going “screw the schedule!” :D

My guess is… chia pudding or crepe cakes? With Artisana coconut butter, carrot puree, and raisins/dried cherries? Hmmm…

Those cookies are too cute! I bet that photo is pancakes…

Those are SO carrot cake crepe cakes! xD
My best guy friend is nuts about planning everything, I am not. We pretty much clash in that sense, but we love each other regardless!

And I love your panda cookie! Pandas are awesome.

I confess I have NEVER watched a superbowl! I grew up abroad so it was never a thing, and ten when I got to college in the US, I’ve always volunteered to work on Superbowl Sunday since no one else wants to and it’s not a big deal to me. I DON’T have work this year, though, so I may be popping my Superbowl cherry! My friends are like yours, though, so no plans yet. Go figure.

Jessica February 7, 2010 at 8:55 pm

I’m going to a friend’s house for the game but I’m not super excited about it, lol! Hehe, I feel you because I’m a total planner!!

I made fudge babies today! They had cashews, walnuts, figs, dates, and some of the cacao Artisana coconut butter…mmm! :)

I’m definitely a planner. I love having a plan and knowing what’s ahead for me before I get there. But on the flip side, I’m a procrastinator. It’s sad, I don’t like it, but it’s the truth. I wish I could fix it!

The panda cookie is adorable, and I’m gonna guess those are the carrot cake crepe pancakes! I paid close attention to the future carrot cake recipes since I’m also a big fan :)

Hmmm…could it be something with carrots? Yum!
I’ve never been a sports person myself XD

I’m totally a planner…drives me crazy when people wait ’till the last minute to figure things out. Now if I have a plan and things spontaneously change to a more fun plan, I’m totally down with that!

Hope you have a fun time whatever you do!

I’ve always been a big planner, but I realised it was starting to impact upon my life negatively, as I’d get stressed if anything happened spontaneously. So during my current travels, I’m working really hard at “going with the flow”. Mostly it’s led to amazing opportunities, but booking flights to London only three days in advance was maybe a little too stressful :P

I’d guess something to do with carrot cake, but you’ve done so many variations on that already… maybe some pumpking or sweet potato puree with raisins and coconut icing on pancakes?

liz February 7, 2010 at 11:33 pm

i’m a planner to the core. and i don’t like the plans to change once they’re made! fortunately my better half is a fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants guy, so he keeps me from being too uptight about planning!

the picture looked yummy! i’m guessing carrot cake pancakes with a cooked-carrot/raisin/coco cream topping?

Michal February 7, 2010 at 11:49 pm

How cute is that little panda cookie dude :) Way too cute!! I wonder could they be pancakes, or perhaps a cake-y type thing with raisins, maybe carrots or sweet potatos and coconut butter?

Cant wait for the new posts but i remember seeing an excerpt in bullet point fashion of things you were going to be posting and one of them was something to the effect of “such and such story if I get the courage up to tell it.” Ive been pondering that for DAYS and wondering, hoping, that all is well and life is good :)

My friends don’t plan either! It can be fustrating sometimes because I want to know if I should make other plans; but I still love them.

Sometimes I plan…sometimes I’m more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kind of gal. Just depends on the day. :)

Raw carrot cake bread????

Reply

Cindy February 8, 2010 at 4:27 am

your sneak preview looks like carrot taquitos. Can I have some! I’ve got a hankerin for some sweets, but healthy ones.

planning….I go nuts if I am not totally prepared and organized. I had no idea, actually until today, what a big problem relaxing and not planning for things is for me.

another thing to work on I guess.

your panda is cute! so dang cute!

happy Sunday …xo

Carrot cake pancakes perhaps?? Actually quite excited about the Superbowl this year because my friend Alek was one of the graphic designers working on the Budweiser commercial about the town that made the human bridge… it took him three months of working with green screen just for that short commercial!

I am so a planner. I don’t feel comfortable without a plan for the day (for eating, to do list, plans, whatever). I am also a manager by day so it comes with the territory. I always want to make sure everything is done efficiently as well, I hatch all these elaborate plans – drives my friends bonkers sometimes.

That panda is adorable!
