So, you know and I know that this is a food blog, right?
Which means I post recipes for you all and then I cross my fingers and hope that you love the food and that your family and friends call you super cook of the universe.
That is my goal, plain and simple.
But today is Saturday and you might have some family and friends near by that want to hang out together and have a bit of fun. So that’s what I have for you. A recipe for fun!
My family and I have been playing Speed Scrabble a lot since the holidays, and it is really a ton of fun (and a little bit addicting 🙂 It’s kind of like playing Words With Friends, except you play with real friends who are living and breathing and sitting next to you. You don’t have to know a lot of big fancy words, simple three letter words work well. Which is lucky for me, my simple mind and my hideous spelling skills. The game is great for a small number of players or for a large group. Kids can participate and so can great grandmothers. All you need are a couple of boxes of Scrabble, a handful of players and a table. Pretty simple, right?
Because I love ya, and I love to pass on a fun thing or two to you wonderful readers…I picked up a couple of Scrabble Board Games for one of you!
To enter the giveaway leave me a comment telling me one of your favorite games. You know…like Monopoly, or Canasta Spin the Bottle or Leap Frog. You have until Thursday at midnight to enter. The winner will be announced on Friday morning bright and early with the sunshine.
Now….let me show you how to play!
The edible kind. 🙂
Right now, we are enjoying Sorry Sliders. I love any game that gets the family together around the table.

I love Speed Scrabble! Another one we've gotten into lately is Settlers of Catan.
We love to play Wacky Six. My little kids as well as my older kids love it. It is pretty competitive…love it!
I love Settlers of Catan and Ticket to Ride 🙂
I tend to change favorites every now and again. Right now, I'm loving Milles Bornes.
We try to do a “family game night” once a week and my kids love Monopoly and Scene-It!
Oh my gosh this looks like so much fun! I had never heard of speed scrabble. My teenage boys love playing scrabble with their grandparents. Some good memories being made there! We definitely love game night at our house…settlers of catan, cities and nights, parchessi, monopoly, uno and the list goes on an on!
Side note…made your bourbon chicken the other night and it was thumbs up by all! Hard to do with my picky family. Thanks!
We play speed scrabble a lot but I would love to have some tiles dedicated to this instead of raiding the real scrabble box! I also like rummikub!
I hardly have any games :>( I would LOVE to have this and invite some people over and play. I think that the last game I played was Mexican Dominos or fish !
