Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
This week I am doing a basic cake decorating class. We will be discussing better baking techniques, recipes and basic decorating to make things pretty – but still easy! I love easy and pretty probably as much as pretty yet functional. 🙂 Here is the link for my friends for the presentation in PDF format. …
Here is the EASIEST chocolate frosting I have ever made. It will frost 24 cupcakes using a knife to spread it like a can of frosting would. To make high pillars of frosting on top, you will need to double the recipe. And… NO trans fats! The FDA is going to ban them soon anyway, …
**Update** I updated the Chicken Freezer Meal Inventory sheet. I didn’t realize it had converted into PDF on 2 pages instead of one. That is now fixed. Recipe: I wanted a caramel frosting that was light in calories, but still delicious. This fit the bill. I know chocolate cake should have chocolate frosting, however, I …
Book Update: I finished my freezer meal presentation for one MOPS group and it was a huge hit. I can’t wait to finish the book. Here are the sections so far: Preface, Introduction, What foods you can freeze, what foods you cannot freeze, how to freeze (almost) everything methods, A chart of all cuts of …

Book Update: I was chosen to make Spritz cookies for the holiday book for Heirloom’s Baking Sheet. The recipe looks very pretty! I started reading “The Rent Collector” by Camron Wright. It is a captivating read and enjoying the first part of it – which is sometimes the slow part of books. The setting is …
Book Update: No books! I have been working on a craft to share and revolutionize the kitchen! Okay, no not really. But, it did make my poor dining chairs look a lot nicer after 6 years of children in the house. Our book club books for this month are “A Thousand Splendid Suns” and …

Apple Recipes: Slow Cooked Apple Butter Paleo Apple Muffins Apple Crisp Pizza Blueberry Applesauce Apple Cream Cheese Bundt Cake Apple Cider Caramels Apple Pecan Muffins Apple Cinnamon Rolls Baked Apple Oatmeal Apple Crisp Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Apple …
So… I got an email the other day asking for 6 cakes. Carrot cakes. The kind that requires lots of shredding of carrots and toasting of nuts. Now I see why box mixes are sooooo convenient and desirable. I think a box mix would have been about $3 and the crap frosting in a can …
There is a serious lack of desserts lately! I’m sorry. But, this recipe will make it up to you. I promise. The chocolate cake is dark and moist. The layers of cookies and cream are like the tasty cream filling of an oreo cookies (I used Trader Joe’s Jo Joe’s). Now after making this, here …
