Random Tuesday Recipe and Ramblings…

This cake was so good that there are only pictures of it sliced since we couldn't wait to eat it. My three day weekend was spent organizing and cleaning the house. We got most of it done. My office will probably never be this clean again. Picky Eater also came by and was nice enough to fire up his old computer since mine was dying. We are hoping this one will last until computers go on a good sale. I'm far too excited about this. They better do it in my lifetime or I'll be mad...or dead. Either way. The dog is very excited that hockey is back. One of the most asked questions I get are who is the couple you always take pictures of on Instagram? So first off they are not a couple. Just friends. Almost brother and sister like as they are always beating each other up and picking on each other. I took their photos first as a joke and now it's just what we do. I joke that I am going to get their photos mounted and show them in an art show. :P The other question is … [Read more...]

*My Zumba dancing is so bad that it made my neighbors move. Or at least that is what I secretly hope. I do stomp extra loud for them. Now before you feel sorry for them know that they smoke out on their patio and we live in a completely smoke free place…not even parking lot. And from 8 am to 10pm daily they play their music so loud my floor vibrates (hence my Zumba retaliation). *I may turn into a jelly bean I have eaten sooo many lately. If possible I think I ate my weight in them this week and going to two of me. :) Seriously, someone hide them from me. It’s very bad that Easter is around the corner. *I have an urge to buy a cookbook anyone have a good suggestion for one? *People like some seriously ugly stuff on Pinterest. *Oreo came out with a Birthday Cake Oreo. I have heard mixed reviews…but that won’t stop me from trying. *Being back to hockey is so nice. My arm isn’t 100% but it’s not bothered during hockey. Plus this girl got a new stick for … [Read more...]

Mini 3.14′s…

It’s the day after Thanksgiving and while most people will tell you that it’s the day to shop, I say it officially starts that which is the baking frenzy. It’s when I get the most traffic all year to my site (not to be confuse with January where everyone is on a diet and no one stops by). :P I will admit that in the world of pastry I don’t really do pie. I hate making crust. And while I will happily eat a pie that someone made (especially apple) or hell even a Hostess hand pie, I just don’t get whipped into a frenzy over pie making. But then I saw a cinnamon roll crust using premade pie crust (feel free to make your own pie crust...I’m just in a time crunch) I knew pie had to be made. It’s really quite interesting. You cut the pie dough like cinnamon rolls and then re-roll it out. I also prefer everything to be in mini form, I just feel less guilty. Which is ironic because I tend to eat twice as much. I read a study once about the mini candy bars that the found … [Read more...]
