Crabby

I don't feel well, and then on top of it i had forgotten that i promised someone that i would make her a cake!!! OOPS! Well here it is... i am going to bed!

P.s. I don't like cake but this recipe was pretty good. Coconut cake with Cream cheese and coconut frosting!

The cake, pail and crab are all cakes.

BABY SHOWER!

My friend is throwing a "Birds and the Bees" themed baby shower for Baby Gwen. I am in charge of the cupcakes and a diaper cake. I also wanted to try flooding cookies for the first time... AND all the presents are supposed to be hand made. I am knitting a baby sweater, making felt booties, and hopefully a nursery ryhme CD. We will see...

Thank you Grandma for the Marzipan! It works way better than fondant and tastes better too!

A lazy Saturday...

Nothing will remind me of my Daddy like a great breakfast on a Saturday morning. Dad would always wake up early and fix all of us a terrific breakfast: Swedish pancakes, waffles, coffee cake, etc. This morning i woke up and decided i had a hankerin for some pancakes topped with my new knottsberry farm syrup! Yum!

Cleanliness is next to Godliness

Is it just me, or is there something magical about having a perfectly clean house?

... until the next morning when you wake up and the magic is gone.

Minestrone

There is nothing like a hearty soup on a cold day!

Psalm 31

"A wife of Noble Character, who can find?"

This has been my prayer lately. That i would be the perfect wife for my husband. I am trying too cook healthier meals, keep the house clean, be diligent to God's word, and the list goes on...


It is a daily struggle for me to have energy to do all these things after work and school. I desperately need God's help to complete these tasks with a smile on my face. It is a lot easier when my hubby finally comes home and i remember how blessed I am.

I miss my mom.

Pho

My first attempt... a bit sketchy... it was good but i didn't make enough broth so we could only eat a little bit of the beef as it was not cooked! OOPS! Next time...

Cheese & Wine Party

Birthday Time!

My husbands birthday was Monday, so i threw him a not so surprise birthday party!

We had three kinds of wine, and five different cheeses. Yum!

Valentines Day!

I love all holidays... I am making Pasta Salad with heart shaped pasta! I am so excited, last year i couldn't find any heart shaped pasta so i cut pepperoni into hearts for about an hour... so the pasta will be a lot easier, and prettier! I will take any excuse to make fun foods!
