Month Off!

Since my kitchen table has temporarily become PTA headquarters, I have put the recipe blog on hold.

But start thinking about September, and your quickest, healthiest meals for busy moms. September is our Quick and Healthy Meal month. I want at least 1 post from EVERYONE!

Everyone...try to enjoy your last month of summer!!!

Thanks Everybody!

Congratulations Amber! You are the winner of a Hello Cupcake Book, and this awesome blog award! Good for you!

Popcorn Cupcakes

I LOVE CUPCAKES...so I've been waiting for a good excuse to make them. I'm having a little "Girls night In" tonight with a few friends. I thought these popcorn cupcakes were so cute...chocolate cupcakes, vanilla frosting and marshmallows.

Pioneer Day Cupcake Pops

Thanks bakerella! Red, white and blue for Pioneer Day.
Am I going to give myself another Hello, Cupcake Book?

The Winner Gets This!!!!!

And not just a picture of the book, but the actual book this time! I have it and I love to just look at it! Again, all entries must be in by July 31. I know, I know...I feel like I may not have time either...but it is a fun way to connect...and something to do as a family! It will be fun! And not many people have posted lately! I am feeling a little lonely! Good Luck!

Happy July!

For the month of July, I thought we would do something a little diffrent. If you would like to participate in our creative cake decorating challenge, just make a cake and take a picture, and I will have a really good, amazing, real prize for the winner. I will get husbands, or someone to judge! This cake was made by Jeff's sister Ginni for her little girls 2nd birthday.

Some of you may remember these from my blog in April. Neither of these projects count for the contest.

If you need inspiration, check out http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/cakescupcakes/, or http://bakerella.blogspot.com/ for some great ideas. The cake or cupcakes should represent your family in some way...and all entries must be submitted by July 31. Anyone who would like to participate who is not yet an author on the blog, let me know. The more the merrier!

Happy Baking!!!
