It was my husband’s birthday last week. He and I went up to the cabin last weekend, he loves to go up there and that is what he wanted to do for his birthday! It was so beautiful up there and there was NO INVERSION…so I felt like I could breathe again! It was wonderful to look out the windows and see for miles and miles! The sun was out and it was gorgeous!

I made these cupcakes for him for our Sunday dinner with the family and I think that everyone liked them, so that means they get to stay on our recipe lists. :)

My husband and I went to our cabin last weekend and we went for a ride on Saturday morning to a hunting property not too far away. I could not believe how beautiful of a fall day it was! The sun was shining and the air was clear with a little bit of a crisp bite to it. I don’t know if there is a season more beautiful than fall!

Today I have a cupcake that compliments this beautiful fall season! It has the wonder flavor of fresh apples, the sweetness of caramel and the greatness of the salt added to top it all off!

Today I have a few recipes that I posted last year, but they are some of my favorite “Spring” recipes so I thought that it would be fun to share them again here:

This first recipe is my husband’s absolute, most favorite dessert!

This is the one that he requests whenever I ask him what he wants to have for dessert. And this is what he gets every year for Father’s Day!

I have been cleaning, organizing and throwing out a bunch of stuff all last week. It feels so good. I cleaned out my office/craft room and a big closet, cupboards and drawers. Then I started in the kitchen and now I need to keep going and get my kitchen all done. That is my next goal. I love it when I get the cleaning bug and can get a lot done because I really don’t get it very often, so I had better go for it while I can! When you clean everything out, you can see what you have (or rather how much you have!) and so when I organized all of my washi tape I decided that I needed to do a project with some of it!

So here is fun little idea using your washi tape that would be perfect for a little tea party, a shower, a birthday, or even for weddings!

It has been a long time since I have posted a recipe, especially a dessert recipe.

As I said yesterday, my husband had been gone and so I did not do any cooking! It was great for the diet! I lived on canned soup and scrambled eggs. I can honestly diet quite well, when I don’t have to cook for anyone else! :)

But he came back and so I decided to celebrate a bit with a dessert in the middle of the week!

I made these delicious Cherry Cheesecake Cups!

Aug. 2012 Visiting Teaching Handout

The message this month is “Taking Action in Time of Need” It tells us that as visiting teachers, one of our purposes is to help strengthen families and homes. The sisters we visit should be able to say, “If I have problems, I know my visiting teachers will help without waiting to be asked.”

So I decided that “Visiting Teachers Can be the Cherry on Top” would be the perfect thing to go along with this message, because we want our sisters to be able to say this about each of us! Continue reading →
