Wednesday Randomness

Wednesday randomness #1 – Don’t you hate it when you make a cake and have this thing of chocolate beauty sitting on your counter just calling your name? And then there’s the waste game…you don’t want to WASTE it so instead you eat it all….by yourself….in three days. (I may or may not be speaking from experience!) Well I have the solution!

This little boy in my belly makes me crave something sweet every evening so it’s important to have something on hand but not too easily accessible to fulfill that chocolate craving.

So start by making a batch of cupcakes. Once they are cooled, select the ones that you need to run a quality control test on and then take the rest and put them in the freezer. Frost your test ones and consume them with a 1/2 gallon of milk. Then place your frosting in the fridge.

Here’s the big secret. The next night when it’s time for that chocolate fix, take 1 (maybe 2) cupcakes from the freezer and put a spoonful of your frosting from the fridge on top.

Then microwave them for 20 seconds and BAM! You have warm gooey cupcakes like they are just out of the oven!

Problem solve, crisis averted! (If at this point you have to stop reading to go make cupcakes, I understand!)

Wednesday randomness #2 – Andrew has always loved helping in the kitchen. Muffins and pancakes are his specialty. Well Joshua is now of age that he doesn’t like to be left out so I now have two little helpers in the kitchen! There’s nothing like two cutie pies keeping careful watch over their muffins!

Wednesday randomness #3 – Observe the boys new favorite place to chill.

Wednesday randomness #4 – Tonight before bed the boys were sitting so sweetly with me on the couch. I asked daddy to snap some pictures and they starting jumping around like monkeys. What does a momma have to do to get a decent picture with her children?

Wednesday randomness #5 – My oven has been busy baking…..ribbon! Working on some of my new favorite craft, korker bows! We are going to Ohio in 2 1/2 weeks and I need to make sure I am loaded up with goodies for miss Caroline!

Happy Wednesday!
