Honey Pistachio Cake with Honey Cream

honey pistachio cake with honey cream recipe

Thank you very much for the nice comments on my last post. My son's elbow is doing better. He was supposed to get a plaster cast yesterday, but it is still too swollen, so were aiming for Monday. He is is less pain, but he needs to take it easy, and that is proving to be more difficult than anything. I seem to be on a simple cake kick. I recently posted a Chocolate Yogurt Cake, and have been making Raspberry Buckle a lot lately. This cake caught my eye in this month's issue of Better Homes … [Read more...]

Chocolate Yogurt Cake

My poor baby broke his elbow yesterday. He was playing on the monkey bars at school and fell and landed on his elbow. It was very long day at the hospital getting him fixed up, and he was a trooper. I know that he was in a lot of pain, and he took it like a man. There is nothing worse than seeing your child in pain, it is pretty awful. He needs to stay home from school for the next few days because the doctor needs the swelling to go down before he can put a plaster cast on it. In the meantime, … [Read more...]

As you can see, my sweet little spot on the Internet has gotten a facelift. It was time to make a change and I was overjoyed to work with two people again (the same duo that created the new look for The Creative Mama) that make this process so easy and enjoyable. Jane Johnson of Jane Johnson Photography and Design made me this gorgeous new logo. Working with Jane is amazing because she is good at knowing what I want, even when I do not know exactly. I knew that I wanted to incorporate lemons … [Read more...]

The Luck of the Irish

I spent the afternoon baking treats for my children to take to school. It is not St. Patrick's Day without some Rainbow Cupcakes, now is it? William's class is having a green food tasting. I made a compromise with him, if I could make something that I wanted, then I would make something that he wanted. I wanted to make an avocado pound cake from Joy the Baker's new cookbook (which is adorable and you should have it in your collection), and he wanted green cupcakes. Shocker. The avocado cake was … [Read more...]

Nutty Irishman Cupcakes

nutty irishman cupcake recipe

I really want to be Irish. Like, real bad. I am not Irish at all, but I am still hopeful. I think that maybe if I pretend that I am Irish long enough, I can be an honorary Irishman. In the spirit of being Irish, I always make some St. Patrick's Day treats. I love how excited the kids get about St. Patrick's Day. Leprechauns seem to visit the classroom at school and cause some serious chaos. They make a mess, and leave glitter everywhere! And sometimes they even come to the house and make … [Read more...]
