Pioneer Woman’s Coffee Cake Literally!

reesha76 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 03:41:09 +0000

On tonights bake list is Pioneer Woman’s Coffee Cake Literally! Now let me be the first to tell you, well unless you have already made this yourself, that is. This cake is the most MOIST cake I have ever eaten. It is like a tres leches cake, sans the leche. It has the perfect amount of coffee and is simply delicious. And to top it off it is super easy peasy to make!

I would post the recipe here, but well… if you hop on to her website, you can print it!!! And she has step by step pictures in case you are like me and don’t like to read the recipe, but rather look at the pictures and wing it!

So my fearless bakers… what is that crickets I hear??? well either way, BAKE ON BABY!! BAKE ON!

A new twist

reesha76 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 03:50:42 +0000

So I decided to take this blog into a new direction…. Lately, I have found myself sampling recipes from various other blogs. Quite honestly, most of them are from the pioneer woman, but there has also been quite a few from Bakerella and also Smitten Kitchen. I think it would be fun to chronicle my samples of their recipes and then critique them.

So dust off your aprons, slip your glasses on and lets get to it!

Today, I had a bit of a sweet tooth, I thought about making the newest recipe listed here, but two cakes in one week seemed……..well a bit much! So I headed over to Smitten Kitchen, because I had seen a tasty treat there that I was dying to try. So I busted out the box of rice cereal, stick of butter, sea salt and bag of large marsh mellows and was ready to go!

I mean come on who doesn’t know how to whip together a quick batch of rice krispy treats right? It is an absolutely simple thing to make and by browning the butter, you turn a simple timeless classic into a D-R-E-A-M-Y new indulgence. You will never want to go back to the old recipe, I guarantee it!

YUM

So tomorrow is Joey’s big 15th bday and this year he requested that I make peppermint white chocolate red velvet cupcakes like they have at our local cupcakery. Well much to my surprise I got the frosting part PERFECT and the cake was good, but not quite good enough.

I shall keep working on it to make it perfect!

Just thought I would share a little something :O) being that I haven’t posted in quite some time.

Hope everyone is well.

OH my goodness could it be?

My sweet lil babe is turning one in less than a month! I can hardly stand it. I can not believe how quickly time has flown and how quickly she has grown!

She is just amazing! Full of personality, very inquisitive and just a happy go lucky gal! She can stand on her own and even stand up as if she is about to walk, but isn’t quite there. And in all honesty, I’m glad… take your time sweet gal take your time! Mommy wants to enjoy your itty bittiness for just a bit longer!

Miley Cyrus 2009

reesha76 — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 04:51:57 +0000

So I took Bella to see the Miley Cyrus concert last week. It was a great show, but not sure what I was thinking. We had too much planed for one day. School, walk-athon then the concert and to top it all off it was a HOT day! Ugh.

We had a ton of fun, but as you can tell from the picture below we were exhausted. Both of us had been up since at least 6am.

Because I love pictures… and my kids
