Cupcakes, Cupcakes Everywhere

Posted in Family, and Photography

Cupcakes here ~ Cupcakes there Project 365 – #034 Yesterday, we had a good bit of fun making and decorating cupcakes.  After we finished making the cupcakes, Munchkin headed next door to see if her friend was available to play.  They were going to play outside, but the temperatures have dropped here.  (Nothing like many parts of the country are dealing with right now, but quite chilly for us.)  I told them that they could play upstairs instead.

Project 365 – #018 Sometimes, when you’ve been cleaning, purging, and organizing for some time, you need a little extra motivation to keep moving.  Today, Munchkin decided that she wanted something with chocolate, so I whipped up a batch of gluten free chocolate chunk muffins.

A Taste of Chocolate

Posted in Photography

Project 365 – #015 Munchkin really likes Hershey’s chocolate bars – no nuts – just chocolate.  For Christmas, she received a huge Hershey’s chocolate bar.  These are the last two pieces that remain.  Well, they did remain up until last night. lol!  She was very proud that she made that chocolate bar last for some time.  She even shared a few pieces with Daddy and a piece with me. This post is part of 365 Project.

Giveaway: Tropical Traditions Palm Oil

Posted in Photography, and Reviews

I have never used Virgin Palm Oil in my cooking, so I was surprised when I saw the orange color of the solid oil. It is reddish/orange due to a high concentration of carotenes and tocols. It also has a unique flavor. I probably wouldn’t use it in delicate baking items as it would throw off the flavor, but for cooking, it was perfect. It has a high melting point and is shelf stable. It also has no trans fatty acids. Since Virgin Palm Oil is stable at high temps, I decided to try it out a slightly different version…
