go ahead and treat yourself…..

A week or so ago I hosted my mom’s birthday. It was a last minute change of plans so I didn’t have much time to figure out what we were going to have for a cake. I really wanted to splurge and purchase a cake from Nothing BuNdt Cakes but they are pricey!! So I put my trust in the internet and found a recipe and made it myself. I have to say it was SUPER easy and luckily enough I had a bunt pan.

Everyone LOVED it and I would defiantly make it again.

you can find the recipe here:

** a couple of things, first I had everything I needed at home but the mini chocolate chips and didn’t want to go to the store so I just chopped up regular size chocolate chips.  second the frosting recipe makes a TON I would cut the recipe in half.

The other delicious treat I would like to share is NIE NIE’s Oreo's. Since they hit the lips of my young one’s they request them all the time!! These two recipes are very similar and are for chocolate lovers.

MoRE PleAse...

A weeks ago I tried a new recipe for Chicken Pot Pie that my friend posted on her blog. I was hesitant at first because I am the cook to a very pIcKY group. I finally purchased all of the required ingrediants and started cooking. A small serving for everyone to start out but in no time everyone was asking for MoRE PLEASE!!! This recipe says six servings but I will add another half to the receipe when I make it again. It was eAsY and Delicious!!! So check it out here!!

The only thing I did different is, I boiled the chicken in the remaining chicken broth, added a chicken bullion cube and water for 15ish minutes and shredded. Oh yeah, I didn't add thyme either because that was not in our spice cupbord. I think that the Paprika makes it so dont skip that either, I will stop now and go try it for your self!!!
