Veggie Muffins by MADE

I found this awesome recipe from MADE the other day. It was veggie muffins. It was filled with different kinds of vegetables and I saw how happy her kids looked eating them and I thought to myself I just had to try it for my very picky eater. So I made her a batch that very day and I told her I was making "cupcakes" and she was super excited. Here she is with her piece.



Well, instead of devouring the cupcakes like I hoped she would she just picked at it and was taking out the carrots. Oh brother. Well, I am off to the Internet to search for more ideas on how to get my 2 year old to eat her veggies. Any ideas???

I decided to add a little bit of powder sugar on mine. Mmmmmm. (its was good with or without it). Seriously, these are so delish!!

Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread

A big Thank you to Joy the Baker!!!!

When I saw this post



I thought to myself.... Please! I hope someone comes by for a visit so I have an excuse to make this! A week later my mom calls and tells me that her and my Aunt want to come and visit me for a few days.

Happy dance!!

I asked my Aunt to help me since she loves to bake bread. Let me tell you this was a long process but so worth it. This is how my turned out.




I didn't have enough room to fit all my bread slices in one single row so I had to squeeze them in the sides. It looked alittle wierd but...... Mmmmmm, it tasted soooo goooood:) I think a little vanilla ice cream would have complimented this very well. Next time!

Mod Podge

My Grandmother turned 99 years old on the 18th of this month and we were all getting together to throw her a party. What do you get a person who is turing 99 years old? I had no idea. Then I remembered that I had downloaded a templete last Christmas called Heritage Blocks.

I went to Michaels and bought a block. I had to wipe out my coupons because $8.00 for a piece of block is too expensive for me! I then sawed it to the templates measurements, also painted and sanded the edges of each blocks.



I was ready to Mod Podge my blocks. So easy!! But before I did that I had used distressed ink around the edges of each print to give it that antique look.



Here is an AMAZING video from How Does She on how to Mod Podge blocks.

Here is my first attempt at Mod Podge.




Now put it in a box.



Wrap it up pretty and ready to give!

A little thank you gift.

Here is a little thank you gift I made for someone who did something kind for me the other week. I found this cute label at Lolly Chops and printed it out and attached it to a little bag of treats. Who doesn't like treats?

Juliana's magnum opus

Mommy is not the only one who is creative around the house.

Brownies in a Jar

I am in charge of Activity Days at my church and we meet twice a month at my place to do some fun activities. At least I try to make it as fun as possible so the girls would always enjoy coming. Well a few months ago, one of the girls had a birthday so I decided to give her Brownies in Jar. I then decided that these were too cute and yummy that it would make all the girls jealous. So I decided to make all the girls one to celebrate everyone's birthday for the year. YUM! How fun is that!

The normal recipe says to follow all instructions, then fill the jar 1/2 way full with the mix, bake as directed. This took me an HOUR for the brownies to bake. But it tasted so good!



I also found these adorable labels from a website called Lolly Chops. These labels are too adorable and you can download them for free! I just added pretty little ribbon for the finishing touch.
