"OH, Cute!"

The other night Trista and Charlie were out of town to the valley and I was watching Madison. The family wanted a little treat so I decided to make brownies because they are fast and easy. Of coarse Madison wanted to help so we pulled up a chair. There wasn't much I could let a 2 year old do so I let her stir for a while. She had a blast. I was so cute I had to get the camera. When I came back she had the mix up her sleeve. When I told her to get a picture she made the funniest face and wouldn't take another one that looked more normal. (When you see the picture you may agree.) When I showed her it, thinking she would change her mind she just said "OH, Cute!" My attempt to get a normal picture failed, but I ended up loving this one anyway and still when I show her the picture she just says, "OH, Cute!"

Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies

I just made my family peanut butter recipe and rolled them into balls and rolled them in sugar. Once the cookies have baked and cooled you melt your chocolate bar. I used a Double Chocolate Melting Bar from Gharardelli. You can use a double broiler or make your own using a metal or oven safe glass bowl. You dipped one half of the cookie in the chocolate and place it on wax or parchment paper. You can also just drizzle the cookie with the chocolate or leave them undipped. Before you place them on the wax paper you rool them in chopped paenuts. You can chop your own or buy them chopped at the store. Leave them on the wax paper until you can peel them off without any of the chocolate sticking so about 45 min. The drizzled dry much faster. They are a beautiful cookie that taste wonderful. This is a way to make your cookies gormet. I hope you enjoy them.

THE PIG CAKE!!

This cake was amazingly fun to make! I had a blast doing it. I was a cream cheese pound cake and a chocolate cake. The lags and snout were made from cup cakes and the rest is history! This cake had so many things that I just loved about it. I hope you all like it as well as I did. I hope that Karen liked it that much too. These pictures are also thanks to Rikki. I will have more to post in a couple of days.
