1st Day of Spring

With it being the first day of spring and finally getting some warmer and not rainy weather, I thought it would be a perfect time to make some juice & fruit popcicles to enjoy after a morning of running around and playing outside.  It's the perfect cool down!




They are so simple to make!  We had a some popsicle molds at home, but if you don't, small cups (like bathroom cups) & spoons work perfectly!

We chopped up a bunch of strawberries & Mandarin oranges.  And then Simba (or Elliott) helped me fill the molds and cups with the chopped fruit.







Once that was done, I pour over some juice.  We had some pineapple-orange juice, but use whatever you have.  You can even dilute it with some water by about 25%.




We let them sit in the freezer overnight to get hard.  The perfect after play treat!

Baking Babka

Today I attempted something that I have never made before, Babka! It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be.  I used our family's sweet yeast dough as the base and then added lots of Nutella on the inside. Elliott loved to help mix the dough up and I ended up putting it together and baking it while he (attempted) took a nap.  Here is the link for the recipe:  Babka

Confetti Cookies

I was looking for a quick cooking project to do with Elliott and I forgot about these cookies.  They use cake mix as the base! They are simple to make and I usually have everything on hand.  I usually use jimmies (or sprinkles) instead of the nonpareils.  Elliott went a little heavy with the nonpareils, which is why they look like there are a lot of them in there and started to discolor the cookie.  Enjoy!

Is It Snowing?

Coming from Buffalo, when there is a snow storm or blizzard and you are stuck at home, you bake.  Get out the butter, sugar, & flour, and dust off your mixer.  Today was a perfect day for making cookies! We made Oma's (or my grandmother's) cutout cookie recipe that is the only one I have ever known and used.  It's a buttery, sugar cookie that isn't too sweet.  We use the frosting from the cupcakes & frosting recipe to spread on top. I also found out today that I don't have alot of food coloring left.  Only a few drops of some neon colors.  I will be fixing that with an Amazon order soon.
