Homemade SpongeBob Squarepants Cake

This was for my son Green's 3rd birthday and it was my first attempt at making a character cake. The decorations and designs were all made using only icing. He was extremely happy!

Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Another great recipe I found here http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cups/Detail.aspx

This was a huge for the kids! Very simple and fun!

Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits

Found this great recipe here http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chef-Johns-Buttermilk-Biscuits/Detail.aspx

Although the taste is fabulous, you do have to be extra careful when forming the circles, for they can turn out to be a little uneven like mine did...Practice makes perfect! :)

Homemade Zucchini Bread

Found this recipe here http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Moms-Zucchini-Bread/Detail.aspx

Very easy and healthy. I did some variations with it by substituting zucchini for sweet potato or even carrots! Very delicious in the morning! Try it! :-)

Spiral Apple Dumplings

I'm always searching for recipes online. It's somewhat of an addiction as well as looking for ways to sneak in fruits and veggies so my kids would eat them. For this recipe I was on the "Better Homes and Gardens" website, typed in apples in the search box, and decided on making this one since I already had the all the ingredients on hand and lots and lots of apples which I'm trying get rid of before they become rotten.....So here's the link to the recipe enjoy!http://www.bhg.com/recipe/breads/spiral-apple-dumplings/

Weather Chart

 

The one in the photo above is my version of the chart.

 

 

This one I found on pinterest. It's the original version. I happened to come across this blog in which the blogger explains how the original creator of this weather chart has no blog of her own (not sure if she does now a year later), but go ahead over there and check it out. The blogger even has her own version. Mine isn't so professionally made as theirs are but I just really like the whole idea of it. The kids helped out too by coloring it using markers. Mine has 2 blank spaces since where I live we don't get any snow or much storms....just rain. So I didn't know what to put there and decided to leave them blank. Here's the link to that blog and a photo of her version of the weather chart: http://rowdyinroom300.blogspot.com/2012/07/weather-chart.html
