Cake Balls

I first had a bite of one of these at a scout fundraiser. All it took was one bite and I was hooked. My sister and I made these for Mother's Day. They were amazing. I didn't take any pictures but I do have the link where I found how to make them along with a few suggestions. The link is www.bakerella.com/red-velvet-cake-balls/
My suggestions:
Use any cake mix but, strawberry cake with white chocolate was amazing!
Do not freeze them, just let them chill in the fridge.
You can also make them into suckers by putting sticks in the balls while they are chilling.
Also you can decorate them to make them look really cute.

Slacker

Wow! I really need to get updating this blog. But, I do have a valid excuse for once. I did just have a baby and I am trying to get ready to move. So I'll get around to posting as soon as I can.

Quiet Book

For my son's second birthday I made him a quiet book. Here is a quick look at the pages I have made. I plan on adding pages to it in the future and will post those pages as I get them accomplished.

The cover is made out of camouflaged duck cloth

A pig, a duck, and a cow finger puppets hiding in the barn. There's also a chicken hiding in the top window.

This page was inspired by the song. He loves to have me sing this song to him so I made it into a quiet book page

I had to do a clock page. Anyone who knows my son cannot doubt that.

I like to hide a treat in Daddy's wallet so he's excited to look through it

This page is perfect for the cars and the Thomas train he likes to bring to church with him

Button flowers I thought would be a great way for him to work on his buttoning skills

Stroganoff

I realize there are many variations on stroganoff, but this is the one I grew up with and is by far still my favorite.


1 lb ground beef
2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 cup Sour Cream
garlic salt



Brown the ground beef. Add sour cream,cream of mushroom soup, garlic salt to taste. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve with rice or noodles.

* Notes: It is the best with rice. You can add a can of mushrooms which I like, my husband and two year old do not.

Opening his quiet book

This year for my son's 2nd birthday I decided I would make him homemade things from me. I made him some pajama pants, a quilt for his bed, blocks, and a quiet book.
