It's been a while since I've been here on my blog. I've been cooking up a storm, and though I'm not responsible for Sandy, my kitchen over the weekend looked like it took a direct hit!!
My oldest turned 20!!! Unbelievable!!
We entertained friends Friday night and had lobster with potato salad and cole slaw that I made with the potatoes, cabbage and carrots I grew! It is so satisfying when I can run to the barn and grab a few fresh vegetables and make something. I need to catalog those times and remember them when hard work begins in the spring!
So with all the talk of Sandy and 7 teenagers in the house, I set to work cooking!
I made these homemade marshmallows! It was the first time I ever made these and they were a hit!!
Acelia had requested more for her hot chocolate! Maybe I'll surprise her and make peppermint ones!
I absolutely love "Life Beautiful" magazine and this month there was a big article on a lovely woman who bakes cakes for people and events. She doesn't do it for money but because she loves to! I made Dean this Red Velvet cake for his birthday from scratch!
Saturday morning, I made these Starbucks Pumpkin muffins, I'll be posting the recipe soon! Perfect before everyone left to go hunting. I was able to take a short break and have a cup of tea and read my favorite blogs!
Next up on the cooking list was this cranberry apple crisp! Not too sweet! Just perfect!
I also made chili , (using the meat from Acelia's deer) and some cornbread! We were well stocked on food and sweets if we lost power during Sandy. We did lose power, but only for a couple of hours.
