Frosting ease with Frost Eaze

 Found this nifty little gadget

on the Cake aisle.

oh fun.

I wanted to use it to decorate 

the little cakes 

from the silicone molds. 

It worked just like I had hoped.

 Heat up frosting slightly,

pour into squeezy bottle,

cool a bit,

Frost!

It's worth it for projects like this, 

but I can't see using it for

frosting whole cupcakes.

Not enough frosting.

You'd be refilling it every two cupcakes!

I wasn't over the mOOn
about my overall finished product,
due to lack of practice with
something like this,
but I gave my Self some
wiggle room by saying'
"they're only 1st graders; they won't notice"

Like the Silicone Molds, I will be using the Frost Eaze again.

It also comes with two extra tips for variety.

I wonder how it would work for filling cupcakes?

I've been wanting to master the Frosting Bag

and this is a fun way to get incentive!

Peach Cobbler.....it's peachy!

I love Peaches.

I love Peach Cobbler even more.

 

I picked up these beauties with

the intention of making a pie,

but found this recipe instead.

PeaCh CoBBLer recipe

Seeing as I had 4 Peaches,

I doubled the recipe.

I did make some changes though,

especially with the Sugar.

4 large peaches, peeled and sliced

1 1/2 cups sugar

plus 1/4 cup sugar

1 cup butter, melted

2cup all-purpose flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

1 1/2 cups milk

I started making the recipe 

and when I realized that doubling 

made it 3 cups of Sugar,

my teeth kind of screeched to a halt!

So I put the 1 1/2 cups with

the fresh Peach slices,

and used the 1/4 cup 

in the flour mixture.

I also added Cinnamon,

cause I LOVE Cinnamon.

I  added Freshly ground Nutmeg.

After using it in Oatmeal cookies,

I'll never go back to bottled Nutmeg.

Yum.

Use a 9 x 11 dish.

I followed the directions as followed
for the rest of the recipe.

This is one of the best Cobblers,

I have ever tasted, even though,

I overcooked it about 5 minutes

(next time I'll keep it between 40 and 45 minutes}

The cobbler bread is fantastic.

It's in between a Biscuit and Cake,

the perfect compliment to 

firm fresh Peaches.

Next time, 

I think I might cut back 

on the Sugar a bit more,

and possibly the Butter, by 1/2 (4 tbls).

I would also recommend

when baking to put on a cookie sheet. 

So, if you have some fresh Peaches,

or any other fruit for that matter,

I highly recommend trying this recipe.

It's peachy keen!

SwEEt PoTaTo Fries

 We LoVe these!

Actually, 

we just had them 

for the first 

time recently.

Store bought, of course.

Decided to make our own.

and conveniently,

I had some Sweet Potatoes

that were in dire need of use.

I rinsed and peeled them,

and because we prefer wedges

tried using the AppLe Slicer..

ehhhh, eh~eh.

No go, Figaro.

It's a lot easier to just 

slice them with a verra sharp knife.

Drizzle Oil of Olive,

enough for a light coating,

toss around for a bit,

then add some tasty spices.

I had 3 large sweet potatoes,

I used 
*************

1tsp Salt

1tsp PePPer

1tsp Garlic Powder

1tsp PaPriKa

Sprinkle over fries,
toss around some more
until evenly coated.

The seasoning ended up being

just right for us.

As with any recipe,

try and then adjust.

I baked them at *450

on a cookie sheet 
for 30 minutes.

Again,

you can adjust to your

preference of doneness

but this worked out really well.

mmm mmm, ya'll...

these were Delish!

They didn't take long at all;
The Womb Fruits loved them,
and they are a healthy alternative
to fried fries.

Enjoy!

 

Duncan Hines Flavor Creations ~ Mocha

Here we are with another installment of
NaMe  that FLaVoR!

That would be Mocha, for $500 BoB...


I would put this one around the top.
It's one of the better flavors,
and it definitely has that CoFFee thing goin on.

Since The Turkish Mother and The SiSter Married to the Brother 

have birthdays, on the same EXACT day 

{for real, the Nerve!}

 this was the perfect opportunity to try this out. 

AND,

not only try out the new Flavor,

but the

SQUARE

CupCaKe pan...

Hells Yeah!

Square CupCakes.

 Take that all you Nerd NaySayers!

 Dinos LoVe them too.

Yes, I like this Flavor.

It's definitely in the Top 3.

The Familia really liked them too.

Smashing!

 

Brown Sugar cOokies

When making the Oatmeal coOkies
a week ago,
The BabyGirl asked
if they had Brown Sugar cookies,
and we found out,
yes, yes they do.




So we made them.
It's another simple recipe, and quite tasty in a subtle way.
It definitely tastes like a sugar cookie, with a hint of snickerdoodle.
Dark Brown sugar is used in this recipe
and I thought it would have had a heavier taste,
maybe similar, in a loose way, to molasses.
It's perfect with coffee, I know that.

Since we've started making our own cookies,
the Womb Fruits hardly touch the store bought stuff.

This is the recipe we used.

We rolled out balls of dough 

and then gently flattened them,

instead of spoOnfull drops.

Next time, I'm also going to double the Spices and see how that tastes.
