No better way to start the new year for me - cooking and baking. This is Chocolate Snacking Cake. Pretty Yummy - a little dry, I won't cook so long next time.
Dave forgot to get the chocolate chips, but I found some left over Christmas candy.
So yummy and clean up is a breeze.
I have baked in it every week.
I found another yummy candle - "Glazed Doughnuts"
Soup - Chicken Noodle - a winner!
Trying to perfect Dave's favorite soup - Gumbo?
You must make a Roux - a little time consuming and boring - Just stir oil and flour together for about 20 minutes over medium heat. Must be a red brown color.
Dave said it was the best.
This is Nigella Lawson's recipe for cupcakes. Every thing is mixed in the food processor - different in baking, but I really liked it. Very easy.
Fresh out of the oven.
Making Royal Icing.
Add fresh lemon juice.
Very shiny, pretty frosting and it tasted great. Mine was a little too thin.
Very good no matter what.
Emmy and Grandpa gave them a plus.
I have tried to stay away from the after Christmas sales, but I went to Pier One just the other day and found this cute cupcake ornament.
Oh, I did get a "Skinny Christmas Tree" after Christmas from Cracker Barrell - They held one for me in a store that we went in on our way to St. Louis. YEAH! - A great buy.

Dusted with powder sugar. I love this stuff - a little messy but so pretty.
Some cake squares in a cute glass container I found at Hobby Lobby out west. I love that store! Too bad we don't have one in Richmond.
This cool roaster I got not long ago. I kept it in the box, trying to decide if I should keep it or not. But, I am glad I decided to keep it. It makes roast chicken just like at the super market but better. You can cook turkey, kabobs, veggies and much more. I think it was a good investment.
