St. Patrick's Day Treats!

Happy Sunday! Sundays here mean family dinner. We had traditional corned beef and cabbage of course with some roasted red potatoes with butter and parsley.
Earlier Seth and I made some cupcakes with some special St. Patty's Day flavor.
They were pretty yummy. Sent some home with my niece and her boyfriend and shared a few with our favorite neighbors too. The little tag was made with some leftover items from our last St. Patrick's Day project.

A Blustery Crumble. Sunday, October 24th, 2010

After a cold, rainy day of shopping it was time for something warm and sweet. A homemade apple crumble was just the thing to top off our Sunday family dinner. After peeling and slicing the apples, I added some sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice to the apples, tossed in a little flour and let it set for a bit. For the topping I stirred together some brown sugar, oats, a bit of flour and cut in some butter until crumbly. Freshly toasted almonds added the final touch. ~Sara~

Today, in the spirit of Halloween, I decided to make cupcakes. I frosted them with a tip and decorated them with some sprinkles. They looked good enough to eat!

Monday, October 18th, 2010. Hot Chocolate from Scratch.

I was looking for a quick and easy dessert for tonite and once again the whipping cream was calling to me.
Here is the recipe:
Hot Chocolate
2 oz unsweetened baker's chocolate (finely chopped)
1/4 sugar
4 cups of milk (I used 1%)

Whisk ingredients together over medium heat until chocolate is melted.

Whipped Cream
1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream
pinch of sugar

Whisk or beat ingredients together.
