What is it about...

...being snowed in that makes a person want to bake? I've been trying to do some other things but I've just felt the need to bake! Banana nut muffins are in the oven right now.  Monday it was toffee crunch.  Yesterday, was Pistachio Cake... a recipe I found at http://www.thepioneerwoman.com/ .

By mistake, I bought the smaller box of pudding when it calls for the 4 oz size, but I didn't let that stop me from making it....still tasted so yummy.  The pioneer woman suggested topping with a chocolate ganache so of course I just had to do that......

Mmm...Mmm...a keeper recipe for sure. And so simple.

Thanks pioneer woman.

So snowed in another day. Still not sure about tomorrow.  Snow plows have finally been down our road but that doesn't mean it's clear as I'm sure it's still doing some drifting not to mention the ice that's beneath all this snow.

Well, on to do something productive....

Enjoy your day!

Happy New Year.....

Well, we are five days in to this new year of 2011....How's it going for you so far? 

I just wanted to share with you a couple of new cookbooks....my son got me this new Paula Deen cookbook as part of my Christmas and I received a gift card from a friend so I used it to get The Pioneer Woman Cookbook (Ree Drummond)! I can sit down and read on both like a regular book....however, I think I gain weight each time I read over a recipe! OMGosh! Can't wait to have some family home to try out some of these wonderful sounding dishes from both books! 

Time to get busy...Enjoy your day!
