The holidays are coming and I am excited for all the baking ahead. When I was growing up I was surrounded by all sorts of baking: cookies, cakes and more. I would spend time at my grandmother’s homes and get to try some of the best desserts. The holidays were great times for desserts. Now, I get to make fun and delicious desserts for my family. We love making cookies and cakes and cupcakes. I always loved sugar cookies with frosting on them. My sister still makes them every Christmas. I’ve also done many cookie exchanges with friends and family and the ones I make a usually a pretty big hit.

This time around I was tasked with creating a fun recipe around some M&M’s® Hot Chocolate and Pillsbury™ Funfetti® Holiday Cake Mix. So, my idea was to take those ingredients and also add in another Pillsbury™ Baking cake mix to make some M&M’s® Hot Chocolate Cupcakes. The idea was to swirl the Pillsbury™ Funfetti® Holiday Cake Mix and some Pillsbury™ Dark Chocolate Cake Mix to make the cupcakes look like a swirled cup of Hot Chocolate. I also added the M&M’s® Hot Chocolate candies to the Dark chocolate cake mix and also on top of the frosted cupcake to look like a cup of hot chocolate. I also picked up a gallon of Great Value Milk to wash everything down and some M&M’s® Holiday Milk Chocolate and M&M’s® Holiday Peanut bags so that I could enjoy those later. I also happen to have a link to a coupon where you can Save $1.00 on ANY TWO (2) M&M’s® Chocolate Candies, 8 oz or larger. They are my favorite candy.

Eva’s New Appreciation for Sushi

Eva's got a taste for Sushi

Allison and I had Marriage Prep today and so once we went to Church and dropped the kids off with my parents we went for breakfast, just the two of us. We then spent the day with some engaged couples who are getting ready to get married. It was a nice day and the couples that we had were very nice.

After the prep class we picked up the kids and took them to House of Fortune. Eva has decided that she is getting adventurous with her meal choices while at House of Fortune. She tried out some of our sushi during out last trip and this time picked out some sushi herself for this trip. We are glad that she is branching out and enjoying new tastes.
