Another snow day... what to do?



Make cupcakes! Alanya has been dying to make cupcakes and decorate them all by herself without me interfering, or telling her how to do it. (For those of you who know me you know how difficult that is!) I figured a snow day was the perfect day. We just put them in the oven, and I have a can of chocolate frosting taking up space in the pantry. She and Ben have been tossing around ideas "for toppings" - sounds like they are making a pizza!

Ben's choice for baking today was a recipe out of his Paula Deen's My First Cookbook that he got for his birthday. After much pondering, he settled on homemade pretzels with either salt or cinnamon sugar. He said he wants to try both flavors. His dough is rising and we should be getting the pretzels going right about when the cupcakes come out.

I also have dinner going already... a pot roast with veggies in the crockpot. A perfect day for it. Will post our results later today!
