Ok... New Post! I think I should rename my blog "5 Kids and a Golden Retriever" because that is my life in a nutshell. I have had so much fun with this blog, but then life happened.... and my blog didn't! I had two of my babies in this beautiful autumn month and so outside of canning and preserving some food for the winter, I have planned 4 birthday parties.... 2 family and 2 friend parties for each kid. Needless to say, I have spent endless hours in my kitchen and am in need of some time for me! In any event, here are 2 of the things I made that actually got photographed prior to being inhaled and turned into someones..... oh nevermind!PEANUT BUTTER TORTE

Chocolate Chip Cake
My 11 year old daughter has recently developed and interest in and love for baking! She has created lots of nummy things the most recent being a Berry Cobbler, which we neglected to photograph. It looked so delish, that we just devoured it immediately!

Whole Wheat Pancakes with Raspberry and Granola
These pancakes are divine and so guilt free!! There's no oil and you can make it even more guiltfree by using Agave flavored with mapline for your syrup! My daughters and I went on a trip together to St. George, Utah. We went to this cute little spot for breakfast and they served this super nummy pancake... We all fell in love with this great idea and now we can't get enough of it at home!!! Try it, YOU ARE SURE TO FALL IN LOVE... too!!

STRAWBERRY JAM
Ok...I am so, so lazy. And I'm too irresponsible for deadlines! I just realized that...HELLO-O... I can still post my other recipes! So, I haven't been taking any pictures of any of my food lately, I just forget I guess (again with the irresponsibility...I can't help it, it's my nature). My 11 year old daughter, Alyssa made a lovely Berry Cobbler on Sunday, and of course, no pics. I am making it a goal to pay more attention to my blogs! So, I know everyone already does this, but I usually make freezer jam...which I hate! So, I just made cooked strawberry jam!!! It tastes wonderful... not too sweet, not too tart. I love it and the color is out of this world. Red is my favorite color, but this red is one I could live in! The recipe is the cooked jam recipe that comes in the Pectin! I wish I could share a slice of honey whole wheat bread with butter and strawberry jam, with all of you!! Make some...and then I can!!

Daring Bakers :For the Love of Chocolate; Chocolate Valentino
I am 2 days late for posting because of a sudden trip out of town and I am so sad I didn't get to it sooner because this was the most divine Valentines Day treat. As you can see I made it for the whole family, and everyone loved it!! It was so good, I was sad I couldn't post it 2 weeks ago...and now here I am 2 days late. I made my very favorite ice cream from Mr. B's Bistro in New Orleans to go with mine and a lovely raspberry sauce!!
