Truffles!

Last week my sister finally explained Pinterest, and I am hooked.

I have always been kinda crafty and I like to sew but lacked inspiration.  In less than two weeks I have completed 5+ projects I found on Pinterest.

Today I'm posting my Truffles.

Candy Cane Peppermint Chocolate Truffles

3 cups Chocolate Chips, melted
1 8oz package Cream Cheese, softened
3 cups Powdered Sugar
2 tsp Peppermint Extract
6 Candy Canes, crushed

Melt the chocolate on low heat.  Add peppermint extract.

Blend cream cheese and suger until smooth.

Stir chocolate into cream cheese/sugar blend.

Place in fridge for about an hour, take out and form balls, roll balls in crushed candy canes.  I crushed mine in my Pampered Chef Chopper and it worked great.

I popped them back in the fridge to have them set.


Peanut Butter Chocolate Truffles

1 cup Chocolate Chips
2 T Peanut Butter
2 T Coconut Oil
2 cups Powdered Sugar

Microwave chocolate, peanut butter and oil until melted.  Mix with powdered sugar.  Pop in the fridge for 1 hour.  Remove and form balls.  Melt some more peanut butter in the microwave and place in a ziploc bag.  Cut bag and drizzle over truffles.


In both recipes I placed the truffles on parchment paper.

Baking with Samuel

Tonight, Tyrone took Charlotte to run errands, so that left me and Samuel to spend time together.  First we had to clean the kitchen and pick up toys, then it was time to make cookies. Samuel is Ready! Samuel loves cookies and watching me work in the kitchen, so tonight I combined the two to make Snickerdoodles.  I haven't had very good luck making GF Snickerdoodles, they always seemed to run.  One time I improvised and made them in muffin tins, they kinda looked like reverse volcanos.  Thanks to the yummy ones my friend Megan made, I thought I'd give them one more try. I used this recipe from Betty Crocker,  Snickerdoodles , I just modified it with Brown Rice Flour and Xanthan Gum.  I think the Xanthan Gum was key,  I'd been out for a while and finally had some, what a difference.

My Treehouse

I live in a Treehouse, or maybe it just feels like I do.  My mom calls me a former basement dweller.  My husband is a former basement dweller too.  So how did two basement dwellers end up in a treehouse? Our treehouse is a miracle.  When Tyrone and I got engaged we started looking at apartment rents and wondered if we could even afford to get married.  Rents were insanely high and our salaries were pretty low.  So we kinda started to worry but kept looking and then we just stopped.  Fortunately my mom loves a good challenge.  She started looking at houses or condos or anything.  Another thing about my mom, she loves to walk.  She gets bored walking in the same neighborhood so sometimes she'll drive to another and walk there.  View Ridge was one of her favorite places to walk. View Ridge is such a different neighborhood.  There are large homes on the bluff, 1950 ramblers, an apartment building, a church, and our condo. ...

Grocery Shopping

I love to grocery shop! When I was little one of my favorite things was to go grocery shopping with my mom.  I'm not sure why I loved it so much.  Maybe cause I got to spend time with her or cause it was Shopping. My mom home-schooled me until 2nd grade so there was lots of grocery shopping days.  I remember starting school and feeling left out that my sister got to go grocery shopping and I didn't.  Whenever Mom would pick me up from school after grocery shopping I would feel so left out.  Fortunately, I was home-schooled again in 5th & 6th grade.  Grocery shopping was back. My mom used my interests to guide my lesson plans, so she focused some of my projects around the grocery store.  I learned how to check the price per pound to see which size was the better deal.  We studied sugar content in cereal and compared it to the price of the cereal.  In the 7th grade I used the cereal data for my science project, I think I got a blue ri...
