How come when I’m sick I crave unhealthy food? Sinus infection? I know it’s serious when I am unable to control the chocolate and peanut butter cravings. It’s a migrain if I crave salty, greasy food, like deep dish pepperoni pizza.
It would make more sense to me to crave veggies and fruits and other healthy foods. Is it just me?
It’s Austin’s 2nd birthday today, and we celebrated with a trip to Chick-fil-a and their indoor, air-conditioned play place! I also made cupcakes. The party is Saturday, and we’ll be having chocolate and hot dogs and all kinds of yummy crap, so I wanted someone a bit lighter. Angel food cake is my favorite, so that’s what we had. It was my first attempt at angel food cupcakes though, and I wasn’t prepared for the size! They’re ginormous! The best part: 1/12 of the recipe is a serving. A 140 calorie serving (I know! AMAZING!) I made 12 small cupcakes and 3 huge ones. The kids each ate 1.5 small ones. It was nice to be able to say yes when they asked for seconds!

I am loving Little Miss Momma right now. And the tutorials!
LMM will teach you to make these!
Mr freezy’s were as long as yard sticks when I was a kid. And they were a quarter. Glad there is still a version around that I can share with my kids.
Hopefully this means I won’t have to go shopping for the next few weeks.

And I’ve got lemon basil that I planted last year popping up in my tomatoes and lettuce. Bonus!
Austin loves to color after dinner. Tonight I joined him, finally trying out the colored pencils I bought at the beginning of the year. Not sure if there is anything more polar opposite to painting than pencils when it comes to filling in space (painting wins) and details (pencils all the way.) This got me thinking about mixing medias…
1) chop up potatoes into bite size pieces
2) put in large glass dish
3) drizzle w olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme
4) cook in your microwave on “potato” setting
Optional: if you want them crispy, transfer to a skillet and brown over high heat for a few minutes, turning often.
Enjoy!
