April showers… all I can say is, YAY! We are having wonderful rain today and I’m so thankful for it. My garden and yard are grateful also 🙂 Oh how I love the arrival of spring, and the showers we are getting are just a glorious reminder. Today I am sharing a fun treat the kids and I made to celebrate. Continue reading “Spring Brownies”
Hello, my name is Johanna and I love bread. Yep, bread is my #2 weakness when it comes to food. Chocolate of course being my #1 🙂 Not much makes my mouth water and tummy growl like the smell of freshly baked bread. I love the way it makes my house smell like a bakery and the sweet yeasty taste. I even told my running partner/amazing friend that I should get a running shirt that says, “I run because I love carbs.” All this just so you know, because I love bread so much I’m not just giving you any old bread recipe… no this is my favorite bread recipe that I make almost weekly! Yep, there are not words good enough for how scrumptious and easy this bread is. Continue reading “Fresh Bread”
Today is Dr. Seuss’ birthday! We did some reading in his honor, watched a Dr. Seuss movie, had a yummy Dr. Seuss inspired meal for dinner, and gave the kids a green Oobleck inspired bath 🙂
I found a recipe for an Oreo cookie cake on Pinterest that looked amazing! I started reading the recipe because I showed it to my mother-in-law and she said I should make it. She is watching my kiddos tonight so my boyfriend (husband) and I can go out on a date. So I decided it was the perfect chance to make it as a thank you. I changed the recipe some to make it easier to make. A here it is changed and just as tasty 🙂
I love soft pretzels! The yummy soft pretzels you get at the mall… I love the soft buttery salty ones, and the soft buttery cinnamon sugary ones. Well I have a recipe for some that are so good I just had to share.
We got beautiful snow today in Oklahoma! We woke up to it coming down and it still is going steady. I have such happy kids and a very happy husband (he is from New York and LOVES snow). We went out in it for a little while today and lots of giggle and laughs later came inside to warm back up. This morning I put out a plastic bowl and let it catch snow all morning, for… Continue reading “Rainbow Snow Cream”
Have you ever gone to the pantry looking for powdered sugar while baking and you were out? OK, so as a cake baker it probably does happen to me a bit more often than other people but it happens! Ever wonder if there was a substitute for powdered sugar or a way to make some yourself? Well… today I’m going to show you how to make it at home! With only one ingredient!
I have an amazing friend who just finished her Master’s degree and has her graduation ceremony today. I wanted to do something nice for her as a congratulations and she loves chocolate and peanut butter. In fact, I’m to blame for her recent addiction to Reese’s hearts over the valentine season. So I decided on my quick peanut butter pie that any chocolate peanut butter lover would enjoy.
My Crazy Blessed Life!
