A Little More Snow!

Cupcake Brownies

This is the sweet treat that I made for Sara Frances' party. I really love to eat these!

To make cupcake brownines I use a boxed brownie mix. 1 box makes about 1 dozen of these. Spoon the mixed batter into paper-lined muffin pans, filling each cup two-thirds full. Bake at 325 degrees for around 20 minutes until done.

This is the chocolate frosting I like to use:

Chocolate Frosting

1 (16 oz.) package powdered sugar, sifted

1/2 cup milk (add milk gradually, sometimes 1/2 cup is too much)

1/4 cup butter, softened

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa

Beat all ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.

Sara Frances' Valentine Party

Both girls had fun parties at school yesterday. We helped with Sara Frances' at Rankin. We ate snacks and played Valentine bingo!

above are Meri Alan and Mary Carson

below are Sally Grace and Sara Frances

Valentines!

The girls have been working on their Valentines. Meri Alan picked out Wizards of Waverly Place and Sara Frances picked out Harry Potter. She's giving this Hermione one to herself!

Pizza Pinwheels

I saw this recipe on another blog and have been wanting to try it. They were quite yummy and everybody at my house ate this which is rare!

First unroll a can of crescent rolls, then pinch the seams together. Pinching the seams is important. I think I'll do a better job of that next time and my pinwheels will look a little neater.

Spread some sauce on top.

Top with pepperoni.

Sprinkle with mozzarella.

Then you roll them up.

Cut the roll into 4 equal pieces.

Place on a baking sheet.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes.
Yum!

Crock Pot Pulled Pork Barbecue

Crock Pot Pulled Pork Barbecue

1-1/2 - 2 lbs. boneless pork top loin
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup Coke or Dr. Pepper ( I used diet)
1 cup barbecue sauce

Combine all ingredients in a crock pot. Cook covered on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 5-6 hours or until meat is very tender. One hour before serving, take 2 forks and pull the pork apart. It should be very tender by this time and just fall apart as you separate. Cook for the remaining hour on low setting. Makes 8 servings.

I got this recipe from Granna Judy's blog and it so yummy. We had it yesterday and ate too much of it! :) Meri Alan even ate it because she watched me pour Dr. Pepper in it.
