waffles!!!

Okay, so I finally got a REAL waffle maker yesterday!! It's the Bella Kitchen Belgian waffle maker, and I gotta say, after it's first use this morning, i'm liking it alot!! I used their included recipe for basic buttermilk waffles. After lifting the lid, the were golden, puffy and came out intact(which had been a problem for me in the past) I made some chocolate chip ones for the boys which went over very well with them...hello chocolate!!?? Anyways..I was so inspired by my new beautiful waffles, that I also made a brown sugar butter and mashed banana syrup. DIVINE!!! i plan on going into a sugar coma momentarily!! So i'm extremely happy about that Bella...maybe i'll name my spatula Edward;)

black fondant!!!

Okay, so I was asked to make a baby shower cake..with black fondant!!! WHAT?? I asked around to my cake peeps and was told good luck...well, let's just say that tonite, i did a practice recipe, and it turned out. It tastes pretty good too, which is a bonus. Of course I need to give credit where credit is due. It's the True black mmf recipe from Cake Central.
So now back to watching Bachelor...who will Jake send home? Is Ali really coming back????? I think Vienna, and i'm sorry to say Tenley aren't gonna make it...why do people go on this show??? How can you find true love when he keeps saying he's in love with all 3...I for one am not secure enough to be in that kind of competition!!
good luck ladies

So having a 1 year old and 3 year old, my definition of a successful dinner has changed. While wiping the table off I noticed that there wasn't alot on there, and even more to my suprise the chairs were still clean!!! And the floor, only the same stuff that was there from breakfast and lunch. Woohoo, VICTORY!!!! (only the 3rd time I have made this same meal, and the 2 previous times, neither would hardly touch it) V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!!! You know it's the little things....
