Carrot Day

 We decided to get some carrots for baby Z to try...
turns out the unprocessed whole carrots only come in
a 3lb size quantity
 
So after using 2 carrots to make her food... 
 
there were enough carrots left to cut up to munch on...
 But that was not the end of the carrots
so decided to make a carrot cake
or cupcakes....


Not enough room in the oven so tried making the rest in the toaster oven
It came out great!
And there were too many for just two mouths
so froze half
 

And made some cream cheese frosting
for the rest
YUMMY!

Food update

During one of my many travels I came across this cool gadget
it is an indicator that tells you how done the eggs are :)
 Color changes with time and temperature
Cool ayeee!

 All baked...
 TADA...
 Looked really pretty with its layers...

Making Kringla...

Ok so I thought I had posted this...but I did not...

the easiest cookies I have ever made...

I tried numerous shapes...






 So much fun....made a ton of cookies
that did not last as long...

My cookie gift boxes...

A fun experience making some yummy cookies...

Home alone

Grant had to take a trip for work so I...cooked some shrimp. 
Yummy as usual :)
 A colleague at work gave me a couple of zucchini's from her garden. 
And I got everything ready to  make a chocolate zucchini cake.
But ran out of time so will have to get some baking in this weekend.
 

 I also tried out some paint colors on the primed bedroom wall upstairs :)
 I took these pics while the paints were still wet will take some more once they are completely dry.
They look a little different when they dry and in different lights.
Will have to see how it looks when the sun sets. 
You should be able to click on these pics to get a better view of the colors.
 The long horizontal strip on the top is the main color throughout the house. 
The the darker gray and the light green on the right are also colors from the first floor.
Oh and the dark brown color of the bottom is the same color we used to paint
squares in our dining area. Looks different here doesn't it?
  We would like to carry them onto the second level.
The rest are new colors the beige and tans have been picked just for the three bedrooms.
I love picking and trying out new paint colors....its sooo FUN!
 I think I have my favorites will have to wait till tomorrow to see what Grant thinks...

What do you'll think?
