Pinning has been going on...


Sorry Its been a while since my last post but I promise you I have been marking off some of my "Pins".  And here is the list of them ready set GO....

First here is a picture of the baby beanie I crocheted..



Second up we have some very yummy Pizza balls I saw on Pintrest and can I just say they are a huge hit! You can find the recipe here. Note: when making them the thinner the dough around the stuffings the better! :) We also made some homemade pizza sauce and dipped them in that so they were not dry. Two Thumbs Up!! So to make these yummy finger foods :
You need your favorite pizza dough, cheese, and desired fillings.
Take a small ball of your dough and flatten out then place fillings and cheese chunk in the middle of dough bring the dough around the fillings and pinch it shut place seam side down in a greased pan. Rub olive oil on the tops then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 for 12 min or until light brown on top.



Third I saw something similar to this bow on pintrest but didn't actually pin it and just made it up as I went. It turned out Ok but I think I might try making it a little smaller next time.





Last these are not a pin just some fun super yummy cup cakes I made. This frosting is so yummy and fluffy and perfect for decorating. Remember the Monster cake? This is the recipe I used for his hair. It is





Butter cream frosting
Note: I know this is not a true butter cream recipe but it is great for decorating because it keeps its shape!
1 cup Crisco
1 stick butter
1tsp Meringue powder
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp Vanilla
2 lb powdered sugar
Food coloring of choice (optional)

First cream crisco, butter, and Meringue together. Then add milk and sugar mix for 3 min or so until it gets nice and fluffy. Then add vanilla and food coloring. If it is to stiff to work with add more milk 1 tsp at a time until you get desired consistency!

Enjoy and Happy Holidays
