Milkshake, Snow, & Cake


My St. Patty's Day
Cake made from scratch
Snow on March 13th


If you look closely you will see that
this cup is made from corn.








I'm sorry that I haven't posted in awhile, but I have been battling a headache for the last three weeks that put me under the weather. To be honest, all I felt like doing was staying in bed and watching tv along with crying. But, I didn't, because someone has to go to work!
I have to say that for the last couple of months I have been craving a milkshake. Knowing that I couldn't have just any old one really made that craving worse. Then finally it dawned on me that I could go down to Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop. Since I can eat their ice cream, I can have their shakes. Rachel agreed to go with me and Friday night after work we went. When I was handed the cup, Rachel and I just laughed because it is a corn-based cup and it states it right there for all to see. What are the odds?
Saturday morning I woke up to snow covering the ground. I had to take a picture and show all of you because it was unbelievable. It melted fairly quickly, but was still pretty. We had a family dinner Saturday night and I was to take a cake. I really wanted one that I could eat, so I got online and found one with acceptable ingredients. I made it with spelt flour and then dyed it green. I also found a great frosting recipe using whipping cream instead of powdered sugar. It tasted fantastic and I was so excited to know that I can have cake!
