Before They Melt Away

Check out these cute snowmen before they melt away. . .









Miss A and I made them today and they melted away in our bellies! They are just 3 big marshmallows on a stick covered in white chocolate. We used M & M's for the buttons and mini chocolate chips for the faces. We found the "recipe" here and they look much neater then ours, but I am sure they all tasted the same.

The Year of the Ox

Happy Chinese New Year! Every year we host a Chinese New Year dinner. I spend the day before in the kitchen rolling egg rolls and these tiny little cabbages that go into soup. They consist of blanched cabbage with a ground pork mix in the middle tied up with a blanched green onion. Such simple ingredients . . . so time consuming. . . such great flavors and presentation.

Baking Challenged

Let's just get it out now - I am baking challenged. I will bake if I have to, I would rather not though. So with that being said, this morning Miss A asked to make cookies. So I quickly thought how can I get out of this one. It is Christmas. So I looked in the pantry found some graham cracker cookies covered in chocolate, got my frosting out of the can and this is what we came up with and she LOVED them. I am sure at some point in time I saw these in a magazine and put it in my memory bank.
