I made these Raspberry Jam Muffins for my mom’s birthday last month, and everyone loved them. More like a dessert than a breakfast food.
Our mango trees went crazy this year, and we have lots of mangoes to show for it. This means lots and lots of mango bread, muffins and smoothies. 
I made these Mango Muffins for Kayla’s graduation reception, and they were a hit.
Homemade Yogurt and Granola
October 2, 2008 at 3:00 pm | In Craft Projects, Frugality, Photos, Recipes, S's Posts | 5 CommentsLast week my pen pal Serenity sent me a recipe for homemade granola. I have always wanted to try my hand at making homemade yogurt, so I decided this was the perfect time to try both! I used this recipe (on the right of the page) for the yogurt.
The milk mixture is heating up… then cooling down in the sink.

The granola turned out great! – Ready to eat granola and yogurt
Everyone loved it! The two quarts of yogurt only lasted a few days… I think I’ll be making this quite often in the future!
Creamy Fudge
September 17, 2008 at 8:59 pm | In A's Posts, Photos, Recipes | 4 CommentsLast week, I decided to make some fudge. I used a recipe from Good Housekeeping, and it turned out great.
16 squares (16 ounces) semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 square (1 ounce) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
-
Line 8-inch square baking pan with foil, extending foil above rim of opposite sides.
- In 2-quart saucepan, combine semisweet and unsweetened chocolates and condensed milk. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until chocolates have melted and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes
- Remove saucepan from heat; stir in vanilla and salt. Pour chocolate mixture into prepared pan; spread evenly. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
- Remove fudge from pan by lifting edges of foil. Cut into 8 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 8 pieces. Place pieces between waxed paper in airtight.
For chocolate walnut fudge, prepare as directed but stir in 1 cup of walnuts, coarsely chopped, with vanilla and salt.

Celebrating
April 5, 2008 at 9:55 pm | In Family, Photos, Recipes, S's Posts | 2 CommentsToday my parents celebrated their twenty-second anniversary. We had a special breakfast of Chocolate French Toast in honor of the occasion. The recipe is from Handmaidens of the Shepherd (Thanks!). Mom and Dad also went out to eat tonight by themselves. Anyway, we were able to catch a couple photos of the french toast (before it was all gone), so here they are:
