Mug Cakes

I've always wanted to try a mug cake. Who doesn't love cake? A cake that takes literally 5 minutes is awesome. I saw this recipe on THIS BLOG and knew I had to try it. I made these for my husband and I last night after dinner and I really liked it. I hope you'll give it a try ; )

Homemade Granola & Peppermint Patties

This weekend I was bound and detemined to bake. It's been so long with the crazniess we've had this new year, that I told myself, no matter what I'm going to bake. Baking is not only a big passion of mine, but also therapy. I love it. So every since Amanda at I am Baker posted a recipe for Peppermint patties, I knew I had to try this recipe. So friday night I finally had all of the ingredients and decided to whip some up. Warning, they do take a little bit of time. Don't make them in a time crunch. I made some and let them sit while my husbie and I watched a movie. As soon as the time went off, I ran in the kitchen grabbed one, took a bite, and sighed.."That's where it is". My husbie said what? I said you have to try these. He tried them and at first he wasn't that into them, he thought they were a little too sweet. Little did he know, they become addicting. A little later that night I heard some wax paper rattling and I asked him what he was doing and he said, Man, these are SO good! (: So I definitely reccomend trying this recipe.

Saturday morning we woke up early and I was once again in the baking mood. I made some strawberry cheesecake muffins for breakfast. Then, I had been eye balling Brown Eye'd Baker's recipe for Homemade Granola Mix. I'm such a big granola girl and had always wanted to try my own recipe. When she posted this post Needless to say, I definietly suggest you try it (:

Have a fabulous week (:
