New Cake Recipe

Grandma Debbie has the best recipes and fun ones as well. She sent me an email with this recipe and I was a bit skeptical to try it. While they were visiting she made some for us after we put the kids to bed and we all gobbled them up. I couldn't believe I could have cake in 1 minute and it taste delicious. Now when I am craving cake I can make a mini serving rather than the whole cake. It seems that when I make a whole cake I end up eating most of it and then try blaming it on the kids and Rob. No more cake blaming will be going on in this house. She made one for Mason the next morning and he was excited!

CSA

We joined a CSA, Community Supported Agriculture, here in Omaha and had our first vegetable pick up this week. I wanted to start a garden, but we have a bunny problem along with a time commitment problem on my part. I didn't find it worth the hassle this year, but maybe I will hire a bunny hit man so I can plant one next year. I am really excited about the CSA. We have the option to go out to the farm and volunteer if we want but no obligation and they deliver it to our local farmers market every weekend of the next 20 weeks. We won't know what we are getting until the pick up, we are at the mercy of Mother Nature. We got some bok choy, radishes, and lettuce. I had never heard of bok choy, but have found a yummy salad that we have been enjoying with it. We are also getting our eggs fresh every other week. Did you know when you get your eggs from the grocery store they are already 6-8 months old? I am not sure if that is true and plan to look it up. I could be starting a rumor or make you start thinking about the eggs you buy.
Check out the farm aka the Farmily.
