Kitchen Successes

Last week, I decided to try out some things I found on pinterest. I drove to the store, got the needed supplies and then proceeded to turn my little kitchen into a disaster zone. When all the flour settled, I had successfully made a loaf of french bread, pizza and frozen peppermint cheesecake. It all tasted fantastic!

Pretzels

You know how sometimes you just crave those awesome mall pretzels? Well, last month I found a recipe and I can make them at home. They are pretty tasty!  And I'm craving them now - I guess this will be on my "to do" list over the next couple days!

Deliciousness!

I have been busy baking things over the past week. Some things I found on pinterest, some are recipes I have had for years. Love spending days were the weather is crappy baking up goodies. I didn't take pictures of everything but here are 2 of the standouts!

On the top is my attempt at "Dr Seuss cookies" - tasted just like sugar cookies but I didn't quite get the swirl effect. On the bottom are my northwoods cutouts - notice the porcupine!!

Cinnamon rolls from scratch for dinner - AMAZING!

Cupcakes!

I have been spending quite a bit of time on pinterest the past couple weeks and one thing that keeps popping up are owl cupcakes. One of my friends even made them. But, I think owls are overrated so I challenged myself to make falcon cupcakes. I tried to make them as kestrel like as possible using various candies. All in all I think they turned out all right and they taste fantastic! :)
