The Perfect Mother's Day Gift

From my kitchen to yours, Happy Mother's Day!

This morning I enjoyed the BEST gift a mother could EVER receive, my children spent the morning working together to give me a special surprise treat.

There was no fighting, no yelling, they all worked together and encouraged each other. Since the day my oldest son was born I have wanted to watch a 10 minute video clip of their lives as adults just to see how they "turned out" and where I should concentrate more effort. Today my wish was granted! Take a look!



Working as a team. And Look... no tears or yelling!



Reading the recipe all by himself!



The surprise....For the first time in nearly eight years breakfast was made for me!
And pancakes for Pancake Sunday too!

Fairy Fizz and Angel Food Cupcakes!

Wednesday - leprechauns, Thursday - fairies... it’s been a busy week here at our house. My daughter has a fairy tea party book that she absolutely loves so, of course, she has to have her own fairy tea parties. In the book there is a pop out kitchen and in the kitchen is a recipe for the famous and very secret fairy Fizz. If you promise not to tell I’ll share the recipe with you... remember SHHH! Oh, and because it's so secret I can’t share a photo with you, or maybe I forgot to take one?? Hmmm??? One of those. Also because I love you all so much I’ll share a great LOW cal cupcake recipe with you.

• Pineapple Juice (can’t remember what size the container is)
• 2 liter Cherry 7UP
• Cherries

Directions:

• Pour ½ a container of pineapple juice in a punch bowl.
• Add the 7Up

Directions:

• Place the oven rack on its lowest setting and preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Line cupcake tins with paper and set aside.

• Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together until foamy.
• Beat in the granulated sugar 2 tablespoons at a time.

• Beat until stir and glossy.
• Fold the flour mixture in ½ a cup at a time until the flour disappears.
• Divide evenly into the cupcake cups and bake for 15-20 mins or until the cupcakes feel dry and the cake springs back.

Note: I didn’t use the angle food cupcake recipe for our party. It just felt like too many eggs for a fairy party.
