secret crafts and not-secret ice cream


I have a few very cute projects going on right now; but I cannot show any of them online because they are all baby gifts.
So- in the meantime, I thought I'd share Banana Chocolate Ice Cream!
In my food processor, I put 4 or 5 frozen bananas (broken into pieces), 2-3 TBSP of Cocoa mix and 2-3 cups of skim milk. First I pulse the food processor and then start to run it, Once it is mixed nice and creamy, put into bowls and enjoy right away! It is creamy like soft serve!
Once I put in chocolate chips at the end. Most of the family loved the texture and taste but Isaiah thought there was dirt in it, so I haven't made it that way again.

Diaper Cover Give-a-way!



I made these while I was pregnant with Isaiah. But I waited too long to use them and now they are too small! Ohh no!

My mistake can be your fortune:) Become a follower and leave me a comment if you want to win these!

Sprite Cake

I was visiting my mom last week and she mentioned she had a recipe for Red Pop cake. I was thinking that would be a great idea for Aiden's birthday. But when I mentioned it to him, he asked if there was such thing as Sprite Cake. So I went to the internet and there sure is. There were many recipes, but many were just adding Sprite to a cake mix. That just isn't baking as far as I'm concerned. I'm not a fan of assembly cooking.
I went with this recipe from Cooks.com. It was basically a pound cake but with Sprite and lemon extract and cooked in a bundt cake pan.

That got me thinking about what a funny word Bundt is. So I looked it up. No surprise that it is a German word. "The German word bund in bundkuchen originated either from bundling or wrapping the cake's dough around the pan's center hole or because a bund is a gathering of people". Interesting.

I love bundt cakes anyway and I often cake cakes in a bundt pan. The only issue is that they often take longer to bake. This cake took two hours to bake! I was starting to stress if it was ever going to be done.

Everyone at Aiden's birthday party today agreed that Sprite Cake is tasty! xoxo
