Sweet Enough

Hi Everyone -
Sorry for taking a little break the last two weeks but I’ve been busy!  Busy around the house – we started quite a few outdoor projects on our house… and I’ve been tackling major cleaning and re-organizing on the inside… I reorganized my kitchen cabinets, which were a MESS!  My next plan is to tackle our master bathroom’s vanity which scares me!  But anyway, enough about that, I’ve been busy in the kitchen too :P )

I have been reading a lot of blogs lately (my collection keeps growing!!!) and found two recipes that I really wanted to try… I have been slacking in the “come up with your own recipe” area, but I really like using the blog as a way to share recipes that I have found and love with you, so I hope you appreciate this post…

The first recipe that I’d like to share is for these amazing blueberry crumb bars… I wouldn’t say they are dessert because they are not sweet except for the natural sweetness from the blueberries, although you could change that by bulking up the sugar content, but I really enjoyed them as a mid-am snack, plus the whole story behind the recipe is really sweet!  I followed everything to a T except I added a ton of cinnamon… hope ya’ll enjoy!

Then I also whipped up a batch of Angela’s 3 Ingredient Homemade Chocolate Covered Raisins except I primarily used almonds with some raisins mixed in :)   They came out delish and I like these because you can keep them in the fridge for when you just want a handful of something sweet…

The next item on my to-do list is cupcakes with some sort of flavor-enhanced buttercream icing for Father’s Day… I’m still in search of the perfect combination though but I’ll share with you as soon as I’ve got some ideas!
