My Summer of Pinterest Concluded!

Yay!! I am coming to an end of the Summer of Pinterest. I officially baked 20 desserts, cookies, and bread. I get this warm felling inside me when ever I accomplish something!

{number 20}  One Hour Pretzels 

My family thought that these were the BEST things I have ever made!! And they only took one hour. My advice to you, use the optional salt in the recipe. Even though they say optional, I would put it in.

I had the pleasure of having two very  lovely lady's come to our home for a tea party. I got to set up our dining room for a high tea.   I made my blueberry muffins for them.

 Here are some vegetables from our garden!

Paint Brushes and a Kitchen Aid

I have been doing lots of painting and baking this past week. Using kitchen aids, paint brushes, and all kings of kitchen and artists tools!! How fun!

[number 19]  Banana Breakfast Coffee Cake.
This recipe was gluten free, but I just switched about a couple of this to regular baking items. So, instead of gluten free all-purpose flour, I just use regular flour.

 [number 20] Cinna-Mini Cinnamon Rolls
Theses were so much fun to make!! I actually baked these for my dear Aidan's birthday! (He is my nephew! =] )

And here are my two newest paintings!

 Do you see a resemblance? =]

Our garden has been producing so many tomatoes! I love it!!

My Veggie Garden Part 4

My beautiful cherry red grape tomato plants are producing juicy fruit!! And my banana peppers are growing big! It is nice to see all you hard work turn into something that you enjoy so much!
Dad helped me put the metal stakes into my tomato plants! With a lot of water, and a bit weeding, you will have a prosperous garden!!!

My Veggie Garden Part 2

My radishes finally are starting to become radishes!!!!! They have never been this red before!!! This year Dad filled all our garden with black dirt!! So I think that is why they are so lush!!! All my other plants haven't really changed except they just got a little bigger!

 My Radishes

Little Green Things Sticking Out of the Earth

Finally!!! I started my garden!! This year I am doing a vegetable garden. It is such a joy to go out in the afternoon sun and water my fresh green garden! Then, after watering it, I have a satisfying thought that all my hard work in weeding, and watering will pay off with beautiful brightly colored veggies!!! "sigh" :) You cannot really see which plant is which because they are all one color........green. :)

 Radishes

 Sweet Banana Peppers
