These s’more pie pops turned out to be beautiful (or at least some of them did), and they were delicious! BUT… they were a bit frustrating to make and they definitely weren’t perfect, which drove the perfectionist in me a little nuts.

And the melted chocolate leaked out of the cracks in the top of the pie crust (which is actually yummy now that I think about it…) where I had trouble getting it to cover the goodies inside....

Dairy Milk – Milk has a neutral flavour that isn’t really noticed when you make a smoothie....

The other day we went to a friend’s house, and they had a big, beautiful pot of red poinsettias in their entrance. They were gorgeous! I got a little jealous that I didn’t have that beautiful pot of poinsettias. But then I remembered that poinsettias stay alive until like July.

I baked 18 eggs in the oven using the method I described in my how to make hard boiled eggs in the oven post. I’m not sure if it makes any difference, but I let the eggs sit on the counter for about 15 minutes before I put them in the oven. As you can see, I only had one mini muffin tin, so I just put the rest of the eggs on a cookie sheet beside the tin:...

When buying a gift for her, get something that she is actually interested in and enjoys in her spare time. Don’t buy kitchen gadgets just because she spends most of her time in the kitchen cooking (everyone has to eat, but that doesn’t mean she enjoys cooking!) Think about what she does in her spare time, and what her interests actually are before spending money on anything. With moms, it really is the thought that counts, not the price tag....
