I'm Addicted...

to recipes! Seriously! I love cookbooks, cook magazines, random recipes. Just love um. Don't really use them enough, I'm more of a staple meal cooker. The things that make me look like I can cook because I don't have to have paper in front of me to create the masterpiece. But still...if you have some good ones, throw them my way! Anywho. Here's one I found perusing a children's magazine that I'm really considering moving to Iowa to join it's graphic team. The layout and graphics are just so hip and inspiring and such a nice spin on what we see so often in the juvenile market, but I digress. The magazine is Child and the website does NOT do it justice.

Anywho here's a recipe they had for carrot cake muffins (which I think I'm going to really try since I LOVE carrot cake). Don't they look scrumptious??

And because Tricey tagged me (love blog tags, lets me know that you all know I'm out there lurking, hehehe)

10 Things I love about Spring (kind of tough b/c you know I love my winter, cold rainy days...)
1) RAIN ohhh, the earth smells sooo good when water drops from the sky
2) Bright colors (KJ used to call me Skittles to be funny b/c he said every outfit I wore in school was like my interpretation of the rainbow)
3) Shoes (now if I could just get my summer feet to do right...)
4) Spring breezes. Just stand still and feel um.
5) Lemonade, no ice, more tart than sweet
6) Babies being born (all that fall cuddling comes full circle in spring...doesn't it Colein? ;-) )
7) Sprinklers (it's too cool for swimming sometimes, but in the afternoon it's perfect "run thru the sprinker with a shower cap on your head so not to mess your hair up" weather)***This is of course for children, I as an adult woman do not do this...at least I haven't yet...***
8) Donuts. Random, I know but I loved a good glazed donut in the spring (summer, fall and winter too, to be honest)
9) Curiousity of summer. Is it me, but don't some really awesome "life events" take place in the summer?
10) Perfect bike riding weather (which I tried to do on Sat and succeeded in 30 min of huffing and puffing realizing that there are more inclines in my neighborhood than I thought and my bootie doesn't near fit on that seat like it used to...)

Happy Thursday! Think we'll get a new Grey's episode tonight??? Fingers crossed!
