Back Again!

I'm back from chaos. I went to CA for Spring Break, and when I returned I was nearly booked solid! So I was going to blog earlier this week when the constant migrains hit. I'm crossing my fingers they stay away. Yesterday was my first day without one since Saturday.
Anyhow, I'll play catch-up, but I'll do it over time so that I feel like I don't have such a huge gap in blogging.
For April Fool's Day I decided to make April Fool's Cupcakes.
These cupcakes are actually meatloaves that are pretending to be sweet... LOL
You start with your meatloaf in a muffin tin pan. I used a large muffin tin.
While those were baking I made the instant mashed potatoes. Okay, so I prefer home-made potatoes, but I didn't have time that day, so instant it was! I added a
little blue food coloring to make them look like frosting...

Then you "frost" the "cupcakes" and serve.
I thought they were pretty nifty. An online friend forwarded me the
recipe and the idea, so I can't take credit.
Maybe next year I'll make a cake that looks like meatloaf???

I sure missed you while you were gone. Like the "cupcakes" idea. How did the kids like it?

I have heard about this (maybe from you) and I am glad you did pictures! I was curious what they looked like.
It must have been me getting my hair done 1st thing in the morning that chased those migraines away!

Brenden thought I was weird, and Zack didn't know what they were. LOL With a 7 1/2 year gap between kids, I think I'm doomed. ROFLOL
Rach-yeah, it definately must have been your effects that kept the migrains away. So what helped me today??? LOL
