Busy Day!

We started off with some cleaning. Clean the bedroom, the toilet, vacuuming...stuff like that. Yes, my 5 year old cleans toilets! :)

Next up ---- Making Lip Gloss! 

We needed pretoleum jelly, kool-aid mix and pretty little containers to put it in.

Melt the vaseline in 30 second increments until liquefied (stir in between). Once liquid, let cool for a little bit. And stir in the kool-aid. BEWARE: container will be hot!

Once all stirred together put it in your pretty container. I found mine on Amazon.

Let cool.

I found this recipe here via my new favourite site: Pinterest!

Next I sent the girls out to play in the backyard, while I baked up a couple loaves of Pumpkin Bread with a yummy cream cheese center. Recipe can be found here.

Next my friend came over and we madeTriple Chocolate Cake in a slow cooker. Yep, you read  that right....a slow cooker recipe for CAKE!

Mix all the ingredients together, pour in to a lightly greased crock pot.

Cook on high for 3-4 hours.

--- ours did NOT turn out, it burned and it wasn't even in there for 3 hours. Not sure what we did wrong :(

For dinner another friend made us Loaded Baked Potato Soup. While that was cooking, I made some Queso Blanco. It was good, but something was missing...not sure yet what it was. 

And since we already had the ice cream, we needed something chocolate to go with it,  I whipped up some quick brownies. 

Chewy Cocoa Brownies

1 2/3 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup butter (1 ½ sticks), melted
2 TBsp water
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cup flour
¾ cup cocoa
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Grease 13 x 9-inch baking pan
COMBINE sugar, butter and water in large bowl. Stir in eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; stir into sugar mixture. Spread into prepared baking pan.
BAKE for 18 to 25 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out slightly sticky. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

It was a good day, now time to rest.
