The Best Birthday Party…EVER
It was time to plan my sons 7-year birthday party. After considering bowling, Hot Wheels, and Legos, I decided to honor his spirit. Now that we are immersed in elementary school, these are the last fleeting days of little boy. I had to consider, What was my sons favorite thing on planet earth? Like most boys, he is infatuated with automobiles and airplanes. To be exact, ever since I can remember, my son has been obsessed with The Parking Spot, or better known in my house, The Cheetah Bus. Let me explain.
Sugar Mommas’ Labor Inducing Rum Cake
You know the cake is good whenyour girlfriend calls you up from the hospital, feet in stirrups about to give birth and requests that you make it, stat! When I visited Ms. Craving in the hospital, the first thing she said as I entered her room was, Did you bring THE Rum Cake. Good thing the alcohol burns off in the oven! In honor of her new baby, we thought this recipe was a good one to start off 2010 with a bang!
Sugar Mommas’ Texas Longhorn Cake
I first had a Tres Leches Cake (translation, cake with three milks) when I lived in Houston, Texas in 1997. It was an immediate love connection. Yellow cake drenched in milk syrup topped with whipped cream. The combo on the fork makes for a mouthful of heaven. This is the type of cake you dream about. Being that I lived in Houston, Texas and my first son was born there, the Reiner people are die hard Texas Longhorn fans. In honor of the BCS National Championship Game we decided to spice up this Tres Leches Cake. We are all in a celebratory mood. The BCS game is a national holiday, isnt it? So go ahead, indulge in this dessert and your football fans will cheer you on!
Sugar Mommas’ Oat-Choco-Chip Holiday Hybrid Cookies
This recipe is the perfect cross between a chocolate chip and an oatmeal cookie. Sometimes an oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips just doesnt serve the craving. We have the ultimate hybrid! Chocolate chip cookie dough with some ground up oatmeal to give them some extra crunch. Serve these at the holiday cookie exchange and everyone will beg for the recipe.
