Robin from "Redo It Yourself Inspirations" (Click on the blog button below)
Robin's wonderful blog is a Garden & Home DIY.  Here is a descriptive quote from Robin: "I've always had a tendency to be motivated and easily inspired to be creative. It's the way I've been molded. I'm the daughter of a master craftsman cabinet maker and a thrifty crafty lady. My new journey started when my husband and I bought a real fixer upper home a few years ago. I had no choice but to dive in and get back into the do-it-yourself mode full force. Every room and every aspect of the home and property needed a LOT of work. There is still more to do. The cost and time can be overwhelming but I conquer that by recycling household items into re-purposed functions. With that, I'm hereby sharing our trail of improvements with hope to inspire others."

It's almost Easter.  What have you been doing to get prepared? 

Welcome to our party.  Link up with us and enjoy the wonderful holiday.

Recipe Swap Hop

Pumpkin Cherry Upside Down Treat

Ingredients:

1 can puumpkin

1 C vegetable oil

2/3 C water

4 eggs

3-1/3 C flour

3 C sugar

2 tbs baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

Add all dry ingredients in medium bowl and blend

Add pumpkin and wet ingredients

Mix well ( I use a large spoon) 

You may have to adjust your flour to get the consistency you wish

I like my mix to be thick so it comes out solid with the cherries on bottom

I use a can of cherry pie filling for the bottom 

I also like my batter to be thick but it will come out like

a big thick bar and taste awesome

I always mix by hand with a large spoon and

you have to spoon the mixture onto the cherries

Place in the over for 45 minutes 

(ovens and altitudes make a difference)

It will come out firm and golden brown

Below is a side view after it is cooked

Just look at that beautiful layer of cherry filling

Let cool for about 20 minutes then cut, plate, add whipped cream

EAT!

Oh yeah, it is goooooood!

Now it's your turn. Show me what you got.

Coffee Date and Anything Goes Blog Hop

Hi, come on in the coffee's ready and after all,

If you came to my home for coffee today our conversation would probably go something like this.

I'm so glad you came over.  I'm really in need of some adult conversation.
If I hear the word Mom one more time I think I'm gonna run away from home.
I really love my kids but sometimes I want to talk about something
other than poopie, boogies and what's that in my food.
Suddenly I can imagine what the animals at the zoo feel like
with people on the other side of bars staring at them and waiting for them to
jump through some magic hoop or something.  When I go to pee these days
it seems like my entire family gathers outside the baby gate at the door and watch and wait.
 My little guy beats his bottle on the gate bars and cries and sometimes
for variety my daughter will stand there and cry too.  Me, I'm on the other side of the
bars thinking I just want to pee, it's not rocket science I should be able to figure
this out and make it happen without a crying audience.

I guess I'm just having one of those days but I'm truly glad you came by.

What about you, what's up in your life?
Ready for a refill on that coffee?

Angel
