Sad news

We had to get rid of our chickens!!! :(

In short, one of our neighbors complained about them (who knows why?) and so the city said we had to get rid of them, as they are technically not legal...which we didn't realize when we got them.
We sold Duchess, Timi, Daisy, Helga, and Daphne to a nice lady who REALLY wanted them, and the other two went to a family in our ward who have a ranch in another city where chickens are legal. Hopefully, they are all enjoying their new digs, but we miss them and our fresh eggs!

Time for a taste of fall!

Here's my very own recipe for Apple Spice Cake.
Made it up myself, and it turned out so yummy!

Apple Spice Cake
~~~~~~~
1 box spice cake mix
4 eggs
1 c. buttermilk
1/2 c. oil
1/3 c. apple butter (not applesauce!)
1 medium Granny Smith Apple, peeled and chopped

Mix cake mix, eggs, buttermilk, oil, and apple butter on low speed
for 30 seconds, and then beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Fold in chopped apple.
Pour into greased bundt pan, and bake at 350 for 38-40 minutes,
or until cake springs back when touched.
Cool 10 minutes, and invert onto serving plate.
Glaze with:
1/4 c. melted butter
1 t. vanilla
1/2 t. cinnamon
1 c. powdered sugar
1 T. milk
~~~~~~~~~
Enjoy this taste of fall!!

Cupcakes are one of my favorite things.
The perfectly sized, cutest little bit of yumminess.
Love 'em.

Remember

Happy Birthday to me!

Two of the cutest gals brought me this cupcake.
Thanks Kim & Kayla!!

My hubby's gifts to me.
The book was no surprise, as I've been asking for it
since it came out a month ago.
(Nothing like big hints!)
But the ring was a BIG surprise!
I don't know how he does these things!
Again, I have an AWESOME hubby.
He's the best!
