Baking Goodness...Lemon Cupcakes!

Just to talk about something on a more uplifting and happy note...I love baking! When time permits, and my energy level is up for it, ie. in the morning, and I have an event to cook for so that I don't eat all the goodies...I pull out my cookbook, or go to my favorite food blogs, and make a bit of delectibleness! Ok, I know that isn't a word, but it's how I feel about homemade, cooked from scratch baked goods. ;o)

I have baked cupcakes for wedding, funerals, birthdays, showers, and love gifts. I love bringing happiness to someone through food. Don't laugh, it's kind of silly but it's a way of serving, it's a way of connecting with people.

So, I'm going to give you one of my secrets for perfect cupcakes.  Are you ready? It's tricky...Don't overbake!!! It's the secret to all baked goods and I think the reason so many people complain about their baking.  Baking takes patience, exactness, and attention to detail. For all my Utah friends, it also takes more work. Higher elevation requires less rising agent, among other tricks that I will share with you some time. This particular recipe gave me fits in Utah and is easy-peasy in FL. Lucky me! :D If you want to follow the recipe and have some spring-like fresh lemon goodness follow this link.



As a side note; I am sending you, via the link above, to my cooking blog.  It doesn't look fancy right now, and yet it will soon enough. I have been keeping my own blog to house all of my recipes for quite a few years ago. My goal for this year is to translate all of the recipes into my own words with my own pictures and cooking tweaks. It is going to be a fun process for me and I started with Lemon Cupcakes because who can resist that?!?!

What I Would Tell My Younger Self

Last week was a really tough week for our Bishop and family. First, my husband went out of town on business and it happened to overlap with our daughter and her babies visiting us. So, three days that she was here, he didn't get to see her. Then, he flew back into town Wed. around town and then we drove our daughter to the airport Thursday morning at 4:30. Yes, that is early, and yes, we did go back to bed when we got home. ;o) Then he worked all day Thursday and I will spare you the details but it was a bad day. His non-boss boss was in a foul mood and he got the brunt of it.  Thursday evening he had the yearly ward audit and didn't get home until close to 10. Friday was another fun filled day at work, and then Friday evening and Saturday were filled with youth conference which he attended and was a chaperone for during the entire event. Sunday was a rough "bishop" day that he couldn't talk about, and quite frankly, I didn't want to hear about.  That leads us...

Officially in the Limelight!

I had an interesting experience this evening. Without divulging more than I should, let's just say that I was told that people in my area are concerned that I have not kept my information about the stake changes private until the appropriate time. They were concerned that because I dated my blog post for the date of my writing some people thought that I had said something before the stake split announcement. Let me assure you that this isn't the case. I date my posts for the day that I write them but I didn't post them until Nov. 9th, the afternoon of the day of Stake conference. With that being said, this experience brought to my attention how much being a bishop's wife really is somewhat like being on show for everyone. Sometimes you are scrutinized and it is good, and sometimes it isn't so good.  I felt truly inspired to write and keep this blog so that people can get an idea of what a normal bishop's family is like. This however can be difficult because I ...
