Life Update

LIFE UPDATE

Not all of my posts will be about cooking or baking, though that is the main reason for this blog. But I also wanted to do a blog where I can share about life. This is just a life update, and this post will tell you what I've been doing, how I'm doing, and whatever else is going on. 


JUNE and JULY 

I thought my summer was going to be fun, but for me, it's been nothing but dog-sitting. You might think that dog sitting isn't so bad, and I'm overreacting, which I probably am, but you'll understand if you've ever had to dog-sit little demons like I had to. 
So most of my June was dog sitting and it was easy and I earned money, so... 
 this June has been alright. 
In between my dog sitting, I went to a church picnic for God and Country Day, which is a thing my church does the Sunday before the Fourth of July, on June 30. 
Then, after the picnic, I returned to the house to do more dog sitting. I had to stay at the dog's owner's house, so me and my sister, Autumn, had to drive almost an hour to the house. 
Then we did a Fourth of July thing with our parents at our house. We had a picnic with some friends then we watched the movie "The Patriot," which I highly recommend. 
Then the next morning, my other sister, Sierra, and I went back to the house for a few more days. 
And then I went back home Saturday with my Mom after we cleaned the houses, (I was dog-sitting at two houses in the same neighborhood), and then my sisters came home the day after, and now I'm sitting at my kitchen table, writing this. Now you're all caught up! 

I'm very excited for what my next recipe will be! 
Have a good summer and happy baking!😊


God Bless America!❤🤍💙

Recipe: Cheer-up Chocolate Truffles

Anything with chocolate is wonderful and scrumptious, but these truffles are an easy and delicious chocolate recipe. I actually got the name from an episode from Just Add Magic: Mystery City , but theirs was "Cheer'em'up Mac and Cheese."  One of the times I made this was when my Nana was visiting. I made the mixture and let it chill. Then I made them for us when we were playing a board game. She and my sisters liked it, and I think that anybody who has a sweet tooth will love it! I got this Chocolate Truffle recipe from the American Girl Baking cookbook written by Nicole Hill Gerulat. Special tools or ingredients: heavy cream INGREDIENTS 1/4 cup heavy cream 4 tbsp. or 1/2 cup unsalted butter 8-oz. semisweet chocolate 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract 1/4 cup powdered sugar or unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted TOOLS Saucepan Rubber Spatula Shallow bowl Plastic wrap Melon baller or ice cream scoop Plate Sifter STEPS What are you waiting for?
