Half Baked.

Speaking of baking...I DID manage to make completely totally homemade from-scratch cupcakes. Even...get this...the frosting! Y'all probably don't understand how big of a deal this is. But I'm doing a lot of "baking" these days. Mostly the bun in the oven, ya know, but with this on top of it? I'm having a moment of domestic goddess-ness. (If I ignore the stacks of half-packed boxes all over my house.)

Take it one step fancier...these were actually paleo cupcakes. (The word paleo usually makes my family cringe. But they ALL ate these and no one said, "um, I don't really like this" which is usually the result of my paleo baking attempts.) Billy even ate one...and Tirzah, the queen of picky, was sportin' a nice chocolate 'stache by the time she finished hers.

No...Jericho wasn't allowed to eat one. He uses food as hair gel, and I had no intentions on giving him a bath. He was ok with that though, since we was eating leftover chips from dinner. Kid loves chips.

I even busted out the new food processor...so it's officially been christened. I really don't like cooking, but the end result of this was nice. (I think part of the problem with cooking, for me, is I hate making another mess I have to clean up.) Happy, chocolate covered kids who weren't filled up with any artificial ingredients. But since this went so well...I have my eye on another paleo recipe that sounds equally mess-inducing: a cauliflower crust pizza. If I can manage to get the kids to eat this without pitching a fit, trust me, you'll see it on the blog. ;)
