Amazing Easter Cake!

Easter weekend was beautiful with finally, some warm weather! My cousin Kayla made the most amazing cake I have ever seen!
The eggs are red velvet cake
The Basket is a peanut butter frosting with a banana cake and filled with chocolate ganache!

By far one of the best cakes I have ever tasted!

Perfect Pancakes

Since it is officially Spring and we now have fresh produce in our markets I have become obsessed with everything Blueberry this year. When I received this set from Stonewall Kitchen I was so excited to go home and make pancakes! My husband and I have breakfast for dinner a lot and since we are on a healthy regime I wanted to work that into this recipe as well.

Instead of using the batter as directed I substituted the eggs for egg whites and used 1/2 Stonewall batter and 1/2 whole wheat pancake batter. I also added a handful of oats, a splash of vanilla and a hint of cinnamon. Needless to say... they were delicious! The Wild Maine Blueberry Syrup is also from Stonewall Kitchen and even with my love for Maine aside, it too was perfect!

It's finally Spring!

The weather here in CT has finally cooperated and we have taken our first family trip ( and Ariel's 1st trip ever) to the lake house for the year! There is something about being here that is so peaceful and serene.

 I cannot wait until the warmer days so I can bask in the sunshine and let my playful pups jump in the beautiful water! Spring is officially here which only means that Summer is on it's way ;)
