baking.

i love baking. i say that a lot don't i? but it's true! it is so relaxing for me, i love just going in the kitchen and forgetting about school and all the other things that worry me. sometimes i spend too much time baking up treats and then i panic when it's 1o o'clock and i still have piles of homework to do...not good. but at least i have a yummy treat to eat! the cupcakes for steph's baby shower turned out fabulous. the wilton 2D piping tip is my new best friend. it makes such beautiful cupcakes.
this week is going to be a busy one. i have plenty of hours scheduled at primary children's, papers, tests and quizzes to conquer, and isaac's friend from england is here visiting and staying with us! so we're going to try to have some fun as well. i have a few new recipes i hope to try...here's my tentative menu for the week.

monday: bbq - cheeseburgers, baked oven fries, and corn on the cob
tuesday: mango peach chicken over coconut rice
wednesday: baked stuffing coated chicken, mashed potatoes, and veggies
thursday: leftovers {i have to work}
friday: date night

i also really want to try these raspberry almond cupcakes with chocolate ganache. yum.

happy monday! i only have 9 more weeks of nursing school, how excited am i?!
