Chocolate Recipes Revisited

My days off before school starts on Monday went so very fast. Several days I was busy baking, which is a nice change from never having time to bake. But I didn't dare try something new because the baking was all for Teacher Appreciation Week and I wanted the teachers' treats that I took to the junior high to be great. So take a look at what I made from some of my old posts. I'm hoping to find time for a new post soon.
Creamy Cocoa Cookies with Fat Fudge Frosting

Ultimate Orange Raspberry Brownie Muffin
Pretzel Crusted Caramel and Chocolate Brownie Cups

  3. lucky teachers! :)

    valerie, you are so sweet & kind to everyone you encounter. that's such a wonderful quality. i hope to be as good with that talent as you are. ::hugs::

    thanks for reminding me that this is a righteous desire. too often i get in a mind-set of "little old me." basically, i figure who am i to ask the God of EVERYTHING to listen to little old me whine & cry? there are so many other pressing needs & concerns throughout the universe, that i feel like my request doesn't really deserve a place at the top of His to-do list. but righteous desires are what he's wanting to hear from His children, right? gosh, i'm so grateful for your perspective, val. you are one amazing lady. thank you. luv ya! ::hugs::

  5. Once again, I come here and promptly gain 15 pounds. Your blog has that effect on me.

    Glad you had a moment to enjoy baking and take a deep breath or two.

    Hopefully your batteries are recharged enough to be able to tackle another semester of REALLY hard classes.
