Birthday Girl!

Yesterday was a day of celebration! Matilda turned Eight! Can you believe it? She's growing up so fast!

 I just love her! She is very artistic and and has a wide sense of humor! She is very independent, she loves and is loveable!

 Reading a card from Layla....

Opening her gifts! (Check out Baby O's face in the background!)

 Matilda was pretty stoked when a friend bought her a muffin from the coffee shop we went to that morning...

I can't believe this, but I totally forgot to take a picture of the cake! We just ate it to fast....
But it was a delicious chocolate cake with peanut butter icing and chocolate chips sprinkled on top.... (Now you know why it was gone so fast...)
 

 Here is a video of us singing "Happy Birthday!" Please, do excuse our singing voices but, as you may know, the happy birthday song is possibly the hardest song to sing on the whole face of the earth.

Love,
Hagen

Peanut Butter Cups

Hello dears! Today I have a recipe for you!
I had been craving these little cups of yummyness for forever, and couldn't stop thinking about them. So, I decided the best thing for me to do was to just make them!

Peanut Butter Cup Recipe

Makes 17 mini cups

3/4 cups chocolate chips

2 Tbsp. coconut oil

3 Tbsp. smooth peanut butter

1 1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
17 mini baking cups

I will say the more chocolate you have the better

 because the layers will be thicker....

1. Pour chocolate chips in a sauce pan along with the coconut oil. Put on medium heat. Stir until melted.

2. In a bowl, combine melted coconut oil and peanut butter. Stir until liquidy.

3. Place the baking cups on a cookie sheet. Pour a tsp. of the chocolate mixture in each cup. Put the cookie sheet in the freezer for the chocolate to harden.

4. When the chocolate is nice and hard, pour about a tsp. or tsp and a half of peanut butter mixture on top. Pop them back in the freezer to set-up.

5. Then simply pour another tsp of chocolate over the peanut butter, let harden in the freezer for about 6 minutes and voila! You've got yourself a delicious, melt in your mouth treat! 

Well let me know how you like them! Because....uh....we did... :)

Love,

Hagen
