Remember a couple of posts ago when I wrote about making an Apple Upside Down Cake recipe from Jan? My two little cooks, Emeril and Rachel Ray finally got a chance to make it today.(In case you don’t know…the little people pretend they are Emeril and Rachel Ray all of the time.)
We might have made a big fat mess of our kitchen but nonetheless we had a blast.
Here is our cooking episode in pictures…
When Jan writes on her recipe to “resist the temptation to eat the batter straight from the bowl(yeah, it’s THAT good)”.She was NOT kidding. It started with one finger and then his whole hand went in!
So we moved it to the table where I could keep a better eye on the hand finger dipping!
They sat next to the oven and watched the cake bake.
They drove me nuts with asking “how much longer”, until I begged made them to help me make biscuits for supper.
Cool! More baking fun.
Before long our cake came out of the oven. It smelled and looked so good we wanted to eat it instead of before supper.
We hurried to eat our stew and biscuits so that we could eat our cake. Yummy in our tummy's! It was delicious! Emeril and Rachel were very proud of their cake.
I would so recommend making this cake if you like apples. It is so moist and not overly sweet. To get the recipe and make this yourself, go visit Jan’s Sushi Bar.
I know we will be making this again!
I will be leaving Friday morning, with a couple of friends, for a girls only weekend, at our girlfriends house, up north. We get together for this weekend every year while her husband goes deer hunting. I am so looking forward to this time with my friends. As a bonus the sun is suppose to shine, but I am NOT holding my breathe on that one! Rain or shine we will have fun!!
Whether it rains, snows or the sun shines, where ever you are, have a great weekend!
Hugs & love ya’ll ! XXOO

Had to laugh at that tasting in those pictures. Probably a few you didn't get on film. Most fun.
Have FUN and enjoy the well-deserved break.
Love these pictures! Those are two of the most at peace and happy kids I know. (well, sort of know, you know what I mean) That took a lot of patience on your part and my crown is off to you.

Wow, that is so sweet that each child got his/her own cake. That must have made them feel so, so special. :)

I don't know if I should be entertained or disturbed that they know who Rachel Ray is though. ;)

Grinning from ear to ear over here! They both looked like they were having a ton of fun and were able to enjoy the "fruits" of their labour....and yours. Homemade biscuits and stew on top of that. Sounds like somebody had a productive day.
Enjoy your Ladies Weekend Getaway! Hope you have a blast!
You had me at "cake". All those fabulous pictures were the "frosting on top"! Love it. The kids look so happy.
