Busy Bee Me

I had a really busy week during senior project. Nicole Halla had her performances of her first and second graders this week for her senior project.  So she asked me to provide the refreshments for the students and parents that come. So I have done a lot of cooking this week. On Monday I made cranberry bars, on Tuesday I made ooeey gooey chocolate cookies and no bake cookies, on Thursday I made white chocolate raspberry truffles and these chocolate brownie type things, and on Friday I made peanut butter balls. I also made a strawberry punch and an nectar type punch for this week also. Every night I have been cooking and making desserts. I was never really told how many people were going to be there so I just had to prepare a lot.  All the recipes took me a long time to make. The cranberry bars took a long time because I had to make two and they had meringue which I discovered also takes a long time to make. Then all the cookies, truffles, and balls all could make several dozen so the rolling out and forming process was the most time consuming and annoying. But this way I had enough to serve all everybody with one recipe. I also had my second cooking class at the Cooking Station in Greenville and learned how to make bread. I love home maid bread so I am excited I know how to make it now with the help of the class and Mrs. Halla. I don’t know what my next project will be but I know I am tired after this week
