I have started a new blog. It won't take away from this one in any way. This blog is just about random things going on in mine and Sam's lives. My new blog is one of those 365-somethings-in-365-days blogs. I have been inspired by blogs such as the one which inspired the book and movie "Julie and Julia". So, I decided to start my own. I am going to attempt to make one individual-sized dessert every day and then write a blog post about it, complete with pictures. Today is my 3rd day, and so far, so good.
Those of you who know me well, or who have followed this blog for any amount of time, know that I don't always stick with things so well. This blog is a prime example. I have gone weeks and even months at a time without a single post. I am hoping that, with my new blog, I will be much more consistent. If I receive comments, letting me know that people are reading it, I'm sure that will help me with being consistent. So, please read and comment often.

Fresh Apple Cake
Twice this week, I've made fresh apple cake. I made the first one on Monday because Sam made a special request. He gobbled up so much of it, I decided to make another one Wednesday, since there were people I wanted to share it with. I've had some requests for the recipe, so here it is:
FRESH APPLE CAKE
1 cup oil
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups self-rising flour
1 cup chopped pecans
2 cups apples, diced
Mix well first 5 ingredients. Add apples and nuts. Bake in well-greased tube pan at 350° for 1 hour.
Today, I used this recipe but substituted 2 cups shredded zucchini for the apple. It was more moist than my usual zucchini bread recipe, but Sam said this recipe tastes better with apple.

What's up
I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted here. A lot has happened in that time, which is why I haven't had time to write.
School is out, and now I'm keeping 2 boys. Levi and his older brother Isaac who is 6 years old. Today, we weeded the garden and made chocolate chip cookies. Both activities were a lot of fun. I'll try to get more pictures on here soon.
