Thankful For Pinterest

13. Ok I totally stole this from something I seen on facebook.  Who says I can't be thankful for things others are? :) But it's true.  I am thankful for the things you can find on the web.  Of course I dont just mean pinterest...I mean everything!  I caught myself telling my daughter as she was doing homework...."you don't know?  Google it!"  My kids have no idea what an encyclopedia is, they don't need to know.  They have answers to any question they could ever have right at their fingertips.  We currently have 3 laptops, 2 gaming stations and 2 smartphones in our home with web access.  My guess is that is small potatoes compared to what other households have.  I love the knowledge that is accessible to us!  I know it can drive Nathan nuts that I don't make many food items anymore without consulting pinterest first, but how can you complain when we get so many yummy things?  Not to mention the crafts and hometips.  People are CREATIVE and I'm glad they share their ideas so freely!

 

With that I am going to share ONE of my favorite recipes that I found on pinterest.  It is an awesome one for the fall because you serve it warm, there is now waiting for crazy long minutes for the cake to cool before frosting....you pop it out, throw on a glaze and serve!  YUM!  Happy baking!  If you do make this, please let me know if you love it as much as we do
