My co-workers have been guiding my recent baking a My co-workers have been guiding my recent baking adventures. A chocolate and peanut butter recipe was suggested for my next treat. So, I made these peanut butter cupcakes with a chocolate peanut butter frosting. There were no complaints - that I heard. I also made a gluten free version for the family, which was a first for this recipe. This cupcake is great for bake sales and for co-workers. I really enjoy this combination too. #cupcakes
This picture book – ACROSS THE ICE How We Saved th This picture book – ACROSS THE ICE How We Saved the Ojibwe Horse by Darcy Whitecrow, Heather M. O'Connor, and Natasha Donovan - tells the story of the Lac La Croix First Nation helping save the Ojibwe horse. Children are too excited to sleep as they await the horses arrival. Nookomis tells them the story of the how they lived with these wild horses — each helping the other. Eventually, the Ojibwe herd dwindled to four. They were saved and gradually the herd has grown to 180. It's an interesting story for children to learn the history of these horses. I hope you can find a copy at your library or at your local bookstore. #MondayHistory #childrensbooks #picturebooks #OjibweHorse
