Cupcakes in a cone
So my oldest just turned 7 and asked me this year asked me to make her class cupcakes in a cone. I thought what a fun idea but wanted to be sure to make it a post her because I was so uneasy on how to do it!
First for foremost go to your local pizza shop and ask for a clean pizza box. This will be use to transport your cupcakes to school. I have NO idea how else you could get these to a different location without them falling all over!
okay step 1Make your favorite box of cake mix. i kept it single but of course you can go from scratch. We used Funfetti
step 2
place your cones inside of the cupcake pan standing up
step 3
fill cones 1/2 way. I did it a little more as you can see, and they rose too much and started to drip over!
step 4
bake 350 for 18-20 mins
step 5
as the cupcakes cool, cut little circles in the top of your pizza box! the cones will sit right through
step6
the fun part, ICING! you could buy the cans with icing that you can swirl out of i think you would need about 3 and at 4.00 each i wasn't going to go there. So i bought a chocolate icing and a strawberry icing. spooned it into a zip lock bag, clipped the corner and made it look soft served. My strawberry icing was whipped and worked alot better.
step7
Decorate and ENJOY!

Eczema Woes
So Loco has had severe eczema as a child really bad. I mean we had to keep him in sleepers so he would not itch because he would get chronic staph infections. I took cows milk out of his diet and I have seen a HUGE improvement. Now thats its summer he has been eating ice cream alot so I need to work on an alternative for that.
Now me. It started in January and has been constant and severe for me. Covering 70 percent of my body is eczema. It looks more like hives, the itching and pain is so unbearable. Hence why my blog has been lacking. In January I went to the dermatologist and was given 2 steroid creams and atarax. All was good and well till I stopped the steroid cream. The flare ups would be back in a day. I went to an Allergist the other day, and turns out I am allergic to all the trees and grass and pollen in our wonderful rural country land. On top of that, it says I am allergic to Almonds....but Ive never had a reaction like you would think, I just have been drinking Almond milk. Im starting to think that was a false positive. I am severely allergic to Lentils though......and i developed that as an adult. Go Figure.
I have to stay off histamines for a few days to get blood drawn and see what else it say. Im beside myself. I dont understand how this happend to me as an adult. I eat healthy, cook from scratch and overall am stress free.
My next step is elimination diet but i have no idea where to begin. Anyone? Wanna guide me?
Yesterday I got more creams from the dermatologist including protopic as a maintenance.....
I was already smelling like coconut since i rub down in that a few times a day......
this is so horrible.

Ive seen the commercials for Garnier Fructis, the girl with the long strong hair who can pretty much pull a truck through mud. I have never tried this brand before and was super excited when BzzAgent contacted me to try it out for free. I have used it for 2 weeks now and I can not believe what a difference I can see it my hair. Its stronger, healthier and much more alive than it use to be. I have officially been convinced to stop getting the 1.00 shampoo and conditioner i was using and to spend a little more on my hair products! You really need to try it out and see for yourself!
