You can have a tasty recipe, but to bring it to fruition is another thing all together. This recipe and creation was one of those times. I came up with the cutest sketch of an Easter tart and even had that tasty recipe to blog about. But in the end I could not duplicate the design I had created on paper. I was so disappointed that I could not produce my idea. I'm not giving up on the cute designed tart just yet, just setting it aside and pondering a solution. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On that note, my niece came up with an alternative design that utilized what we had on hand in the pantry.

So to keep busy I pulled out the only two grow lights I had and set up a grow table in my basement. Lucky me, I had ordered my seed from <a href="https://www.johnnyseeds.com/" target="_blank">Johnny's Selected seed </a>before the shelter in place happen. Every day I'd shuffle my trays under the lights. When the danger of frost was over I transplanted them in my garden. <div><br /></div><div>There is nothing like trying to one up your siblings garden. So, the challenge was us posting pictures of each others progress. Here's some of my photos I sent my Sister. <div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I6tmrHNBQJQ/Xw5JK11fA6I/AAAAAAAAB38/bu7i58ejbpgq4oxvh8ViyLB2I1nh6-0WgCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/107694725_10223147215178147_3069429771043809824_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I6tmrHNBQJQ/Xw5JK11fA6I/AAAAAAAAB38/bu7i58ejbpgq4oxvh8ViyLB2I1nh6-0WgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/107694725_10223147215178147_3069429771043809824_n.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G4JPEjnr8Ls/Xw5JMR04SfI/AAAAAAAAB4I/tbgL9B8JbicBpIf_wJer_LMpiy5E_mfXQCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/107712664_10223147214778137_5210873420422088314_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G4JPEjnr8Ls/Xw5JMR04SfI/AAAAAAAAB4I/tbgL9B8JbicBpIf_wJer_LMpiy5E_mfXQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/107712664_10223147214778137_5210873420422088314_n.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I lost this cucumber to a critter today.

My sister spent her weekend digging them out. We later moved them to another part of the yard. My nephew dug up the old landscaping stones that had sunk into the hard clay soil. I spent a weekend turning the soil and raking out the roots of crabgrass and weeds. I used an old can of spray paint to mark the bed and started laying out the landscape stones. But my weekend ended before I could finish. Where I left off my sister took up and finished while I was working. We transplanted old flowers and plants with a few new ones. I found two fountains in my mothers basement she had never used. Dusted them off and ordered water pumps from <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/" target="_blank">The Home Depot</a>. My sister pulled out the pressure washer and went to work on those old landscape stones and wow did they clean up.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We found a box of #<a href="http://www.ricearoni.com/" target="_blank">Rice-A-Roni</a> Spanish Rice. We followed the Rice-A-Roni box directions and added a can of dice tomatoes as called for. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we added to that two cans of #<a href="https://www.ro-tel.com/" target="_blank">Ro-Tel,</a> and a can of Black beans. We also had left over Taco beef. (We had to make our own Taco spice and used #<a href="https://altonbrown.com/taco-potion-19-recipe/" target="_blank">AltonBrown's Taco Poition #19</a>.) </div>

Add gelatin to a double boiler, then add the cold water. Once the gelatin has soften add the boiling water and mix, now slowly add the sugar, salt stir until its completely dissolved. Then pour gelatin mixture in to your electric mixing bowl and whip on high speed until its thick and airy. Now add the vanilla and food coloring continue to mix. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While waiting on the gelatin to mix let's make the egg mold. Add 1" to 2" of flour to a small rimmed pan. Take your egg in shell I place mine in a small plastic bag to keep from contaminating the flour. Or if you have any plastic Easter eggs you could use one of those. I didn't think of that until now. </div>

Use your cookie cutters as you would for cookie dough on your marshmallows. Keep in mind that your Marshmallow will be sticky. For each cut out I would dip the cutter in my left over flour from my egg mold. </div>

<span style="color: #38761d;">For St. Patrick's Day and to keep my mind off what's going on in the world today, I pulled out my grandmother's 1950's <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/" target="_blank">Betty Crocker's </a> Cook book. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"> It's been a well loved and used cook book in our family. As you can see we've had to tap the binding after three generations. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">I wanted to do a recipe that I've not seen too over done. I went searching in her cook book for a St. Patrick's day recipe other than Corned beef and I found Blarney Stones! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">What are Blarney Stones you ask? Yeah, so did I. They are a Sponge Cake cut into 2" long and 1" wide cakes, then frosted lightly in butter cream and covered in salted peanuts.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">I used the "Inexpensive Sponge Cake" found on page 139 and I used the small cake recipe which worked well in a 1/4 size cookie sheet. It made 26, 2" by 1" size cakes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">I moved to page 165 to finish the Blarney Stone recipe. I made two substitution, one was when it called for an egg yoke. I used meringue powder in its place since I was not comfortable with a raw egg in my butter cream. The second change I switched to lightly salted peanuts. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">These little cakes were surprisingly very tasty. They give you that salty-sweet taste and their little size is just right. </span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d;">So if you are stuck in doors during this time, why not pull out one of your treasured family cook books. Look up a vintage recipe and have some quality time with your loved ones. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">But where do you find a micro ginger bread person? My sweet niece came up with this one. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">For our ginger bread person we used a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fox-Run-3690-Shapes-Cookie/dp/B0000VLP6W/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=fox+run+micro+cutters&qid=1581469192&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Fox Run 3690 Micro Shapes Cookie Cutter Set </a>like this one found on Amazon.</span><span style="color: red;"> </span></span></div>

Yes, Sponge candy also known as Honeycomb candy, whichev</span><span style="color: #e06666;">er name your family recipe was handed down by. This is a sweet, crunchy, honeycomb-texture treat with</span><span style="color: #e06666;"> </span><span style="color: #e06666;">hints of delicate toffee and molasses flavor. You can leave it plan or dress it up with chocolate which is what my niece and I did for a Valentines day treat. </span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">You can find many recipes online or in your heirloom recipe books. They only vary by dark or light corn syrup and white or dark brown sugar. If you use the dark corn syrup or sugar you get a deeper toffee/molasses flavor. Whatever you choose this confection only has four ingredients and is super easy. </span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Before you start pre-measure your ingredients, doing this lets you focus on the candy temperature and timing. Next foil line a 9 x 13 dish with 2" sides (a casserole dish works) extending the foil over the sides. Spray the foil lined dish with Pam generously and set aside. Combine corn syrup, sugar and vinegar in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar crystals dissolve, once dissolved clip your candy thermometer to the saucepan about halfway into the syrup. Being careful not to touch the bottom of the pan. Wait unit it comes to a boil. Continue cooking without stirring until the thermometer reaches 300 degree, swirling the pan occasionally. This should take 18 to 20 minutes. </span></div>

Since the first day of March I've had my nose pressed to the window looking for signs of spring. Alas, it's Michigan; we've had three days of snow. Finally, my patience paid off. I'm happy to report that our spring flowers are poking out of the ground with a few blooming in the sunshine now. Our neighborhood wildlife is on the move and visiting our yard. Among them are a few bunny families, which inspired me for these Bunny Tail Treats for Easter.<br />

<br />
Start with the mini marshmallows and food safe scissors; you will be cutting three types of marshmallow shapes and sheet of wax paper. The first part of your bunny tail treat is the tail. You're going to begin by rolling your mini marshmallow between your fingers to give it the soft rumpled look of fluff. Not too long: you don't want a sticky tail. Once you have the look you want cut the ball in half and set aside with the sticky side down on the waxed paper, this gives you two tails. (Do this for each bunny tail you are making).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DMf9icSx2gE/WrllvERWnDI/AAAAAAAABh4/uRiwFpYX92wsJdPeU2RECKXn3wRWhn47wCEwYBhgL/s1600/DSCN4121.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1192" data-original-width="1600" height="297" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DMf9icSx2gE/WrllvERWnDI/AAAAAAAABh4/uRiwFpYX92wsJdPeU2RECKXn3wRWhn47wCEwYBhgL/s400/DSCN4121.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Next, move on to the feet. For this you want to flatten the marshmallow to an oval shape of feet with your finger tip. Then, cut in half and place the sticky side of the marshmallow down on your wax paper. Keep the feet pair together, later you will paint the toes with food color. (Do a pair for each bunny tail you are making, with a few extra for safe measure).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
The last marshmallow piece you're going to make is the ears. For this you will need a shallow bowl or plate to pour some pink sanding sugar. Flatten your marshmallow; you want these to be flatter than the feet, cut them in half placing the sticky side into the pink sanding sugar for the inner bunny ear. Place ear pairs with sanding sugar up to dry. (Do a pair for each bunny tail you are making).<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Now go back to your bunny feet, you will need your pink or red food coloring and food safe brush. I found it was easier to have a few drops of food coloring on the waxed paper and a paper towel to wipe the brush of excess coloring. Touch the brush tip to the food coloring and for the top of your foot make a large dot of color, not too much or it will bleed color all over the foot. (This is where the extra feet come in handy). Below the large dot make four extra small dots for the toes. Let dry.<br />

The second part is the bunny tail base, you will need a <a href="http://www.oreo.com/thins/" target="_blank">Oreo Thins </a>Cookie Mint for each bunny you make. Also, unwrap the L<a href="https://www.lindtusa.com/?msclkid=d322695de08e15b8558133e47ae505ff&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Lindt_BNG_SRCH_Brand_Core_EXT&utm_term=lindt&utm_content=Lindt_BNG_SRCH_Brand_Core_EXT_Alone&gclid=CJHVn6Spi9oCFeePxQIdkA0PYA&gclsrc=ds" target="_blank">indt </a>white Chocolate truffles for each one and also set aside. Lay out a sheet of wax paper big enough to hold all your cookies and a fork.<br />
<br />
Take the shallow microwavable bowl and melt the green candy melts in the microwave in 10 second intervals, stirring until completely melted. Now take an Oreo and a fork in hand and submerge the cookie in the melted candy melts cover both sides of the cookie and using the fork lift the cookie out and place on wax paper. Do this for each bunny you are making. While the chocolate is still soft place a Lindt truffle in the center of each cookie base, this will be the bunny bum.<br />

Once each base has a bunny bum, use a toothpick and apply candy melt to the back/sticky side of the bunny tail and attach the tail slightly off the top center of each bunny rump. Then move on to the feet, take a pair of feet with the toes side to the bottom of each base and using a toothpick apply a little bit of melted candy melts to the sticky side of the foot. Place the foot on a slight angle against the bunny bum just below the tail.<br />

Once the bottoms and feet are done move on to the ears. For these, the sanding sugar will face out to either side of the bunny. This will give the impression that the bunny is reaching into his bunny den for his stash of carrots with his tail in the air. Follow the same process to attach the ears to the top of the bunny as you did for the feet.<br />

Don't worry if the feet or ears or tail are not center, no two bunnies are ever the same. Unless they are twins, that is. Now you can stop here or make a batch of green royal icing and a decorator's bag and garb a grass tip. Take your grass tip and pipe around the bunny. You can add an egg or pre-made flowers beside the bunnies to give it a more festive look.<br />
