Craving something sweet....

Well this week, I have had horrible cravings for something sweet. It's crazy how I can't seem to get enough sweets...maybe if I indulged in some, I'd stop craving them. I just don't want to add anymore weight to this body. ha! So anyways, I saw a recipe that sounded really good in one of my emails. Called Amish Bob & Andy pie. I adapted it so it would be GF, and I even made the crust GF too. It sure smelled really good, but Jessie and I don't think it tastes that good. Dawn loved it, Spencer & Cyril wouldn't even touch it. Here is the finished product.

I was bound and determined to have something sweet tonight. So I cooked up a Betty Crocker GF cake mix and am trying Pamela's Vanilla frosting mix....so far the frosting tastes great in the bowl. lol.

Here's the frosting in the bowl, ready to go. Not to bad tasting, very sweet.I think I made it a little to thin, now that I spread it on the cake. It just looked really thick when I was mixing it. The kitchen now smells like almond extract. Note to self remember to put caps back on things right away.

Just wish the cake didn't look so dense. I miss that about gluten cakes, they don't look dense like their gluten free counter parts. The Betty Crocker mixes taste in my humble opinion taste the same....just wish gluten free ones weren't so expensive.

Here's the finished product...it didn't turn out so bad...

Now where's a tall cold glass of milk when you want one....

Side note=I've finally joined the ranks of other bloggers who add pictures to their blogs. I finally figured it out. lol...guess I was slow to change.

God Bless,
Carlena
