Hi everyone!
Recently, a friend of mine suggested that I start posting a monthly newsletter telling everyone what I've been up to and the goings-on of my little world, or just some random thoughts/ideas I have :) Of course I'd still be posting when I get a chance, but I thought this was a good idea, because here of late I have had a lot going on and this is a way that I can fit blogging into my schedule, while still keeping it enjoyable. I also thought it would be neat to start sharing cute videos I find on YouTube once a week or every other week.What do you all think? Which should I do, or both? Comment below with your opinions :)!
I ♥ Spring!!!

~ Apple Bread Recipe ~
Have you ever searched for the perfect easy and delicious apple bread recipe? Well, look no further! Below is the ultimate apple bread recipe! I found it when looking for just such a recipe so I could use up some apples that friends gave us. The only modifications I make are adding more cinnamon and spices (ground nutmeg, cloves, and maybe ginger), more diced apples than it calls for, more vanilla, I do not cover the loaves with foil (although I would recommend it, I think it would help with the cooking time), and I grease and flour my bread pans (be sure to allow your bread to cool for about half an hour to 40 minutes before removing!). Also, I have used semi-thawed frozen diced apples every single time I've made this recipe with great results! And the cooking time takes much longer than the recipe says, in my experience. But oven temps vary, your's may cook quicker. If you don't care for sweeter bread, like my family, then reduce the sugar by about 1/2 a cup. I hope this recipe turns out as well for you as it does me!
Note: Below is the original recipe.
Debbie's Amazing Apple Bread (allrecipes.com)
2 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups peeled, cored, diced apples
2 cups all-purpose flour
1and 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste
a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes more. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

A Celebration of Pink! (2)
Today, I thought I would share some pink-inspired desserts. Pink is a popular party colour theme, and I hope you will be able to use some of these recipes for your upcoming parties :), or just a dinner dessert. Please keep in mind that I have not been able to try these recipes prior to sharing, mainly due to time limitation. Also, I will be sharing some "think pink" party inspiration next ACOP post, so hopefully you will be able to get party ideas going for Mom or sisters birthday. Or even next Valentine's or Mother's Day :)
Please comment if you end up trying a recipe, letting me know how it turned out. Happy Cooking!
