Moving - 3 of 3

 Settling In.
It has been such a journey, but we are grateful for every second, every day, every moment, and are embracing all of the beautiful things coming our way. 
Challenging is not even what I would normally call a move like this... Normally.... Well, I won't lie to you, My faithful readers....
It was a glorious.... Imperfect... Pain In The Ass!
However, with each box we unpack, we are gaining a little more time and space to work on our ultimate goals here. Living Happy, Living Better, Having More Fun, and Doing What We Want To Do! Because to quote, Shawn Mullins, "Isn't it a blessing... to do what you want to do..."
And
What we want to do is make Slice of Pie's life amazing.. And how we are doing just that is leaving the rat race (the made up money race, the money actually means something race, the having to choose loved ones over survival race, that you have to live your whole life acquiring instead of enjoying race to the finish line...)
 And how we have decided to do just that is... Making our own store, our own Products, and really getting this thing off the ground! 
True Success means more time with your family and less time working! - A.A. 
We are getting there for sure... We are even starting up our Baking section of the blog again... However... thats going to take a little bit more time...after all - we still can't find most of the dishes.

"Vanilla Heart-Attack Shaped Cake"

Eat at Your own Risk! (lol) Yummo! I really can't stop gushing about this cake, ya'll. Literally... they had to keep it away from me so I wouldn't sleep eat it, and give myself a heart attack from eating it. And, by the way - every piece was worth every palpitation. (don't worry, I only got about two pieces of this cake - it was so good everyone else wanted some, haha) Alrighty - Let's get to it..  First, get your ingredients together and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Then whisk your dry ingredients together. This takes place of actually having to buy cake flour. It's a short cut I use, but you can purchase cake flour if you want to, it's your life - however this saves you a bundle of time without having to purchase the flour and gives you a discount plus an even texture throughout the cake.  Start getting the wet ingredients together. Eggs, Sugar, Butter, Vanilla, & Crisco... YES - another recipe with Crisco... ...

"Ain't Nobody Got Time For That" Dark Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes

"Ain't Nobody Got Time For That" Dark Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes My friend, L and I are the queens of life hacks, and we're always looking for deals, shortcuts, and don't give a shit time savers. She is the queen of coupons and I'm addicted to food shopping, lol. So the other day when I was out marketing (marketing, tee hee) I saw some boxes of these Dark Chocolate Cake Mixes marked off to .50 cents, that's right ya'll - FIDDY CENTS! So of course I grabbed about four boxes and went along my merry way.  I don't usually go for boxed cake mix as my faithful kitchen assistant, Kitty Ears, and I sell authentic, all natural cakes and we're foodie snobs who frown upon such things, but sometimes you want a cupcake and you'll be damned if you're gonna spend five hours in the kitchen whipping up an organic cake with chocolate ganache... I mean... come the fuck on... "Ain't Nobody Got Time For That" every day. Recipe...
