During Spring Break I decided that I was going to do a lot of cooking that I wanted to do but didn't have time. I made Mountain Dew cupcakes but they tasted a lot more like lemon than Mountain Dew. I heard that M.D. has an orange base instead of lemon/lime so one person making the recipe was going to use orange extract instead of lemon. The frosting was super sweet and I only I one of the two dozen made. Josh's job was to eat the things I made. I also made Oreo balls which I remembered to take a picture of before they were gone. I ate one a couple days ago and almost puked because they were so super sweet, but other people seemed to be fine eating them even if you can only eat one at a time because of the sweetness factor. I also made puppy chow, twice. I plan to make some more because it is the only thing I made that I really eat. I was also planning to make these coconut balls but I didn't get around to it. I plan on rolling them in coconut instead of sparkling sugar because I don't really like sprinkles.

All those things sound so good! And the oreo balls look really cool! You need to make some of those things the next time I'm in town.

I love the new look of your blog! It's really nice looking.

Dito Joy, those Oreo balls do look fancy! And did you do use some special setting with your camera or something? The lighting looks really professional.
