hey there!! Updates galore

I've added a few new features to the blog. Now you can search my blog.. which will make it much much easier to find things you need! I will be attempting to make a few more improvements, but my HTTP skills aren't so very good, so it may be a slow and painful process. I've already discovered I'm having technical issues with some of my links on the side. I apologize, but have them up there as best as I can seem to get them currently.
I've added a swagbucks swidget to allow easier search for swag codes.

I will try to be more active in posting things on my blog, If I figure out how to make separate pages, I will be much much more active. It doesn't LOOK that hard haha.. I will just have to take the time to get it done.

update: apple thingy recipe

I scored a monster good deal at the store and did in fact make the apple thingy recipe. I didnt' exactly follow it to a T... but I did a close rendition.. added my own amounts of cinnamon, sugar and a dash of vanilla. It was rather tasty.. once I finally got it cooked enough. It wasn't overly tasty when dealing with not fully cooked biscuits.. but it was mostly a texture issue for me, not so much a taste issue.

all in all. I say try it.. it's pretty good :)

update on the sweet and spicy sweet potatoes

I made the potatoes for Christmas dinner and while they were good.. they were WAY too spicy for me. I'm thinking lower the ginger and the cayenne and they will be awesome!

Another friend passed this recipe on to me. It sounds really good, and I can't wait to try it!
