Is it Spring Yet?

The radio station out of Salt Lake City says that it is time to plant peas and my mailbox is full of seed catalogs...is it spring yet? The calendar says , "yes," but the weather is not cooperating--we had snow flurries today and they are forecast for the rest of the week. I decided to take matters into my own hands and celebrate the first week of spring! Here are a few fun spring treats, sure to chase away the "Winter Won't go Away Blues!"

Bird Nest Cupcakes

Make a batch of mini cupcakes and frost them with green tinted frosting. Top them with a nest of Chinese noodles, a couple of peanut M&Ms and voila--spring treats in a jiffy.

Dirt Pudding is another quick and springy treat.

Mix up a box of chocolate pudding according to the directions. Add cool whip until the pudding is the consistency of an expensive mousse. Throw some chocolate cookies in the blender,(Oreos or cheap chocolate cookies will do). Put the "mousse" into clear plastic cups, top it with Oreo "dirt," plant a sprig of mint and you have a treat that looks like spring is here!

Keep thinking warm thoughts and maybe spring will decide to make its appearance!

See you tomorrow!
