Share Your Heavenly Homemakers Recipe Story

Shaela sent in this one, which included none other than old episodes of our boys’ Cake Boys videos (a spin-off of the TV show, Cake Boss). Our boys were a few inches shorter and a few shoe sizes smaller when they made these. :)  They’ve moved on to other types of videos now, but if you haven’t watched the Cake Boys series, you may want to – just for fun!

Here’s what Shaela wrote:

Our kids love to watch Cake Boys episodes and I about die of laughter watching your boys’ commercials on the episodes (Asa’s elbow guard was hilarious). We decided to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Cake today and watch Cake Boys. I loved that the cake was done in the Crock Pot since it’s 95 degrees here in Colorado today. Thank you for sharing those Cake Boys videos, we enjoy them and your recipes.

Here are the pictures of her family making the cake together. Love, love love!

Thank you, Shaela. You can imagine our Cake Boys got a big kick out of your story!

I think it goes without saying that you should now all go make a Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Cake. :)

Now your turn to share your story. Email me!

Once again, we are behind at our house in completing Cake Boys episodes. This week, the boys finally finished this video that they began last January. So many videos, so little time!

Obviously, you’ll see that the boys add a little drama in an effort to be like the real show, Cake Boss. They always laugh at the real show when the characters are so dramatic over nothing. ;)

You can see more of our boys’ Cake Boys episodes here.

Menu Plan for the Week (And Cake Boys Episode 6!)

Remember how we hosted our church’s high schoolers for “Huddle” each Sunday night during the ’11-’12 school year? When school started this year, we were deep in the midst of Matt traveling many weekends for York College soccer, as well as being very involved in our city league soccer (Matt is currently president of the board) and of course our boys play and/or referee. I’ve talked about it plenty – you know our family eats, sleeps, and breathes, and loves soccer from August until November. 

During those months, we still wanted to be a part of Huddle, so we loved it that our friends hosted and fed the kids – and Matt and I just got to show up! Now that life has settled down a tiny bit for us, it’s our turn again! 

This morning I made Baked Oatmeal, using this recipe – baking it in a pyrex dish for about 25 minutes.

Here’s what we’ll be feeding the teens tonight, and what our family will be eating the rest of the week:

Sunday, November 11
Baked oatmeal, pears
Roasted chicken, potatoes, carrots, gravy
 Huddle – Cheesy salsa enchiladas, spanish rice, tossed salad, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

Monday, November 12
Warm pumpkin soother, toast
Tomato soup, grilled cheese sandwiches, fruit
Chicken alfredo with pasta, steamed broccoli and carrots

Tuesday, November 13
Scrambled eggs, whole wheat biscuits, applesauce
Potato soup, zucchini muffins
Teriyaki chicken and veggies with rice

Wednesday, November 14
Blueberry struesel muffins, bananas
Creamy mac and cheese, peas
Calico beans, tossed salad

Thursday, November 15
Coconut flour muffins, pears
Pizza boats, fruit
Cheesy beef and rice, green beans

Friday, November 16
Whole wheat pancakes, fruit
Chicken and noodles, carrots
Taco potatoes, fruit salad

Saturday, November 17
Homemade donuts, fruit
Sloppy joes, potato wedges, peas
Leftovers

And now…Cake Boys Episode 6, in which Justus shares his recipe! And he also uses food coloring. Ugh.  Why yes, we do compromise every once in a while. ;)

Cake Boys Episode 5

It’s been a while since I’ve taken the time to post our boys’ latest Cake Boys Episode. This one was put together a few weeks ago when we welcomed the 6th graders from church into the youth group. Justus thought it would be a nice idea to make a cake in their honor. :)

I’ve heard from many of you that your kids really enjoy watching the Cake Boys videos. For your convenience, I’ve created a link that will make it easy to find all of the episodes easily:

Cake Boys

I will also add the Cake Boys link to our “Search Categories” page. :)

They are already almost finished with Episode 6. Mom is behind on posting, obviously. Our boys are getting great experience in the kitchen, as well as on the computer creating and editing these “shows”. Thank you so much for your support of their efforts. They love watching their “number of views” increase. :)

Funky Fresh Kitchen Challenge #3 Check In ~ Serve Someone {Barbeque Brisket and Cake Boys Episode 4…But not at the same time.}

I have loved reading all of your comments this week as you’ve been serving friends, family, church members, and neighbors this week. Thank you all for joining with me in this Funky Fresh Service Challenge. I know that many have been blessed this week because of you. God is glorified! If you haven’t yet had the chance to serve someone, join this challenge anytime!

Our family had several friends over on Sunday for a meal and to play games. We served Barbecue Brisket, Baked Potatoes, Green Beans, Cream Cheese Corn, Tossed Salad, and Death by Chocolate.

 It was a blessing to have so many friends here, especially during our busy season. Taking time to relax, play games, and visit was just what we needed.

Later in the week, our boys made cupcakes to hand out to our York College Ladies Soccer Team. They recorded another episode of Cake Boys during the process.

Serving others is always a blessing to our family, and I’m so thankful that our boys are learning to experience this joy as well.

I’d love to hear more about how you were able to serve someone this week! Leave a comment here to share. All comments will be entered in our giveway for two $25 and one $50 gift certificates to the Heavenly Homemakers Shop.
