Seasonal Allergies

I'm so disappointed.
I had thought the boys had escaped the wrath of my seasonal allergies.
Boy, was I wrong!
Poor Max is waking up with bloody noses, which the doc says is attributed to his allergies. William is a bear lately, and has been sneezing up a storm.
I, of course, am miserable as usual. I can't wait for this season to be over! Though, of course that means higher temps in the summer time.

On the plus side, my seedlings are growing fantastically, and at some point I'll get to get outside and plant them!

It's my birthday, and I'll have cake if I want it!

Ah, Devil's Food Cake...

This time, I made the cupcakes into a real cake, and instead of using shortening - I subbed Coconut Oil, because I was out of shortening. Have been for awhile! This cake was so moist, and so rich - I couldn't finish the piece the husband cut for me!

I made No Cook Fudge Frosting to top it off with, because adding some Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips just wasn't enough overkill on the chocolate front, lol.

You're going to have to email for the recipe, cause I don't want to get into any trouble! It's the first recipe I haven't had to alter from my cookbook, lol. I added strawberries in the center, and it melted the fudge frosting just right... perfect.
