Ok, It's official. I'm moving to Wordpress. This Weekend! I'm so excited. I'm so scared. Hopefully everything will go smoothly. I've got the greatest gal in the world handling it for me. I've already been such a pest and she's just taking it all with grace. Every 15 minutes I think of something else, so little detail I want her to know about. I just pop off another e-mail to her. I don't ever say hi now, Just "Can we do this? Thanks" Now thank you, no hug. I have made sure to tell her she's wonderful and awesome a few times already.<br>

It's Thursday! (ok, almost, you all know what I mean.) It's also almost Easter, and Passover has already started...oh and let's not forget Spring Break! My brain might be just a little frazzled. Have I mentioned I'm making the move from Blogger to Wordpress? NEXT WEEK! So yes, I'm completely frazzled, and worried and stressed, and I know I need to do this and I know it will be worth it, and I know I'll be so happy with it all once it's done.<br>
<br>
I know I'm gonna need a lot of chocolate!<br>
<br>
So let's get this party started,<br>

I had to make these bars. My reputation depended on it.<br>
<br>
You know your kids are proud of you when they show your site off to their friends. My son came home the other day from school and asked me to make a treat for his class. My son is in High School! Really, I asked? Why?<br>
<br>
"Well Mom, we got done our work early in class (his AP History class) and we we're playing around on the internet and I showed everyone your site. Even the teacher was looking. They want you to make something. They want the Hot Chocolate cookies."<br>

Did you know that it's American Chocolate Week? It's ok, I didn't either but who am I to object to a week dedicated to chocolate.<br />
<br />
I was so excited to be chosen to go to Walmart for the Delicious Pairing of Starbucks and the Bakery at Walmart. They were even having a demo of <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Starbucks-Mocha-Ground-Coffee-11-oz/23555007" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Starbucks Mocha Blend Coffee</a>! Yup, sign me up! Starbucks coffee is a treat in our house, reserved for the weekends. Lazy Sunday mornings.<br />

If you have any type of website on the internet and want people searching to be able to find you, you want to be using Google Plus. I know, we've all been hearing the talk. Google Plus is better than Facebook or Twiiter. And it is. Function Wise. You can tag people using the <span id="goog_1483109337"></span>+name like <a class="g-profile" href="http://plus.google.com/114989139778979906911" target="_blank">+Joan Hayes</a> and add Hashtags to make your posts more searchable like #chocolate #food #craft #google Whatever key words you want to add.<br>
<br>
But sometimes seeing is believing. So I did a little testing today. I searched for my top post <a href="http://www.chocolatechocolateandmore.com/2013/01/cherry-white-chocolate-pudding-cookies.html" target="_blank">Cherry White Chocolate Pudding Cookies</a> in Google.<br>

I'm still enjoying Lemon, don't worry I'll have chocolate back next week. And this one is low calorie, almost sugar free so we might be able to call it a .... healthy dessert.<br>
<br>
One of the things I love about my kids all being in school (besides the fact that they are getting an education) is, I get some me time every day. I know, during that me time, I'm supposed to be cleaning, doing laundry, running errands...haha, are you laughing yet? I know if my hubby reads this, the neighbors will be able to hear his laughter. <br>

Spring! Today's the first day of spring! Why is it that we've got a freeze warning for tonight then? I'm ready for warmer weather, flowers blooming, the smell of fresh cut grass, allergies...OK, I can probably wait a few more days.<br>

Last week I was all about Lime, this week it seems I'm going to be all about Lemon.<br>
<br>
I get in moods. I know we all get moody, cranky, happy, excited, yeah. But I'm talking about food moods. As much as I love chocolate, I can go weeks without even wanting any. I know hard to imagine but it happens. Sometimes my moods will go with the seasons, Summer time=fresh veggies. Makes sense, and also a good thing since I,m trying to get into a bathing suit or just walk around in shorts. I need to try and cut back on a few calories.<br>

It's spring! At least I'm pretending spring is here. If I could just get the weather to cooperate. Such a tease, have a day or two of 70 degrees and then bam! It's freezing cold again and I'm having to dig out the turtlenecks and sweaters. I really wish the weather would make up it's mind.<br>

A great group of bloggers have gotten together and we're giving away a CAMERA! A Nikon D3100 and a 35 mm Lens. All the specs on the camera and lens are at the bottom of the post. This is a dream camera to have. Fully automatic or if you know what you're doing you can take it off auto and the possibilities are endless.<br>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been labeled Pi Day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> π</span></div>
Well, mathematicians are calling it Pi day. You know that number, represented by the cute symbol, that never ends, that they wanted you to memorize in school and then use in math problems. That number that most of us have never used since our days in math class. 3.141592653 blah, blah, blah.<br>
<br>
For foodies, Pi Day is just a great reason to make and eat Pie. Pie Day. It works for me.<br>

You know I love to make muffins for the kids. It's one of those made from mom, I cared enough to make sure you have a good breakfast foods, that they can grab on the run.<br>
<br>
I have 2 children that love Cranberries. They will fight over the cranberry jelly and the cranberry casserole at holidays. My youngest can sit on the sofa, after school and eat an entire bag of Crasins. I knew these muffins would be a huge hit with them.<br>

So who gets all green for St. Patty's Day? Honestly, I'm really not that into the holiday. When we were kids it was fun to go around pinching people who forgot to wear green but otherwise...it's just another day. There is a big bonus to the holiday and that the food. I love any excuse to eat special food, especially sweets so I was all in when Jen from <a href="http://www.blogger.com/1.%20%3Ca%20title=%22Key%20Lime%20Pie%20Pound%20Cake%22%20href=%22http://www.chocolatechocolateandmore.com/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3EKey%20Lime%20Pound%20Cake%3C/a%3E%20by%20Joan%20at%20Chocolate%20Chocolate%20&amp;%20More%202.%20%3Ca%20title=%22Mini%20Banoffee%20Pie%20Tarts%22%20href=%22http://www.kellybakes.com/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3EMini%20Banoffee%20Pie%20Tarts%3C/a%3E%20by%20Kelly%20at%20Kelly%20Bakes%203.%20%3Ca%20title=%22Chocoalte%20Bailey's%20Mousse%20Tart%22%20href=%22http://gottagetbaked.com/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3EChocolate%20Bailey's%20Mousse%20Tart%3C/a%3E%20from%20Nancy%20at%20Gotta%20Get%20Baked%204.%20%3Ca%20title=%22Irish%20Carbomb%20Cupcakes%22%20href=%22http://girlinthelittleredkitchen.com/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3EIrish%20Carbomb%20Cupcakes%3C/a%3E%20from%20Susan%20at%20Girl%20in%20the%20Little%20Red%20Kitchen%205.%20%3Ca%20title=%22Pistachio%20Caramel%20Cookies%22%20href=%22http://www.jensfavoritecookies.com/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3EPistachio%20Caramel%20Cookies%3C/a%3E%20from%20Jen%20at%20Jen's%20Favorite%20Cookies%206.%20%3Ca%20title=%22Guinness%20Stout%20Mini%20Bundt%20Cakes%22%20href=%22http://www.pineappleandcoconut.com/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3EGuinness%20Stout%20Mini%20Bundt%20Cake%3C/a%3E%20from%20Shanna%20at%20Pineapple%20and%20Coconut%207.%20%3Ca%20title=%22Irish%20Cheese%20and%20Bacon%20Cheesecake%22%20href=%22http://www.chocolatemoosey.com/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3EIrish%20Cheese%20and%20Bacon%20Cheesecake%20with%20Walnut%20Crust%3C/a%3E%20by%20Carla%20at%20Chocolate%20Moosey%208.%20%3Ca%20title=%22Bailey's%20Irish%20Cream%20Cheese%20Trifle%22%20href=%22http://hungrycouplenyc.blogspot.com/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3EBailey's%20Irish%20Cream%20Cheese%20Trifle%3C/a%3E%20from%20Anita%20at%20Hungry%20Couple%20NYC%209.%20%3Ca%20title=%22Key%20Lime%20Pie%20Ice%20Cream%22%20href=%22http://magnoliadays.com/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3EKey%20Lime%20Pie%20Ice%20Cream%3C/a%3E%20from%20Renee%20at%20Magnolia%20Days%2010.%20%3Ca%20title=%22Pistachio%20Mousse%20Cups%22%20href=%22http://www.cravingsofalunatic.com/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3EPistachio%20Mousse%20Cups%3C/a%3E%20from%20Kim%20at%20Cravings%20of%20a%20Lunatic%2011.%20%3Ca%20title=%22Irish%20Eggs%20Benedict%22%20href=%22http://www.crumbblog.com/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3EIrish%20Eggs%20Benedict%3C/a%3E%20from%20Isabelle%20Crumb%20Blog%2012.%20%3Ca%20title=%22Cookie%20Stacks%22%20href=%22http://www.bigbearswife.com/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3ESt.%20Patrick's%20Day%20Cookie%20Stack%3C/a%3E%20from%20Angie%20at%20Big%20Bears%20Wife%2013.%20%3Ca%20title=%22Guinness%20Chocolate%20Cake%22%20href=%22http://jcocina.com/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3EGuinness%20Chocolate%20Cake%3C/a%3E%20from%20Jen%20at%20Juanita's%20Cocina%2014.%20%3Ca%20title=%22Irish%20Potato%20Oatmeal%20Bread%22%20href=%22http://yummysmells.blogspot.com/%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3EIrish%20Potato%20Oatmeal%20Bread%3C/a%3E%20from%20Sarah%20at%20Yummy%20Smells">Jen's Favorite Cookies</a> invited me to participate in a St. Patty's post.<br>

We have this little cupcake bakery here in town. They make the most unbelievable Key Lime Cupcakes. I'd eat them by the dozen if I could afford to. Sadly, the bakery has overhead, blah, blah, blah and one cupcake is about $2.50. Two cupcakes for $5.00, sorry, no way. And they're tiny. The cake part doesn't even fill up the paper wrapper. I'm glad they're doing well, I do try to support local, I'm just not going to shell out the bucks for something I can make myself.<br>

O know it's not sugar. Don't get all upset with me, I'll have more sugar soon but my family needs to eat.<br>
<br>
As a family of 5, we don't eat out for fast food too often. Paying almost $30.00 for fast food for dinner, I don't think so. If we're going to go out, I want a real restaurant, Someone to come to the table and take my order, bring me a salad and some bread then usually some sort of fish (since I don't cook fish at home.) I want real silverware, not plastic, maybe a cocktail before dinner, and I don't want to clean off the table before we leave. If it's a night off from cooking, I want a real night off.<br>

Another week already. I love all the great links everyone brings to the party, thank you all so much for coming back each week. Before we get to this week's party, I have a favor to ask of you. I wasn't going to mention it but I've been nominated for The <a href="http://voiceboks.com/category/food-blogger/" target="_blank">Top 10 Food Blogs</a> from Voice Boks. There are a total of 50 of us there, many blogs I really admire so I'm totally honored to be among them.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://voiceboks.com/category/food-blogger/" target="_blank"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LaKvvp_17Io/UTfegU1ginI/AAAAAAAAKyk/QfqdM_FrCxM/s1600/Top-10-Food-Blogs-2013.png" title=""></a></div>
<br>
I saw them asking for nominations a few months back and never thought anything about it. Then about 2 weeks ago, I got an e-mail that my blog had been nominated and then selected. I wasn't going to do anything but after thinking on it, someone else took the time to put my name out there, I should care about this as much as they did. So if you have a moment, can you pop over to <a href="http://voiceboks.com/category/food-blogger/" target="_blank">Voice Boks</a> and click on the little thumbs up for me? Let's make whoever nominated me proud to have done so.<br>

It's March. I'm so ready for spring to be here. How about you? It's funny, December, January and the beginning of February really weren't that bad, cold wise. We had a few days that you just wanted to stay bundled in bed under all the covers but really, nothing terrible. These last couple of weeks? Burrrrrrr!<br>
<br>
I need some spring in my life. Or at least some spring color. Yellow. Lemon. Sugar Cookies. Yes, this will bring a little spring into my kitchen. I love making cookie bars. So fast and easy. Tastes just like a cookie but in bar form. They look so pretty and take almost no time to make up a batch. Perfect for a party or a potluck.<br>

It's time for Thursday's Treasures. I'm so glad you all came and linked up last week. I was sick as a dog and didn't do any cooking or baking since last week's party. I'm not sure what I had but it's mostly gone now except for a cough. I probably lost 10 pounds from just not wanting to eat. I think the worst thing about being sick is having the hubby and the kids in the kitchen instead of me. I wanted them to eat but they just don't clean up the way I would. I finally got in there today and scrubbed everything down, put things away where they needed to go, took inventory and I'll be back in the kitchen tomorrow.<br>

Maybe I should call these rainy day cookies.<br>
<br>
We had a ton of rain just a week ago. Now it's going to rain all weekend, again. The rivers and creeks are flooding. Luckily we live on the top of the hill and not near any running water (other than the drainage ditches on the sides of the road.)<br>

I'm back! In case you missed it, I had the privilege of chaperoning on the 5th grade Washington DC trip. Amazing, exhausting, educational, full of good times and great memories. I went with my son five years ago and I just couldn't believe how some things had changed. Just goes to show, even if you've been someplace before you can always find something new to see. <br><br>Last week had so many fantastic links shared. I think I drooled a little over some of them. I love all the creativity you can find in the blogging world. Thank you for sharing with us each week.<br>

Cookies for breakfast? Oh yeah baby, you heard me. Why not. I remember going on a big family vacation with my sister years ago and she let her kids have Rice Krispie Treats for breakfast. Why not, they're made from cereal. I started looking at my sister in a whole new light that day. After all, she had 3 kids, I only had 2 at the time. Looking back now, she was on to something.<br>

So busy. My youngest and I leave for Washington DC in the morning. Early. I mean really early. We have to be up at the school by 5 am. And today is Valentine's Day. We're not big on Valentine's although I do buy some candy and usually play with some chocolate for dessert. </div>

Tomorrow is Valentine's so Happy Valentine's to you all!<br>
<br>
I'm busy in packing mode. The youngest and I are leaving way too early Friday Morning for her class trip to Washington DC. I'm one of those people that hates to come home to a dirty house, dirty laundry, chores to do. I know it's hopeless since I'm leaving the hubby and 2 teenagers behind but I still have to try. At least I know everyone will have some clean clothes to get the week started. I'll deal with what I have to when I get back. It's going to be a great trip, a good group of kids going and so much to do. They've even squeezed in a trip to Baltimore for the day.<br>

Valentine's Day is almost here. We don't do much around here, a little chocolate is sure to make an appearance but my kids are at that age where they're too old for all the kiddie stuff but too young to be into the romance side of the holiday (thankfully.) No boyfriends or girlfriends to worry about yet. Grace is the closest we come to that.<br>

Report cards came home last week. Luckily, in my house, it's always a reason to celebrate. All three kids made A Honor Roll. The perfect reason for cake. This time I decided to go with an Icebox Cake using Cool Whip Chocolate Frosting.<br />
<br />
My kids are 15, 13 and 10. I've got one in each school.<br />
