Neapolitan Coconut Cupcake

I really think Lorie at  Be Different Act Normal is amazing

she always has unbelievable crafts and recipes.

and today she had a picture of these...

made by her

and now that I have MY KITCHEN-AID working

I was pretty sure I needed to go and check out her blog.

Kristan, who is the Cookbook Queen

not only has some great recipes but oh my gosh she made me laugh

and she shared some pretty fun Rules...

or as Kristan calls them

"Bloggers Code of Ethics"

one of her codes is you can share a picture or the recipe but not both

so you will have to visit her to get it...

Pretty darn fun blog and AWESOME recipes.

OH SO HAPPY

Do you remember when I told you that my Kitchen-Aid died (blog reminder)

Well, I started tearing my mixer apart to see if I could find a problem...

I had most of  it taken apart and on my counter, when I opened the two little black "screws" inside were located

the "mixer brushes" one on each side.

When I was looking I noticed one had a little nick on the black piece. I asked Kirk about it, I knew he would know if this could be a problem.

He said, "Yes, if the brushes are bad it will not work."

So, I got on-line and started looking to see if  I could find the brushes

Of all the places I found them on Ebay.

I ordered them and today they arrived (you have to have one for each side).

And when they were put into the mixer....

IT WORKED!!!!!

My KITCHEN-AID works!!!

and for less than $10.00 w/ shipping.

I am a very happy person.

Completely Confused

Did you know that a Kitchen Aid mixers could die???

Well, they do!!!!

I have been in a state of shock...more than just shock...I do not know how to cook/bake with out it!!!

If you do not follow Be Different...Act Normal you have been missing out.

She posted this awesome looking Cinnamon Sweet Bread.

I could hardly wait to make it....
