Recipes we love: Lime Cupcakes!

Lime cupcakes with Mango Buttercream frosting!

What you need:

• 1 box of yellow cake mix
• 3 limes (1 1/2 of these will go into the frosting)
• 1/2 c. sweetened lime juice
• 1/2 c. vegetable oil
• lime jello
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 c. water

For icing:

• 1 mango
• 4 - 5 c. powdered sugar
• 8 Tbs. Crisco or all vegetable shortening 
• 8 Tbs. butter, softened
• 1 t sweetened lime juice

Instructions for cake:

1. Preheat oven to 325° for non stick (350° for regular or dark pans)
2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix & lime jello mix (do not actually make the jello, you just want to put the powder into the mix)
3. Add to that the juice of half a lime, the sweetened lime juice, water, and oil. (TIP TIME: To ensure moist cupcakes, always add a little more oil than what the recipe calls for. You will always have the best cupcakes in town!)
4. When combines together your cupcake mix should be a lime green color.
5. Make sure that the cupcake pan is lined with your choice of liner. You can get crazy with the colors or just get plain white liners. It's up to you! We got our liners at our local craft store for under $2!
6. Pour mix until the liners are about 3/4 full.
7. Put into oven for about 20 minutes.

Instructions for icing:

1. Cut up 1 mango into small cubes.
2. In a blender, combine the mango and the other half of lime you have into a puree. It's okay if you have some little chunks of mango, it makes the icing really tasty! (Note: it should come out to be 1/4 c. of puree. If you have a little more than that, it's okay!)
3. Put softened butter and shortening into large mixing bowl. Cream them together until it is almost white and very fluffy! (This is the key to making great buttercream icing!)
4. Mix in Mango puree. Beat until incorporated fully.
5. Slowly mix in powdered sugar. Whenever you stop to put more in, make sure that the sides are scraped down! You want to have everything mixed nicely together.
6. Add to icing the juice of one lime and a teaspoon of sweetened lime juice.
7. When this is all done, the icing should be nice and fluffy!

You can ice your cupcakes however you like! Lacey put the icing into a piping bag and put the icing on that way. We thought about this step afterwards, but if you would like extra decoration, you can take the last lime you have and slice it very thin, spilt it halfway down the middle, and twist! We hope you try this recipe of ours and enjoy it!

Recipes we love: Coleslaw and Pizza Pillows!

We love making homemade meals and are always trying out new things. Tonight we decided to make one of our favorites along with something we've wanted to try for a long time.

Side dish: Coleslaw!

The first thing you need to do is gather all of your ingredients, bowls, and utensils that you need!

What you need:
• Bag of coleslaw mix (or you could cut up the cabbage and carrots yourself, which ever you prefer)
• 3/4 c. Mayo
• 1 Tbs. Apple Cider Vinegar (add more if you like)
• 3 Tbs. Sugar
• Celery seed (we used Celery salt because that's all we had!)
• Salt
• Pepper
• Large Mixing Bowl
• Large slotted spoon
• Whisk

Combine mayo and vinegar in bowl first with a whisk.
















Add to this mixture, celery salt, sugar, and salt/pepper to taste.


To this you add your coleslaw mix. At first it may not look like you have enough to coat everything, but the acid in the vinegar helps breakdown the cabbage a tiny bit. Cover with plastic wrap and stick it in the fridge for about half an hour or until fairly cold. Then serve!

Main dish: Sausage Pizza Pillows!

What you need:
• 1 roll of flaky Grands biscuits
• 1 Package of Mozzarella cheese
• 1 roll of mild pork sausage or your favorite sausage crumbles
• Olive oil (we used olive oil spray)
• garlic salt
• Italian seasoning

FIRST: PRE-HEAT THE OVEN TO 425 degrees!

Take a biscuit and stretch it out until it's thin but not too thin. You don't want to be able to see through it but you want it thin enough so that you can wrap it into a ball.














Lay flattened biscuit on cutting board. Put on Mozzarella (you can put as much as you like or as little).







After the cheese, put on the sausage crumbles (you can use whatever kind of meat you like, you could even use pepperoni).












After you have all of the topping that you want on the biscuit, take the sides and fold them up.











Pinch the folds together and mold into a ball.
On top of the ball, put garlic and Italian seasoning.










Put in the oven for 14-18 minutes. If the balls seem to be getting too golden too fast, cover them with tin foil! 


Here is the finished product!!!

You can eat them however you like! We had some marinara sauce in the fridge that we dipped them in, and it was SO GOOD!














We really love cooking and trying out new meals. If you have any questions about how we made these two items, shoot us an email at theweirdsisters.info@gmail.com or post a comment on our Facebook page!! Hope this inspired you to cook instead of going out to eat, because let's face it, there's really nothing better than a home cooked meal!

Adventures: Stop #1!

First off, thank you so much for visiting our page! We have many great things to come, and we hope you stay for the ride!

Now, on to Adventure #1: St. Augustine, FL!

"Look! They're growing sunflowers too!"

Way back in January of 2011, we met in what we would call home for 4 months at Flagler College. To escape boredom during the weekends, we would walk around St. Augustine. Even though we don't go to Flagler College anymore, we fell in love with the city and visit whenever we can! We haven't been back in a while and decided that while we're on vacation we would go back up there. Our first stop was the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Museum.

"We have to climb that?!"

We paid $9.50 per person to walk around the grounds (this includes the lighthouse, lighthouse master's house, and everywhere else that wasn't restricted). There are different prices for children and there are different packages that include a guided tour and other goodies! Anyhow, we walked around and looked at the gardens they have growing and then we tackled the lighthouse.

"Just keep looking up!"

Each flight got steeper and steeper but we eventually made it to the top! And what a view of St. Augustine that was!

"You can see Flagler from here."

"What a view!"

The breeze was lovely, so we decided to stay up there for a while and admire the view.

"We made it to the top!"

After climbing down the lighthouse and walking around the museum part for a little while, we decided to get lunch. Our favorite place to go while at Flagler was The Village Inn! Too bad it wasn't wednesday, because we would have gotten FREE PIE! Besides the amazing pie, we had some amazing food and concluded with a slice of Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, which was delish!

"This is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life. I'm not even kidding."

After lunch we walked down St. George street and browsed through the little shops that we loved to go in. All in all, it was a great day! A little hot, but it's summer in Florida so you just can't escape the heat! If you haven't visited St. Augustine and love quaint little cities with lots of history, we definitely recommend you go! You will have a blast!

Love,

The Weird Sisters, Amber and Lacey
