This week there is so much to be thankful for! Of course I have my normal news, a great job, wonderful healthy kids, a supportive family and amazing friends! But this week I have some news that EVERYONE should here. At 6 months of age our Vice Principal found out her son had cancer. I couldn't imagine as a parent the way her heart must have hurt. She gave up her position as Vice Principal to do what any mom would have BE THERE. 6 months of Chemo(8 rounds) and yesterday they got the call that brought them to their knees. Their precious little boy was cancer free! Of course he will under go monthly checks and be given more love then he can handle but the joy is just overwhelming today and I couldn't be more thankful to see her face this morning. If you pray please pray he continue to stay cancer free and happy! If any family deserves this miracle it is this family and I am so happy for them :O)
Most hard candies call for corn syrup, but since I was out and I have 3 children home I decided to experiment and make something fun! Here is what you need:
2 Cups of Sugar
2 Cups of Water
1 Package Sugar Free Jello
A candy Thermometer
Making candy is a pretty tricky process and trust me I messed up a batch or two getting this to work right.lol Put the sugar and water into the pot and turn on medium whisking well till the sugar is dissolved. Stirring pretty regularly to help the sugar from burning. As the sugar begin to boil turn the heat up to high. Watch your thermometer when the candy reaches 230 pour in the jello continuing to mix. Pour this mixture immediately into a cake pan that is lined with parchment paper of you can rub a little veggie oil in it. The candy will continue to cook as it melts anything over 230 you will be left with a burnt candy that tastes like licorice.lol After you candy is cooled completely turn it out onto a cookie sheet and break apart :O) I like to dust mine …
