The Quest
I’m on a mission… A coconut cake mission to be precise. My hubby had this amazing Coconut Cake when he was in elementary school, and ever since then, he has wanted to find this coconut cake that he remembers from his childhood. This has posed an interesting quest for me, as we didn’t go to the same elementary school, and I have no idea what the coconut cake tasted like. So I’m scouring yard sales in the area and looking for vintage cookbooks that just might have the beloved coconut cake recipe.
Wish me luck and check back to see the awesome vintage coconut cakes as they make their way into Nico’s kitchen.

My best friend and amazing cake baker/blogger Stacey paid us a visit this week. I knew it was her, before she even made it our of her car, as Dylan spotted her car while looking out the front door, and started screaming “STACEY STACEY STACEY!!!!!!” I had guessed that she probably brought along a cake too, because Dylan started screaming “STACEY CAKES!!!!” really loudly.
Oh yum! Smiley Chocolate Cake!!!
Dylan says: Stacey spoils us rotten!
Thanks again to Stacey for the tasty cake!

Any Day Sundae
What do you do with 3 brownies that need to be used right away???
Make some brownie sundaes for the kiddos.
I raided the pantry to find some sprinkles, and I grabbed some Chocolate Sauce, and Vanilla Ice Cream from the freezer.
The kiddos loved them, and it made good use of the leftover brownies too.

Last weekend we went to the Good Ol’ Days…
We had a great time at the festival. We took a Trolley Ride, and it was really fun. We walked around downtown for a little bit, and stopped off to watch the Dock Dogs show.
The boy’s enjoyed a tasty Cherry Sno-Cone, and James treated us all to a yummy lunch too. I had roasted corn, too good.
I had a super yummy Giant Lemonade!
I also got really sunburned too…
Sunburn aside the Good Ol’ Days were really fun. We all agreed that the Trolley Ride was the best part though. While riding the Trolley we learned a lot about our town, and we got to hear all about the old homes and structures, many were from the 1890’s. The kids enjoyed the ride too, and it was nice and breezy on the Trolley.
We also liked that they waved the entrance fee into the Good Ol’ Days this year, I hope that this tradition will carry into the next year too. It looks like there was a great turn-out too.
