Sunflowers, Sweet Potatoes, Lemon Trees & Cream Puffs Galore!

Hey, guys! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was a lot of fun. My boyfriend and I went to see the new It movie, so expect a review of that to come soon. 😀 Since my previous post was about scary clowns, I thought I’d mix it up with something a little sweeter before delving back into that. 😛

Speaking of sweet, check out this growing sweet potato bush from the green house. I feel like with Fall quickly approaching I’m running outta time to share these gardening photos so pardon this random post.

We’re also growing two different types of lemon trees in the green house. They’ve been doing really well so far this Summer, but we’re going to have to move them inside pretty soon so they survive the coming winter.

So, plant business aside, I’ve been meaning to share the photos of those cream puffs I mentioned making before for my dad’s birthday. 🙂 Here’s some of the Work In Progress pics, and then the final product, topped with powdered sugar and filled with a light and fluffy cream filling.

Here they are as little dough balls, ready to go into the oven

    1. Thank you! 😀 Cream puffs are sooo good, but I’d never tried baking them myself before, and I think I’d try a different recipe if I ever do it again. Or maybe just tweak with the ingredients because I thought the shells turned out a bit “eggy” tasting. They weren’t bad, but I feel like they weren’t the flavor I was aiming for. Oh well, you live and you learn. lol

    1. Haha, if you do, it will be a different recipe than these ones. 😛 They turned out a wee bit “eggy” tasting for my liking. They were still pretty good, but not as good as a proper cream puff ought to be. lol
