Cooking and baking

I rarely want to cook or bake anymore because the kids eat so fast and so limitedly and there is so much clean up that it doesn't seem worth it. But today, when I knew I would be home most of the day, I decided to make two things.  I first did stuffed green peppers because Miranda had actually been asking for them and I love them.  She helped make them.  She had one for lunch and they turned out great.

Then I made this cake:

Which is a chocolate cake with peanut butter cream cheese frosting with a chocolate peanut butter ganache. It was three steps which was kinda of a pain but Miranda helped again with the cakes and I just finished it:

Much thicker than the one above, without the fancy stand and my ganache got a little crazy but I bet it tastes good. We shall see after dinner!
