Margarita Cupcakes & Masshole Mommy
Hey, there’s wrong with a little booze in your cupcakes every now and then, right? Admittedly, I’m not much of a baker, but every now and then I can pull off something that’s just pure awesomeness. Hence these amazing margarita cupcakes. They’re a little bit of work, but trust me, these are well worth it. I think they’re perfect for a night with the girls – or do what I do, down about six of them on a stressful day after the kids are in bed. This recipe combines the best of both worlds: eating sweets and booze.
Scalloped Hasselback Potatoes
“Scalloped” is an attractive word, isn’t it? When I hear it I think of several things: first, there’s scallops, as in the seafood—totally delicious. Then there’s the scalloped shape that can live on the edge of a pair of shorts or on the collar of a woman’s blouse—always pretty and dainty. And of course scalloped potatoes also comes to mind, which carries my imagination to a land of crispy potato skins drenched in a sea of cheese and cream. I can think of no better place to exist, actually.

Design Crush & Popsicles!

Stephanies Kitchen – Snickerdoodle Cupcakes w/Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting - StumbleUpon
My kids have been running around the house like chickens with their heads cut off. Tornados really. I don’t know if it is because we got our usual winter snowstorm in early spring, or if they are just tired of being in the house. Maybe a combination of both.
Make Your Own Girl Scout Cookies
Make Your Own Girl Scout Cookies, Sans The Artificial Ingredients Whether you want to avoid some of the highly-processed ingredients (like trans fats and palm oil) or you just can’t wait for the annual cookie sale, we’ve got some simple ways to make healthier versions of these classic treats. Why Make Your Own Though Girl Scout cookies boxes say “trans-fat free,” the term is officially defined by the FDA as a food that contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving, meaning some varieties — including uber-popular Thin Mints, Samoas and Tagalongs — still contain trace amounts of the fat. The giveaway: Look for “partially-hydrogenated” on the ingredient list. That ingredient list also contains palm oil and preservatives — your homemade ones will just taste better. 2 Recipes, 5 Different Girl Scout Cookies Many of the favorite Girl Scout cookies begin with the same base: The classic shortbread cookie.
Chiles Rellenos Recipe
Thanks for the recipe & deseeding/frying tips! I'm Chicana but I have only attempted the chile relleno (my *favorite* Mexican food) a couple of times, due to the many steps! After stuffing 3 peppers &, I got inspired to deconstruct this further, and made a sort of chile pancake (egg foo young?). Put the egg stuff in the pan, topped with chopped (roasted, peeled) chile, minced onion; flipped to cook the other side, topped with more onion, lots of cheese, and topped with enchilada sauce.
Spinach Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Earlier on in the week, when I made the spinach, or spanakopita pesto pasta I made sure to keep some of the pesto left over for something new. I had come across the idea of using a pesto in a grilled cheese sandwich and it was the perfect time to try one. I have been experimenting with grilled cheese sandwiches for a while now.

It’s September, so apples are on the brain, can you tell? With apple cards, candy apples, yarn apples, I can’t seem to get enough. Well, as I was browsing Pinterest, which I’m addicted to, I came across this post from Muses of Megret on baking your cupcakes into Valentine hearts. It’s such a cute and clever way to bake these! It sparked a thought that this method would also make the perfect shape for an apple as well. So here are apple cupcakes, cute as ever!
