Peanut Butter Stuffed Hot Fudge Cupcakes
Well… it is Fat Tuesday. Did you expect anything less from me? I made these cupcakes Friday afternoon to have for dinner on Friday night. So I stuffed the cupcakes, which was really easy! I’m the kind of person that just likes a big blob of frosting on the top of a cupcake. No spreading needed. That’s what I thought too. Much better. Preferably of the anything-but-skim variety.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars
If you want to relive your childhood, have one of these bars. They are basically a peanut butter and jelly explosion. I binged on peanut butter and jelly in my preschool and kindergarten years. For years after, any combination of peanut butter + jelly was extremely unappealing. I grew out of that phase at some point in highschool, rediscovering that joy that is peanut butter and jelly. And then I rediscovered it again last night. The thick peanut butter layer on the bottom just melts in your mouth. These bars are not for the faint of heart. Mr. When Mr. At that point I love to ask ‘what the heck are you doing in there that you are so quiet?!’ ‘Twas the situation last night, but I joined in on the fun. The final verdict? At first we thought they may need more jelly, but after multiple tastings, we decided that they have the perfect amount. A third of the dough gets crumbled on top of the jelly before baking, which gives the dense bar a nice crumbly top. Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars 2 eggs
Step-by-Step: Homemade Fruit Leather – Tasty Kitchen Blog
When it comes to making homemade fruit leather, I will confess that I have been totally and completely intimidated. I mean, how does one even accomplish such a task? How does fruit go from actual fruit to … leather? With that being said, I spent half of my youth chewing fruit roll-ups and consequently trying to rot my teeth, so I knew that this fruit leather had to be mastered. My mom would stock up on different flavors of fruit leather and it would often disappear within the week. When I came across Georgia’s recipe for Homemade Fruit Leather, I just couldn’t resist. While the entire recipe is a bit time-consuming, it is quite easy. These are the only ingredients you need: strawberries (or fruit of your choice), a lemon, water and sugar. The first step is to cut the fruit into small pieces. Make sure you taste test your fruit to see how sweet it is. Slice your lemon and grab a bowl for juicing purposes. Squeeze your lemon to extract the juice. It should come out looking saucy. 1. 2. 4.
One Bowl Vanilla Cupcakes For Two
Let’s face it: sometimes we all need a dessert that only makes two servings. Sometimes we just can’t handle 12 servings. Sometimes we eat them all by ourselves. Sometimes we eat them all by ourselves in two hours. Sometimes we eat them all by ourselves in a matter of minutes. FYI: I have no idea what that is like. Haven’t you always wished you could make just enough dessert for yourself? Or… just yourself? Me too. But more often than not, I’ve found it to be a hassle to drag out the mixer, cream the sugar and butter, sift the dry ingredients and all that fun stuff for a measly two cupcakes. What can I say? Well, I was lazy. It is definitely your typical white cake; fluffy and soft, full of vanilla flavor, and the perfect vehicle for some fluffy white frosting. And it only takes one bowl! I think what I love most about these cupcakes is their customizability.

Mini Fruit Pies
I love pie. I love eating pie, I love making pie, I love nearly all vartities of pie! The only problem with pie is that the crust always seems to get soggy before we can eat it all — there are just 2 of us you know. So today — as I was contemplating whether or not I should make a pie (and knowing that my husband would definitly want me to make a pie) — I decided to try something new… … mini pies! I figured that if I made mini pies, I could make as many as we needed and I could customize the filling so everyone got their favorite pie. Not sure why I didn’t think of this sooner? Anyway, mini pies are extremely easy and take less than 20 minutes to bake (half that of most full pies) Ingredients: Pie Crust Dough — I used store bought refrigerated crust but feel free to use homemadeFilling — choose your favorite pie fillings and make mini batches of each one (or use canned filling) Directions: Use a biscuit cutter to create mini pie crusts — cut as many or as few as you want What is your favorite pie?
