It's no secret that I love food. I also love trying new recipes! Since adopting my recipe selection criteria, I've found my menu planning to be a far easier and quick endeavor! I wouldn't think that plotting that out would make a difference, but it really has! being able to quickly plan meals and evaluate recipes means I have some free time to try new things.
This week, it was a dessert! Saturday, my mother in law and our very good friend took TroubleMaker out to look at Christmas lights. After, they all came back to our house for hot chocolate. I decided that we needed something "Christmassy" to go with it! I'd seen the recipe in a magazine and decided it would be the perfect fit! Gingerbread Cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese Icing! They were DELISH and the perfect expression of Christmas in a tiny white wrapper!
I'll be sharing the recipe, more pictures and our "review" on the recipe

Mexican chicken sounds good, but I would have to add about ten million spices and other things. I'm a kitchen sink cooker! :)
ReplyDeleteJen... Me too. I like the foundation the Kraft recipes provide but we find them bland... I've got a cupboard full of spices and I know how to use them! Thanks for popping in! I love your idea of a baked potato bar! YUM!
