Stuffed Mushrooms

What a week! I cannot believe its almost over.  After my engine light came on and I found out nothing was wrong with it, my engine light came back on again! I have no idea why and I am to the point where I think I will let it run its course and see what happens. 

Anyways...This is just a quick post but if you are having a party this weekend here is a great appetizer.  Stuffed Spinach and Artichoke stuffed mushrooms. These are amazing!  They are very simple and quick to make and if you need any ideas for an appetizer this is simple, easy and very tasty!

I forgot to mention I added breadcrumbs to the top.  Let me know if  you try these!

Butterfinger like Cupcakes

Ahh the joys of a Monday morning.  I hope everyone had a nice weekend.  My was filled with games, food and a B-movie.  I love watching B-Horror movies. If you need a good laugh check them out trust me. 

So I wanted to save this for later, but for some reason I have been obsessed with cupcakes lately and wanted to share this one with you. I hope one day I can open a cupcake shop.  How awesome would that be?! So this cupcake is a Butterfinger like Cupcake, its soo good! I saw it in the new Food Network Magazine.   I cheated and didn't make the cupcake batter from scratch due to the fact that I cannot find Dutch Process Coco anywhere in my area. I even tried Trader Joes and they didn't have it.  I used a Pillsbury devils cake mix with pudding added.  It was my first time boiling sugar and I don't think my topping came out like Food Networks, but it tasted really good and everybody still loved it.  So here it is


I will post the recipe soon, but you need to run out and get the February/March addition of the Food Network Magazine.  They have a whole section on cupcakes that tastes like candy bars! YUM!  Enjoy!

Baked Shells Casserole and Pumpkin Whoopie Pies!!

Yay for yummy food! So I am slowly getting used to this whole blogging thing.  Its a ton of fun and please stay with me as I get used to this.  What a day today! My engine light came on, so now I have to bring my car in and make arrangements to get places, but what better way to make yourself feel better then good food!  I saw the Baked Shells Casserole last week on Rachael Ray and I couldn't get it out of my head.  I was so excited to try it.  I normally use whole wheat pasta but I could not find them in the shell form so I went with regular shells.  Overall this dish was amazing! It would be a great night meal or great for entertaining. Trust me you have to try this dish. Also I made these awhile ago, but Pumpkin Whoopie pies.  These are fun and and easy to make, also great for a get together. I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think!

Happy New Year! Finally A new post-Thai Chicken Pizza!

Hello to all!!!! It has been quite some time since I last made an update to this blog and I am sorry for that, but no excuses! Its a new year and its time to get movin! I am totally excited to tell you about this dish. It is Thai chicken Pizza from Rachael Ray.  She made this on her 30 minute meal show awhile ago and my mom saw it and wanted  me to make it.  We have been making it for years! My mom was in town last weekend and she asked me to make this and I love it so much I couldn't help but make it.  I did do a few changes.  I put everything on the pizza except for the cucumbers and cilantro and baked it all together.  Make sure you find bean spouts in your produce section.  I used canned, but they just don't taste as good. If you can only find canned (which is why I used canned) just make sure you dry them out really good otherwise your crust will get really wet.    This dish is very easy and I would advise everyone to try it!  Enjoy!.
