I was trying to replicate a recipe my mom made when we were at my parents' house last week. I tried this Fried Onion Topped Macaroni and Cheese and it is definitely a keeper!
My older daughter had her "Chopped"-style baking competition in her homeschool cooking class on Thursday. She made these Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Muffins and they turned out very well.
In that same flavor family, I pinned this Buckeye Peanut Butter Fudge Cake that I think might be my choice for my birthday cake this year!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
When's your birthday? Because I'm coming over for a piece of that cake! The cake I'm planning to make for my birthday is similar, but instead of the peanut butter layer, it has a peppermint layer. And it is even topped with ganache!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the first link about the 40 Hanger Closet, although I probably won't do that. And I printed out the muffin recipe. Yum! Is it only good for snacks? Won't it do for breakfast, as well? What do you think?
My birthday is April 7th; when is yours? Seems like I should know that from before....
DeleteThe muffins would be great for breakfast, too, I think. I had one while they were still warm and the chocolate chips were all melty - yum!!
I have a weakness for muffins. I also made these muffins earlier this week - http://www.delish-blog.com/2010/04/glazed-mini-lemon-poppy-seed-muffins/print/ - though I made them regular size instead of mini. I really liked them, too!
Isn't that funny?! My birthday is the 14th!
DeleteI may give those muffins a try for breakfast this week; I'm always looking for a good muffin recipe. And I will certainly check out the lemon poppy seed muffins you recommend, too. Thanks!
I LOOOOOOOOOVE the idea of a "Chopped"-style baking competition!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Thanks for the link on Goodwill - she had a lot of great tips!
