Black Forest Cupcakes!

I don't know why but Christmas time makes me want to bake and, well eat! haha I found this recipe on food network. I'm not a pop drinker so it was a little weird seeing that there's pop in this recipe but it was still a lot of fun to make!  

ingredients

  • 1 (18.25-ounce) box devil’s food cake mix
  • 1 1/3 cups black cherry soda
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 container vanilla frosting
  • 2 teaspoons cherry extract
  • 1 to 2 drops pink food coloring
  • 24 whole maraschino cherries with stems

directions

  • 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 (12-cup) muffin tins with paper liners.
  • 2 In a large bowl combine cake mix, soda, vegetable oil and eggs. Using a hand mixer combine all ingredients, batter will still be somewhat lumpy. Pour batter into muffin cups. Bake 19 to 22 minutes, turning the pans halfway through baking. Remove to a rack and allow to cool completely.
  • 3 In a large bowl combine frosting, extract and pink food coloring. When cupcakes are cool ice with pink cherry frosting and top each with maraschino cherry

     This recipe was really good! I was worried that you'd be able to taste the pop but you really can't all that much and when you do its kind of refreshing! I think the best part about this cup cake is that its easy to make and it has cherries! I love Cherries! I wish I could be writing this and eating one but my roommates kind of had a feast and ate them all before I could write about it.... Sorry guys! Anyway, please try this and send me pictures or like recipes. I would love to hear from you guys!

Ham and Egg Cups!

So I found this recipe on pinterest awhile ago and have been making them for awhile now and I love them and so does my super picky dad! haha Anyway, its super easy and a ton of fun to eat! If you don't like runny eggs then I suggest you skip over this recipe, but if you love your eggs on a super delicious runny side then keep on reading!

ingredients

  • 12 Eggs
  • 12 thin slices of deli ham (round)
  • 1/2 Cup of your favorite cheese (I used Parmesan or Colby Jack)
  • 1/2 Cup diced scallions
  • Fresh cracked Sea Salt and Pepper

directions

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 400. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Lay a piece of ham in each hole creating a little ham cup. Crack one egg into each hole and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • 2
    Bake the eggs for about 12 minutes…until the white is firm and the yolk is still nice and runny.
  • 3
    Carefully remove each egg from the muffin tin and top with grated cheese and scallions. Serve hot!


     This is a great recipe that's quick and yummy! If you don't like ham then try Turkey its just as good!!! Actually, basically all  lunch meats are good, well maybe not roast beef. I did like salami too! okay anyway, I really think everyone should try this recipe!

    Ta ta for now,
