Snickerdoodle Cupcakes with Vanilla Swiss Buttercream

-



My house smelled deliciously divine when I made this cupcake back in 2016!

Here's the cupcake scoop!

So I needed a dessert to bring to my man's Dad's for Christmas & I couldn't think of what I was going to bring.  So I scoured my Pinterest board "Cupcake Obsession" for a good cupcake. Much to my delight I found the above pictured (my finished) cupcake!

The flavor: Snickerdoodle!  

Oh My Goodness!  The batter tasted like graham crackers, but also like snickerdoodle cookies!  At first I thought (actually my man suggested) about doing a S'mores cupcake, but I didn't have any marshmallows! So I chose to do a Swiss Buttercream instead.

I used the recipe here: Urban Bakes Snickerdoodle Cupcake, but I found that the batter was a little thicker than I desired so I adapted it & used 10 oz (2 cans) of evaporated milk, knowing me, I probably read a liquid measurement incorrectly! 🤣🤣

I then used the Swiss Buttercream recipe from: (blog I got the recipe from no longer exists so I'll have to find the printed copy to post later!) Spiced Eggnog Cupcakes with Vanilla Rum Swiss Buttercream (I've made these before & they were a hit with my coworkers, I even won a prize for them!)


The Snickerdoodle Cupcakes were a hit!

Much love y'all!

Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Sharing a post from my old blog, this soup was delicious! This wonderful soup was a hit with myself & my man.  He keeps telling me that I am trying to fatten him up with all the good food & the wonderful home made biscuits I've been making lately! This recipe comes from:  http://www.thegunnysack.com/2014/09/slow-cooker-chicken-pot-pie-soup-recipe.html#_a5y_p=2430495 I wanted the soup like yesterday, so I couldn't wait for it to cook up in the slow cooker! So I sauteed the chicken with a little salt, pepper, poultry seasoning & season salt, until it was cooked through. I boiled the potatoes in 2 cups of water until they were cooked through.  I then added the veggies, chicken & cream of chicken soup & heated it through.  I used the amount of cornstarch that the recipe called for to thicken up the soup & since I kept the extra water from the potatoes, I used it to make the slurry to thicken the soup. I'll add the biscuit recipe later, as I don't hav

Pan seared Swai (a tender, hardy, white fish from Vietnam) I put 2 tablespoons of Avocado oil in a skillet and heated on high. I seasoned 3 Swai fillets with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried basil then added them io the skillet. Seared on both sides until cooked through. Added 3 teaspoons of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic and basted fillets with it for about a minute on each side. Plate and set aside to rest. Serve hot!  For the buttered Lima beans, boil them in 1/2-1 cup of water for 10 minutes, covered. I then added plenty of unsalted butter, salt, and pepper and cooked for an additional 15 minutes. Use slotted spoon to dish onto plate and serve hot!  For the creamy mashed cauliflower I used a bag of frozen cauliflower and steamed in the microwave for 6 minutes. Once cooked through, I added to my food processor. I also added 3 tablespoons cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of milk, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper to taste and pureed unt

Valentine's Steak Dinner for 2

-

There's just something delicious about a steak dinner.  My favorite cut of steak is the rib-eye, but with how expensive steaks are these days, the sirloin cut is just as delicious. Sirloin steak does not have the fat marbling that the rib-eye or the NY Strip have. But that doesn't make them any less delicious or desirable.  Petite Sirloin with Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Buttered Steamed Green Beans and Chocolate Mousse with Whipped Cream I got everything through our local Walmart Superstore. I sometimes loathe shopping so I use their pick-up service to get groceries. I used it this time for our groceries and the items needed for this dinner. Putting an order in through the app makes it a heck of a lot easier especially when you've been working all day or had a busy day doing things at home to just be able to have someone else shop for you and pick your groceries up on the way home.  First prepare the Chocolate Mousse, that way it will be set and ready when you and yo
