A New Recipe

I have started reading a lot of new blogs. One is called Rocks in My Dryer. It has a lot of fun little things on there. A few weeks ago she posted a recipe that they call BBQ Cupcakes. It sounded very yummy & had things I thought all my kiddos might possible even EAT (which is HUGE around here). I decided to give them a go.

I have one pan of muffin tins that are over sized (think bakery sized) plus a dozen tin of regular sized plus a six pack. I made some of the extra-large ones for my hubby & I & the rest for the kiddos.

We tried to different varieties the first go - one was the BBQ style as in the above recipe & the second was the pizza variation. I have to admit that I love the pizza one as do two out of my three kiddos. My older son ate a bit of biscuit the first time. The second time I made them I took pity & just cooked him two biscuits which he ate with honey on them.

My hubby took leftovers to work after the first baking & it was a hit there as well. But he didn't like the name. So they all brainstormed & hubby dubbed them "potholes." If you live in Maine, you will understand why this makes sense.

They also all brainstormed different fillings. So I made these again on Friday night instead of our usual homemade pizza - per hubby's request.

I did the pizza filling since I knew two out of three kids would at least eat them that way. ;-) I also decided to do a shepherd's pie mix. I cooked up two potatoes, mashed them. Then cooked up some peas & corn & added them to the mashed potatoes. My hubby did tell me that this was good but next time I had to add cheese. Silly me - how could I forget the cheese??

This is what was left over after dinner on Friday night......
