Easy frosting tip

I always have trouble with the frosting tip slipping out,when I use a plastic bag. So.... before I put the icing in the bag, I taped the plastic down to the tip. Worked like a charm.

Eyeglasses case


Wonder Woman Eyeglasses Case 




One of the girls is a huge Wonder Woman fan. She is in the 2nd grade and wears glasses. We search online for a case for her glasses, because there was not a large selection at the doctor's office.
The only Wonder Woman case we could find was on back order for months.

So, this was my solution.

Cookie dough icing

Dark chocolate cupcake
with chocolate chip cookie dough icing


I made these for the baby's 2nd birthday. I wanted something different. The icing starts with a basic cream cheese frosting. I chose it for the tanginess of the cream cheese. Extra vanilla was added to make the flavor more intense. Brown sugar gives the icing the correct texture.

4x4 Sliders


EASY SLIDERS



When you use 3 lbs of meat fills an entire pan, and it makes 24 small patties. Keep in mind that they will shrink during cooking. I used 2 lbs, because that was enough for us. Even though, the girls were begging for them the next day. 
Press 2lbs of ground hamburger or turkey into a jelly roll pan;
divide into 4 rows of 4 using an 8 inch chef's knife. Season.
Remove from pan by lifting them up with a spatula and grill.


          

 The above picture is 1 lb of meat. Each pound of meat should take up a third of the pan.
It makes uniform patties without a mess.
