Black Bottom Cupcakes

These happen to be my favorite cupcake! I love cream cheese frosting, chocolate chips and chocolate cake! Well this recipe combines all of those yummy ingredients to create a mouthwatering treat. The middle of the cupcake has a surprise of cream cheese and chocolate chips. I like to add toffee bits to the cream cheese filling sometimes for an added crunch and flavor. The cake is moist the frosting sweet and the middle, divine!! I haven't meet anyone who hasn't loved this cupcake!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Fruit and Almonds

Chicken salad sandwiches seem to be the go to item for baby and bridal showers.  I wanted to make some for the baby shower, but had a dillema.   While I like the main components in the salad, I really do not like the taste of raw onions and celery.  However, I still wanted some crunch and flavor in the salad.

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
