Tiny Treats

These tiny treats are most certainly something to try at your next dinner party or any special occasion. Personally, I think that fruit is the most delicious dessert, and mixed with chocolate, well you cannot go wrong. Raspberries are fresh, sweet, and perfect for the summertime, or any time really. These stuffed raspberries are really simple, and only take a little bit of patience. Grab a bag of either milk, dark. or white chocolate chips and place on chip inside each raspberry. Easy as that!

The kiwis require a bit more time but nothing to fret about! Cut a few kiwis in even rounds and remove the skin. Make sure to cut them thick enough to fit a popsicle stick in. (Then put the stick in!) Melt chocolate in a pot with a drop of milk and dip the kiwi pops until they are fully covered with chocolaty goodness. Put them on some wax paper and place them in the freezer for a few hours.

Summer is all about fruit, fun, and sun. As it is quickly approaching I would definitely urge you to try these treats with your friends and family. They are a healthier alternative to a tick chocolate cake or a mound of ice cream so you can feel great and look amazing this summer!

Morning, Sunshine

I love a happy morning, and to me it starts with a yummy breakfast. Something as simple as an egg can be made into a decadent and delicious meal. This idea came from an Epicurious recipe I stumbled upon last week. It totally caught my eye and I am going to try to make it this weekend for sure. This picture shows the finished product, but I will tell you what goes inside this miniature bread bowl.

The base consists of mini hard rolls, scooped and lightly toasted. Since coming to college, I have perfected the art of the sunnyside-up egg, but it had not always been that way. For these, you do not need to know how to have that perfect easy over egg, because the oven does it for you. Lay the scooped rolls on a baking sheet and crack an egg into each one. Dollop some creme into each and add some herbs. Then sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes and enjoy!

These are great for any Sunday brunch with a bunch of people, or just you and a friend. For a healthier option, use whole wheat rolls and low fat or fat free creme!

Breakfast, as we all know, is the most important meal of the day so why not add a little flare to you mornings!

Ice Cream Cake Job?

These little delectable treats are under that category called, "they are so cute, there must be no calories". This category, by the way, is probably my favorite! In these cupcakes there are part pie crust, part Funfetti cupcake, part ice cream, and part icing. WOW. Making them seems a bit complicated, but definately doable.

First you make the funffetti batter and lay it out on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes. Then you cut them out with a small round cookie cutter. Once they are cut, move on to the pie crusts. Lay them out over a cupcake pan and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Now you are going to move on to the icing. Put your icing in a pastry bag(or a regular plastic bag with a tip cut out) and squirt into the cooled pit crust. Scoop on a spoonful of ice cream atop the icing. Now, remember the funfetti cutouts? Place one on top of the ice cream, and plop some more icing on that. place them in the freezer for an hour or so and the ENJOY!

Cupcakes are such a treat to begin with, but the added deliciousness makes them irresistible. If you have never had funfetti cake straight from the box, you really must go to the grocery store right now and buy a box (preferably complimented by funfetti icing).

This combination of goodness will definately make your tummy happy!
