What was I thinking?

I turned these delicious cheesy biscuits into these monsters. My friend Jenica had a bacon, cheese & chocolate themed Birthday party. So I did my best to combine all three. I added bacon to my cheesy biscuits and drizzled them with chocolate. No one threw up after eating them. So I guess they were a success.

Banana Cupcakes

I made these this summer. So yummy. The recipe is from my sister Kristi's mil. We like to call them muffins.... sounds a little healthier. And the frosting... let's call it glaze! Mmmm.

Banana Cupcakes

1/2 cup margarine

1 cup sugar

1 cup mashed bananas

1 egg- beaten

1 teaspoon baking soda- dissolved in ½ cup hot water

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.

Ice with Butter or cream cheese icing!

Makes 18 muffins.

ENJOY! I think I might need to go make some... since I finally bought some flour AND sugar!

Sorry once again for taking so long to post. My sister came to visit and were busy hanging out in NYC, DC, Chicago and all the Targets, Kohl's and Chipotle's that we could find. More about that later ( I left my camera in Virginia so it is being mailed to me...) but until then- a little piece of heaven-
Cheesy Biscuits

I was first introduced to these in South Carolina. Kind of an interesting story but I will spare you the details. I actually didn't eat them because I was too full from the HUGE baked potato I ordered but my friend Ben ate them and raved about how delicious they were. So I googled them and found a recipe- tried them out... and have been in love ever since. I seriously have made them for every dinner party/ bbq I have gone to since the big discovery. And now I share them with you. They are sweet- which I didn't expect. The original recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar- but I tried putting a little less and they are just as good. I even made it with splenda and it is also good. I would recommend cheddar cheese rather than mozzarella- not as much flavor with the mozzarella- and I have yet to try it with sharp cheddar but I am sure that is even more flavor. Enough of my rambling... here is the recipe you MUST try... or invite me over for dinner and I will bring them! :)

Cheesy Biscuits (from Jim N’ Nicks)

1 1/2 cups flour

3/4 cup sugar

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 cup milk

1 egg-beaten

4 Tablespoons margarine- softened

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Mix ingredients dry ingredients together. Mix liquid ingredients together. Mix together until just moist. Pour into greased muffin tin. Bake at 400° for about 20 minutes.

(I have only used mini muffin tins- but I am sure the big ones will work just as well)

Try them and let me know what you think!!
