10-09-11 Breakfast and Baking

Well what a Sunday, Again I had the same issue this morning, what to make for breakfast. I wanted to think of something better than chocolate chip muffins as I am reminded by some that they are more of a dessert than a breakfast food. If only I had left out the chocolate chips. Darn it! Anyways, so for today what shall I make...

Breakfast, I still wanted some muffins, I gave away the left overs from yesterdays muffins and wanted something fresh. So I went ahead and made some banana nut muffins!!!

They turned out great, but while they were baking I knew I would want more than just a muffin. So I figured I could make waffles and sausage again. Then as that was already cooking, I realized I wanted a breakfast burrito. Goodness Gracious. Well it was too late to not have the waffles as they were already done. Oh well, I am on to my burrito, so I  scrambled up two eggs, some fresh braided mozzarella tossed in some crumbled turkey sausage and cooked in the frying pan.

Once that was done, I wrapped it up in a wrap and served with all of the other food! Oh my, that was a ton.

During the afternoon, I decided I was going to make mini cupcakes. Well lets start with the frosting, it is October and the countdown to Halloween begins, so I needed to make some Orange frosting. So Vanilla frosting and then added some food color.

Next on to the cupcakes, I made some German Chocolate cupcake mix, and started making mini cupcakes, some i added in some extra chocolate chips and on the second half of the batch of mix, I started putting peanut butter in the middle of the cupcakes. So I would let half of the cupcakebatter cook in the tin for a minute then add a glop of peanut butter and then top the rest off with more cupcake batter.

Next off to icing, so delicious, YUMMY

Now after icing majority of these little cupcakes, then I finally remembered that i had a decorating bag with tips left. They are single use bags which is great since there is no clean up!! But I can't believe I didn't remember that I had it earlier.

OK so far from being my best decorating job but give me a break it was also the end of the frosting. I had some fabulous holiday sprinkles of ghosts and bats and cats and orange and black jimmies which were fabulous to use. The ghosts were orange and white and slightly larger than the rest of the shapes so I used one for each mini cupcake and stuck it out in the middle. It looks great!! and tastes fabulous. Most of these will go to work in the morning so that I don't eat them myself. LOL Ill give everyone at work the gift of extra weight!! :)

Next time I will make regular cupcakes, not minis so I can use some great Halloween cupcake papers, I might even add some of the orange and black jimmies into some yellow cake mix to make them more festive.

Still not sure what to make for dinner, but I am working on it. Well I am working on the thought of it at this moment at least. :)
