We call them cook-out cupcakes.

I have been making some “retro” snacks for my grandchildren this summer and thought of this one.  I have not made it for at least 6 or 7 years, but they use to love for me to make these cute little cook-out cupcakes when they were younger. Continue reading COOK-OUT CUPCAKES”RETRO” SNACKS-

LOADED BREAKFAST PANINI

This loaded breakfast panini is perfect to start your day with, or to serve to guests for a special treat.

Leftover ham was the inspiration for my loaded breakfast panini.  My husband loves fried egg sandwiches, but doesn’t let himself eat them too often.  In the summer months he loves them with a slice of fresh tomato.  One morning while fixing breakfast, I saw the leftover ham in the refrigerator and put this sandwich together for him.
