ARE YOU MY CUPCAKE?

 Update - the cupcakes that I did make
Well, the cupcake were much more difficult than books, or online directions appeared. Or, and this is quite possible, I need more practice. A lot more practice!

I did try the easy chocolate wings, and the Hello Cupcake fancier wings, but ended up doing most with the pretzels - these were very easy. And they sorta look like butterflies :)


Katelynn's Birthday Cupcake - hers was Hello Cupcake wings
I will persevere however, and learn how to make these darn cupcakes and many more that I wish to try.

Anything can be cooked on BBQ - start with RIBS

BBQ Anything..

Yes .. I have proved that anything can be cooked on the BBQ. This was not tested by myself, as a test or study - but due to fact that oven was out of commission for 6 months. Why 6 months? Because we had a the kitchen renovated, that was to take a week, and well .. so far it has been 4 years, 3 months and 2 days (not that I am counting). The oven was reconnected after 6 months, in time to cook Christmas dinner.

I would like to feature BBQ ribs to start, since they are one of the most logical foods to cook on a BBQ.


RECIPE & DIRECTIONS TO FOLLOW ... stay tuned..

Breakfast Egg Poof

FIND SOMETHING TO EAT!

I have changed the name of  my Cooking Blog, as the original name of Kitchen TNT, just did not bond with me- AND ... this is what I am usually doing or saying to others. Find Something To Eat!!


If you have others in your household, such as spouse or teenagers you will often find them staring into an open refrigerator, and then cupboards. Finally they proclaim, "There is nothing to eat in this house!". They then proceed to flop onto the couch and further state, "I'm bored."  Since there is no food to be found and nothing to do, happiness is hopeless. AND - it is of course your fault.


  If only ... it were possible to rig the fridge to create a blasting response

 BUT....
Of course there is always something to eat in the house (except for extreme circumstances). There may not be anything prepared, or anything that appeals to their investigation. And that is what I would like to show you how I deal with,  and also still holler back "Find Something To Eat!"

Also, I hope you will follow along as I demonstrate that a recipe is just a guideline, and how you can modify ingredients and become creative according to what is in your cupboards, fridge, freezer, gardens - with the odd run to neighbour or corner store.

As this blog evolves, I will be adding features and look forward to getting to know you.
