My sweeeet tooth!!

O gosh... is it really that time of year?? When everything I can imagine to make I want to make it with pumpkin! The other day I made a pumpkin cheesecake with a graham cracker crust, it was delicious. BUT (small confession) it was my first time making a cheesecake so I made a rookie mistake and pulled it out of the oven a hair too early... Needless to say everywhere but the middle set just fine... Taste was there though!!!
Another confession, I love anything chocolate and peanut butter!! I have loved this combination since before I can remember. And it's not just like an occasional craving, it's more of a, "what can I make or bake or buy to satisfy this massive craving of peanut butter and chocolate?" (most everyday) Well, I was perusing one of my favorite blogs to find wonderful recipes and found, Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting!! Thinking it was too good to be true I read over the recipe. I have a pretty good eye at discerning between a good recipe and an even better one... But this one checked out!! I made those delicious little pieces of heaven today and I was not disappointed!!

Picture of mine (not as pretty, but I'm still figuring out how to make frosting pretty)...With Brian's big boy bite taken out of one!

I know I got his stamp of approval, he loves chocolate but his favorite is when he gets a really chocolaty rich flavor, these accomplished that!!!

Tuesday Dinner

Cooking, for me, is a chance to unwind, I know most people see it as a chore, but I truly enjoy being in the kitchen...Especially after a long day of school and tests!!
Just this last Tuesday I made western style burgers for dinner! So yummy!! Organic beef, of course. I made shoe string onion rings to go with it, along with THICK cut bacon, a delicious homemade BBQ sauce, some cheese, mayonnaise, and lettuce. Some times I add pineapple to this mouthwatering morsel but this time I didn't need it...
The shoestring onion rings are what seal the deal for me!! I love this burger, may not be the healthiest but you have to allow yourself at least two meals like this a week:) It's good for the soul!

Next to the main event of the dish are sweet potato fries, with herbs and olive oil and then just baked them... I love dinner time!!
