Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Quick desserts for a Micky-themed party

The other two blogs are featuring pictures from K's birthday party, so why shouldn't I post some pictures here too?

Both started with store bought mixes. For the cookies, I usually make sugar cookie dough. But time was tight and I tried the refridgerated dough roll for the first time ever. Instead of slicing the roll into circles I rolled it out and used cookie cutters to make hearts and the letter K.

They baked out just like regular (aside from the second batch that I overcooked!) and I frosted them like usual with a mix of milk and confectioners sugar. I set aside some of the frosting before adding the food coloring and put it in a ziplock bag. I cut a small hole in the bottom and the dots were easy to make that way!For the cupcakes, again I started with a box mix. Big Oreo cookies plus little Oreo cookies equals Micky Mouse ears.
