Cinnamon sugar muffins

What can I say about these cinnamon sugar donut muffins......well I can say that Zane was excited just by the sight of them. He screamed as I sat it on his high chair tray and it had barely touched before he shoved it in his mouth. And my husband and I thought they were delicious too. These would be perfect with a cup of coffee and some fresh fruit.

easy butter cream frosting

I have always loathed making cupcakes. I know I know but you love baking?! Well I do love baking anything but cupcakes.

Crock pot turkey Chili

Chili is always my go to recipe. You can use the left overs for so many things chili mac, nachos, chili spaghetti I could go on trust me. But this turkey chili not only is so good you might not even have left overs but it's also good for you! I like to make my chili in the crock pot because you can just throw it in there and forget about!

Spicy chickpeas

I have tried making these for a long time and they either come out mushy or burnt. This time they were just about perfect. I let them sit in the oven at 350 for about an hour and a half they were super crunchy and spicy. The spice all really depends on how hot you like them. I like them hot so I put in about double the recipe I've put on here but they were spicy and I mean that with double the spice they would especially not be great for kids lol.


Spicy crunchy chickpeas
1 can = 3 servings
1 serving= 3 WW pts


1 can chickpeas drained rinsed and  patted dry with a paper towel
1/2 tbsp cumin
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/2tsp Tbsp cayanne
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp olive oil

 Drain and rinse the chickpeas and pat dry with a paper towel. In a medium bowl mix all dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl place chickpeas and drizzle with olive oil and mix around till they are all coated. then transfer chickpeas to spice bowl and mix until coated with spice mixture. Then spread out evenly over parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 1 1/2 on 350 degrees to get super crunchy. If you don't want them to be as crunchy you can do a higher heat and less time.

WW Pineapple angel food cake

Wow it's been awhile since my last post! Life has been crazy at our house! We have remodeled a bathroom and now are in process of changing the floors in our kitchen. So I have felt like a crazy person I don't really handle stress real well lol. Also I have decided to become annoyingly dedicated to Weight Watchers again. It's been 16 months since Zane was born so it's about time to put the excuses to rest. Don't worry I will still be posting some non WW recipes I just can't help myself I'll just have to save my weekly points for such occasions.

Gooey peanut butter chocolate cake

 

This cake was inspired by the great Paula Dean's Gooey butter cake from her cookbook Southern Cooking Bible. I liked how simple she made this cake. She uses a boxed cake mix (yellow in hers) she also gives lots of add in options in this book so that's what I went with a chocolate peanut butter combo. My favorite!

pecan shortbread cookies

 I started out just wanting to make shortbread cookies then I realized that I had a about 2 cups of chopped pecans that were needing used. That was perfect for my husband he loves pecans! The real reason I wanted to make shortbread cookies is that I have these awesome Peanuts cookie cutters that I have been wanting to use. There's Snoopy and Charlie Brown, the whole gang! Unfortunately my dough was a little thick for my cookie cutters and then I couldn't find my heart cutters so I settled for stars. So here they are Pecan shortbread cookies!
