My Block Party: TIO Tuesday - Smashed Potatoes and Taco Cupcakes
http://myblockparty.blogspot.com/2012/09/tio-tuesday-smashed-potatoes-and-taco.html
Tuesday, September 4, 2012. TIO Tuesday - Smashed Potatoes and Taco Cupcakes. We have a new favorite side dish - Smashed Potatoes! I have seen a few recipes for these in magazines recently, but opted for Pioneer Woman's recipe, she calls them Crash Hot Potatoes. I just know I can never go wrong with her recipes! New Potatoes (or Other Small Round Potatoes). Kosher Salt To Taste. Black Pepper To Taste. Rosemary (or Other Herbs Of Choice) To Taste. The recipe closest to the one I used is found at Just Us.

My Block Party: TIO Tuesday - Pink Lemonade Cupcakes
http://myblockparty.blogspot.com/2012/07/tio-tuesday-pink-lemonade-cupcakes.html
Tuesday, July 17, 2012. TIO Tuesday - Pink Lemonade Cupcakes. There's a lot of lemon flavor to these, you can even see the lemon zest. I will make them look a little prettier on Saturday. And I'm not quite sure how I will frost them, I was thinking of making them look more like flowers? I have the cupcake toppers all ready to go for them, so the coloring will all match. I will also add the coloring to the frosting, which I didn't do on these. 1 (1625 oz) package white cake mix. 1 cup sour cream. Prepare ...

My Block Party: February 2013

Saturday, February 16, 2013. Banana Bread Brownies with Brown Butter Frosting. I always seem to have ripe bananas on hand. I wanted to go beyond the bread and muffins I usually make and this was perfect. These brownies were so moist and much more delicate than the usual pumpkin bars I make. I followed the recipe exactly, no need to change what's not broken. Yes, no school the next day, no MMO, and a pan of brownies staring at me, all day. Here's the recipe so you can try them out:. I would love to learn ...

My Block Party: Pork Chops with Balsamic Maple Glaze & Honey Roasted Red Potatoes
http://myblockparty.blogspot.com/2013/02/maple-balsamic-pork-chops-with-honey.html
Saturday, February 16, 2013. Pork Chops with Balsamic Maple Glaze and Honey Roasted Red Potatoes. I am apologizing in advance for the bad photo. I think I've said it before, I'm not a food photographer! I would love to learn some tips on how to take a decent photo - at night - in the kitchen. So far, I haven't figured it out. In spite of the bad photo, this was an excellent meal! And this is the picture I saw:. Now, who wouldn't want to eat that? 6 Center Cut Tenderloin Chops. 2/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar.

My Block Party: January 2013
http://myblockparty.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 17, 2013. My dear friend, Jess Hansen, is a wonderful cook. She makes her own baby food and sells it at the Farmer's Market in Cedar Falls. She also has three lovely little boys and a sweet little girl on the way. Like myself, she is busy in the kitchen quite often. I love that she shares her recipes, especially when they are as delicious as this one! You can find the recipe here: Mama Made. And if you have time, poke around and find lots of other great recipes! Mini Pies - Apple Chai.

My Block Party: July 2012

Tuesday, July 31, 2012. TIO Tuesday - No-Bake Cookies. I swear I used to make these when I was growing up. Or maybe my mom did? Or maybe a combination? I don't know, but I do know I loved them, loved them, really loved them! I think everyone my age probably had them as well. No comment on my age. Recently I came across this recipe and thought it sounded pretty close to what I remember. I whipped them up in no time and it didn't heat up the house. Even better than that, my kids loved them too. It did take...

My Block Party: TIO Tuesday - Apple Crisp
http://myblockparty.blogspot.com/2012/08/tio-tuesday-apple-crisp.html
Tuesday, August 7, 2012. TIO Tuesday - Apple Crisp. Really the title should be "Best Apple Crisp Ever". It truly is, no really, I'm serious! I took two recipes and kind of combined them into what I thought would be the best and it worked, one of the only times it's worked, but I digress. This recipe was so good in fact that the neighbor has "commissioned" me to make it for their family this weekend! I'm thrilled to do it for them and even more flattered that they liked it so much. 3/4 cup white sugar.

My Block Party: TIO Tuesday - Jalapeno Lime Butter
http://myblockparty.blogspot.com/2012/07/tio-tuesday-jalapeno-lime-butter.html
Tuesday, July 10, 2012. TIO Tuesday - Jalapeno Lime Butter. This is my first post written without a current picture. In a very grievous error, I didn't complete the picture download and deleted the pictures from my SD card before I realized it. I'm screaming on the inside for multiple reasons, not the least of which is that I now have no pictures for this post! I do have left-overs, so the pictures are of that, not the pretty ones I had taken while/after I made it. ARGHHH! Ears fresh corn, husks removed.

My Block Party: Mini Pies - Apple Chai
http://myblockparty.blogspot.com/2013/01/mini-pies-apple-chai.html
Wednesday, January 16, 2013. Mini Pies - Apple Chai. I may have mentioned previously that I've never made pie crust from scratch? I will say, it's messy. All that flour all over the place. But, totally worth it. The tart pan was a little too big, so my little pies didn't look as perfect as the ones in the picture. Aren't these the cutest little things? And by the way, this counts as 2 recipes - pie crust and the filling! I'm all about multi-tasking.). As adapted from Mini Pies. 8 Tbsp. butter (1stick).
