Here's another its too hot to cook recipe but dessert style! Sometimes you gotta step away from the hot oven and make a simple and classic dessert that's cool and wont make you sweat in your kitchen. Ive been trying to use more agave nectar so if you have some definitely try it out in a few of your recipes that call for sugar! I hope you all enjoy the weekend and I'll see you around very soon =]</span></span></span></span><br />

So on to it. Its an oldie, but a favorite of mine. Serve in pita or with croissants or just chips& crackers and you're good to go! This recipe yields about 7-8 servings so you can easily have this for lunch the next day and it will even taste better.<br />

<div style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Butterscotch Brickle Muffins</b></span></div><br />
<ul><li>1 stick butter, softened</li>
<li>4oz. cream cheese softened</li>
<li>1/2 cup white sugar</li>
<li>1/2 cup brown sugar</li>
<li>2 eggs</li>
<li>2 tsp. vanilla</li>
<li>1 3/4 cup flour</li>
<li>1 tsp. baking powder</li>
<li>1/2 tsp. baking soda</li>
<li>1/2 tsp. salt</li>
<li>8-12 oz. butterscotch baking chips</li>
<li>1 cup heath toffee bits plus more for topping</li>
<li>1/4 cup maple syrup(or pancake syrup)</li>
</ul>Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.<br />
<br />
Using a mixer, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add in sugars and beat for 1 minute. Add in eggs, and vanilla. In a seperate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and soda and salt. Add slowly to the wet ingredients. Toss in heath bits and stir.<br />
<br />
In a greased or lined muffin pan, add a ice cream scoop amount of the thick batter/dough. Then sprinkle several butterscotch chips on top. Using more batter, cover the chips. Once complete, bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool.<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-size: large;">Topping.</span></div><br />
In a sauce pan combine remaining butterscotch chips and maple syrup. Set over a low to medium flame while constantly stirring to prevent any burning. Once all the chips are melted remove from heat.<br />
<br />
*The butterscotch will be tacky. If it sits just heat it up while stirring!<br />
<br />
Top your muffins with the butterscotch and sprinkle with heath toffee bits. Enjoy!!!<br />

3tbl. white sugar<br />
1 1/2-2 tbl. of Whiskey,Optional<br />
2 tbl. vanilla pudding mix,Optional<br />

Onion rings, cauliflower, mushrooms, and <span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">ZUCCHINI</span>. For the longest Ive been trying to get the breading to stay on and I failed everytime. But finally I have a recipe where it works and the breading is super crispy and oh so flavorful.<br />
<br />
My friend Emily gave me the cute Labrador Mug, so if you have pets, give em a shout out below! My dog Chazz is hyper, sweet and we call him the <span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #b45f06;">Culinary Puppy</b></span>. He <span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">WILL NOT eat popcorn without butter, he waits for you to season it up and then he's ready!</span> Haha<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy!! <br />

My mom loves a good key lime pie but I wanted to jazz it up. So I added fresh strawberries and I made a brown sugar vanilla wafer crust instead of the graham cracker one. Wow the flavors are amazing and this is <span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">Perfect for the Summer!!!!</span> so enough chit chat, enjoy the recipe! I'll be adding the new recipes to the recipe page for easier access this week. Hope your week starts off right =]<br />

So this is a fun post because Im doing this in honor of a really cool music artist named........PAUL WRIGHT! Several years back I had the opportunity of seeing Paul Wright play here in Chicago when I was going to see KeKe Sheard and I forget who else. So how about this cool surfer singing man comes up and sings "get your flip flops off the ground." It was super catchy and I fell in love with his music. Not to mention he's a cutie as well. Okay, I had to say it, and its my blog so I can.haha. The other time he was supposed to come to the Chi, we had a crazy snow experience which messed things up. Whyyyyyyyyy. Well, I know he loves Mexican food and speaks of his favorite burrito spot in Eugene which is Burrito Boy. So today I made something special just for him. Chorizo and Salsa Verde Nachos! Hope you guys like =]<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Happy Cinco De Mayo to you all! </span><br />

So<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"> Easter</span> is over and as a goodbye to the holiday I love so much, I wanted to share me and my friend Elena's bunny shortbread cookies! She is such an awesome helper and we had a blast making these cute bunnies. Now that Easter has left us, hopefully some consistent spring weather will occur. <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Cmon weather cmon!!</span></span> Alright enough of the rant lets get to the yummy shortbread =]<br />

</div>Woot woot for Thirsty Thursday! I wanted to share an awesome day with you all that was last year....My 21st Bday! So Im a huge Twilight Fan and I just had to have a twilight themed party for my big day. I had my closest family and friends over and it was a blast. Everything was twilight, but not your cheesy twilight plates and cake. It was elegant and fun. There were lights, red and black everywhere with floating apples. You get the picture. But for Thirsty Thirsday, I wanted to share the drink that was made at my party called Bloody Bellas. It was super yum and my friend Chris felt like he needed the leftovers.lol<br />

So I decided to make some pasta with a tomato and smokey kick. This pasta is a quick make and is oh so delicious..But wait....it gets better. This sesame crusted bread my mother picked up was fantastic. It was a <span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Sesame Semolina loaf.</span> I made a mild spread to put on the bread because it honestly didn't need anything! Such a great meal this was. So go ahead and see for yourself. You'll thank me later =]<br />

That was a mouthful wasnt it! Now, I know these cupcakes sound different, and maybe even crazy to you, but food should be interesting and daring. Once I made these, everyone agreed that they hit the spot. The Chocolate cupcakes are so moist and the pumpkin buttercream is creamy and adds such a nice contrast to the spices in the cupcakes. When I thought of these, I saw that I had every ingredient except for the chai tea and cupcake liners. These are thrifty cupcakes!! So be bold and daring and try em out. They'll leave you wanting more!<br />

I know I do. Sweet potatoes are packed with flavor and they definitely don't skimp on healthy qualities either. I enjoy knowing that I get a great source of calcium, potassium, and vitamin A and C while enjoying the perfect amount of sweetness. So for the <a href="http://ncsweetpotatoes.com/bloggers-recipe-contest.html">Sweet-N-Healthy Blogger Recipe </a><a href="http://ncsweetpotatoes.com/bloggers-recipe-contest.html">Contest</a>, I decided to make a Sweet Potato and Brussel Salad. This salad has no added sugars! Most of the salads we eat are packed with sugar so be ready to enjoy this nutritious creation! The ingredients in this salad are super healthy so you get to enjoy that sweet and savory without risking calories. The sweet potatoes and cinnamon add sweetness while playing off of the tart cherries and crunchy brussels and pecans. Whether served warm or chilled, this salad is a hit! Enjoy!!<br />

Here's a new comforting sandwich My Mom(Davette) and I came up with that you can enjoy. We're still looking around at tons of snow and sometimes you want to have something with a homey taste. Hope you all enjoy these melts! I know these are not ranking 10 on the healthy scale but when you have a splurge day, these definitely wont hurt! Oh yea, they have dried cherries in them too. If you're one that doesn't like fruit in your meals, just omit them. I wont feel bad! lol.<br />

You see, I've had many "okay" hot sauces that were just <i><b>fiery</b> </i>hot, but that's not what this sauce brings. <a href="http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=3762&oid=1614912" rel="nofollow">TABASCO® Original Red</a> is so much more than hot.
