February’s Tasty Treats

I was busy in the kitchen all February. We were snowed in a good portion of the month, and February was also our attempt at a no take-out month. I tried out a lot of new recipes, and a few desserts too. Here are some of our favorites.

I made a lot of cornbread this month. I like to make mine in muffins, the little miss absolutely loves cornbread.

011

I love to make Peach Pie, I make the crust and the filling from scratch. This was a perfect project to brighten up a dreary Winter day.

Yum the Peach Pie in all it’s delicious glory.

So it wasn’t just sweets that were going on in the kitchen. When it was Super-bowl Sunday I made a ton of food, and I snuck in a new recipe too. I made Panko-crusted Chicken Tenders, and they were amazingly good. I’ve added them to the menu, they were a huge hit with all the family.

I think we were on day 6 or 7 of being snowed in and out of school, so I made the kiddos some Chocolate Cupcakes to cheer them up.

006

I also introduced the family to Blueberry Pies. I made these mini-ones in muffin tins. They are tiny cupcake sized pies, but oh so tasty.

012

For Valentine’s Day I made one of my hubby’s favorite dinners, and dessert too. They all love Chocolate Pie, I prefer fruit pies though.

When it was time for my birthday I whipped up a big batch of Red Velvet Cupcakes, and they were awesome!

One more look at that awesome icing.

I can’t wait to get back in the kitchen and get to baking. I have a few sweet treat recipes to try out, Dylan’s birthday is this month too, and I have a cookie catering gig this month.  I’ll have some more tasty pictures up soon.

16 Months

She is still my little girl, but she isn’t all that little any more…

Miss Agnes turned 16 months in February.

She is busy and playful.

Curious and sneaky too.

She is getting a bit more brave everyday. She is now walking 5 and 6 steps across the room, my little gal is growing up fast.
