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.

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.

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.

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.
