Toe of Frog Halloween Lemon Cupcake Recipe

Toe of Frog Halloween Lemon "Poke" Cupcake Recipe, bring this magical creatures into your home! they are sweet and fun! The perfect Halloween cupcake for those who celebrate with a whimsical theme!
Hola Amigos! We are finally getting into some Fall temperatures here! It has been so hot the last couple of days! I mean really hot...we needed a little break! Today I'm sharing with you a very easy recipe, a simple twist on one  I made before. I was in desperate need of something sweet with some ingredients that I already had and that I could together with  very little thought to it. See, I suffer from migraines and some days are worse than others...but back to the cupcakes.

This is a pudding poke cupcake. I used pistachio pudding to take a little bit of the bite of the lemon cake! Besides I thought the combination on green and yellow was just too pretty!
Since I had a few frogs hopping around the kitchen, I used them as the centerpiece decor and theme for my cupcakes. When I was little I heard so many things about frogs, and believe me, non of them had to do with kissing them to transform them into a prince...that happened later, lol

My "abuelita" (gradma) used to say that if I was to touch a frog I would get Warts!!! EEWWW! Yucks...no way...so never touched one..on this cupcake the warts are made out of mint green mints M&M's
Toe of Frog Halloween Lemon "Poke" Cupcake Recipe, Because Halloween doesn't have to be scary all the time, we can also have fun with these sweet whimsical woodland creatures...even their warts are sweet and edible!

She also used to say, if you squeeze a frog (why would I do this...I don't have a clue) the frog skin would secrete some slimey, almost mucus like substance...YUCKS!!!...on my cupcakes I recreated the slime with Wilton"s  green candy melts! you can see it just running all over the top!

But forget about the mucus if you can for a minute, these cold blooded amphibians can magically be born in water...they grow legs...(toes included) and then, they Walk Out of the Pond and live the rest of their lives hiding on the muddy surfaces near the pond in case they needed a quick refreshing bath! My pond is represented by the pistachio pudding topping and my dirt by a crumbled cupcake!

There you go my friends, this is my Frog story and I'm sticking to it! On time I learned to love these guys to the point of refusing to dissect one when I was in HS earning proudly I should say, my first F!! oh well...there's a frog out there owning me her life!

Thanks for visiting my friends! I love Halloween because even a non fancy, not perfect and everyday home baked cupcake, can turn into something out of a children's tale with just a little bit of imagination and a Pinch of Love!
Besitos,
Lizy

Toe of Frog Halloween Lemon Cupcake 
Ingredients:
1 Box Lemon Cake
(and everything you need to put it together according to the box)
1 packet (4 servings) Pistachio Instant Pudding
(and everything you need to put it together according to the box)
Key Lime mini marshmallows (optional)
1/2 bag Wilton green Candy Melts
1 small bag of Mint M&M's
Decorative Gummy Frogs (or any other slimey critter you might have)
Directions:
Mix your cake according to instructions. Cup the mix into Jumbo Muffins non stick tin pan. At this point I decided to add a couple of key lime marshmallows I just found at a local store for .99. Delicious!
Bake at 350 F for about 18-20 minutes. Let them cool.
While they cool prepare your pudding mix according the the packet instructions. 
Pull your jumbo cupcakes out of the tin pan. Poke a couple of holes in the cupcakes using the handle of a wooden spoon and pour the instant pudding mix on them. *Note: Don't over mix your pudding, since it's instant it will start to set super fast. perhaps just a couple of whisks or use some regular Pistachio Pudding not instant.  I got distracted by the phone while whisking and very little went into the "poked holes". Refrigerate.
If you have some extra pudding top and cover areas of the cupcake  that were not covered with the initial pouring add a couple of M&M's on each cupcake
Melt your candy tablets and spread them on the cupcakes to create the slime.
Crumble the less pretty looking cupcake on top of the slime and  top them up with your Frog or critter! Enjoy!


Prep Time 10 minutes                                 Cook Time 18-20 minutes                    Serves 6

Hola Amigos! Today sharing a macabre twist on a favorite of most, Meatloaf...one thing though...after today, I'm not quite sure you will look at this dish the same way!
We all have meatloaf recipes. I don't have a particular one...is one of those meals that you put together as you go and with whatever you find at hand!
My Hand Will Go On Halloween Meatloaf Recipe, this recipe will have you licking your finger right to the bone! It's good! The perfect simple meal for that scary night when we are too busy with candy but still want to have a Scary Feast at home! #halloweencreepyfood, #halloweenfood, #halloween, #meatloafrecipe #severedhand

As I've said before, everything you cook on everyday basis could be transformed into the spookiest looking dish ever. It just takes a little patience and imagination. (Noticed the bent fingers on this creepy pic) lol

My little one was all hands on when it came to prepare it! And things got even better when he got the chance to literally pull the finger of the meatloaf and have a bite!

I know you are probably thinking what the heart has to do with anything...well...I was just trying to give the meatloaf something to grab on while in the oven.

Cooking is about having fun my friends, when you have to do it everyday of the week, you better get creative with flavors, colors and even shapes when possible. Have a Happy day and Bon Appetit (if you can, lol) and remember everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!

Besitos,

Eyes Of Newt Bundt Cake
Ingredients:
1 Box White Cake
1 Container (14 oz) White Icing
3 Halloween food coloring bottles (just a few drops of each)
Chocolate Eyes
Directions:
Heat your oven according to the instructions on the box. Prepare as indicated on the box.
Grease and Flour thoroughly a bundt pan. Divide your cake mix in 3 equal parts. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl containing the cake mix and mix until desired color is obtained. For example, a few drops of purple in one bowl, mix until you get the depth of color you want. Another few drops of green on another bowl mix until you get the desired depth and repeat with your last bowl of cake mix.
Pick a color and slowly pour it on your bundt pan. Take a diferent color and gently pour it on the previous. It doesn't need to be covered completely and most likely it won't which is perfect since the colors will look even better when cut. Repeat until all your batter is in the bundt. 
Bake according to instructions.Once it has cooled for a couple of minutes, turn your bundt upside down on a cooling rack with a plate at the bottom.
When your cake is completely cooled down, prepare the icing. 
Take your icing container and heat it up in the microwave for a minute or so (stop after 30 seconds, depending on your microwave it is probably ready and melted)
As you did with your batter, divide it in 3 containers and again mix the same colors to match the cake. Drip the first color over the cake, wait a few minutes till it cools and repeat until all the icing is gone and your cake is covered.
Decorate with the chocolate eyes. I dipped the bottom of each eye on a little bit of icing so when it dries it's attached good to the cake.
Serve and enjoy

Prep Time: 20 minutes                     Cook time  25-35 minutes                            Serves 8-12

Chicken in Mustard and Capers Cream Sauce Recipe

Chicken in Mustard and Capers Cream Sauce, this shredded chicken sandwich will become one of your favorites! Not only you get to use left over chicken but it's creamy sauce makes the appealing to young and old1
Hola Amigos! This one is an after school snack for little ones! Mine loves chicken, everything creamy and sandwiches on soft flaky bread are among his best friends. Put it all together and you have a happy kid and a mom with enough time to plan for dinner without stress.

Super easy recipe, could be done with leftover rotisserie chicken or with the lonely chicken breast left on the package after you have cooked that big meal ( for some crazy reason I always have 1 seasoned piece of chicken left from the family package).

If you don't have any croissants available, no problem I used them because they were out of our favorite Honey Buttermilk Biscuits at the store. My little one is crazy about them and this chicken goes great with them.
Chicken in Mustard and Capers Cream Sauce, this is the creamiest chicken sandwich you have ever had! With a bit of Mediterranean flavor, it could be made with leftover chicken and if this is the case lunch or dinner will be made in less than 30 minutes. How about that for a great chicken sandwich!

And last but not least if you are wondering what role the capers play, well they are that little note of saltiness and tangy flavor on the creamy sauce, just like olives. Who would have thought a 5 year old would do the happy dance every time he bites into one? he picks the mushrooms out of his pizza, but loves capers, go figure.

This is one of my favorite recipes for using leftover chicken since I'm all about using everything and on of my guys's favorite for lunch or light dinner! Everybody happy. Hope you are too when you try it at your home. Remember  my friends,everything tastes better with a Pinch Of Love!

Besitos,
Lizy

Summer Berry Oatmeal Shake Recipe

Summer Berry Oatmeal Shake, a Delicious and Nutritious  On The Go breakfast shake for those mornings when we need to pack the kids and go!
Hola Amigos! Mornings are about to get quite hectic here and one way of making things easy in the morning is with a complete breakfast on the go if necessary or just to break the routine of the same kind of breakfast everyday.
Both my kids are picky eaters so I really have to try to pack the most amount of nutrients, good flavors in 1 bite (or drink) literally. It gets worse when the above description has to be the first in thing in the morning when let's face it, after months eating a bit late, no one is really hungry at 7 am.
This is my go to recipe, make it your own by changing the flavors of the fruit or oatmeal.
Summer Berry Oatmeal Shake getting to school on time could be tricky some mornings, send them of with this no cook, no sitting down, On The Go delicious and nutritious Oatmeal Shake!

The carnation breakfast drinks were recommended by my oldest's Pediatrician when he entered Jr, High and he still likes them. When we don't have any handy (rarely) he substitutes it with Protein Powder.

Now that my little one is ready to enter K, I'm sure he would enjoy the different flavor drinks mama can make him for his mornings, strawberries are his favorite!!!

Are you ready for this new school year yet? Are your kids already in school? This week I will try to make some of the meals my kids like before they go to school, when they come back and what I like to cook for supper when car pooling, car taxing and homework make time disappear in a blink of an eye! Always keeping in mind that food tastes better with a Pinch of Love!

Besitos,
Lizy
