Conservation Heart Cookies

I think these came out cute. They are sugar cookies, iced with a royal icing. I then rolled some fondant and cut out the letters with cookie cutters made by Wilton.
Hope you like the idea~

Groundhog Day Cupcakes....

Aren't these cute? Found these over at Sweets and S'mores Cakery.
Looks like they would be easy to re-create with little candy hearts for the teeth.
And candy eyes,a chocolate chip for his nose, a little bit of piping with a pasty bag for the cheeks and some chocolate sprinkles for his head....love em!

White Chocolate covered Cherries

Saw this on a blog somewhere....can't remember. But I saved the picture.
So cute and easy.

just dip clean, dry cherries into melted white chocolate. Let cool. Make face with chocolate chips melted in a zip lock bag, snip a tiny piece off the corner and pipe choc. to make eyes,mouth. Use a little of the white melted chocolate mixed with food coloring to make the noses. You could do this in a bag or even just with a toothpick dabbed into it (since you won't need to do as many dots).

White Chili

This is one of our favorite meals around our house when it's cold outside.
It is SUCH an easy recipe with very few ingredients...so that makes it even better.
This is NOT diet food, but it is a complete meal~

OK~ here's the ingredients, but you have to know it's one of those recipes where there isn't a set measurement...just the amounts that work for me.
My rule is about 1 can of beans to 1 chicken breast...use what works for you.

about 1/2 cup chopped onion
4 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped or shredded
4 cans great northern beans
1/2--1/4 bottle of salsa....I use medium hot
about 2 cups water
jalapeno jack cheese~shredded about 1 - 1 1/2 cups
cumin
sour cream to top

In a large pot saute your onion until it is soft and translucent.
Add your chicken, beans, salsa and water. Throw in a good sprinkle of cumin.
Let it simmer for a while, about 30-40 minutes.
It will thicken a bit.
Then mix in the cheese...add more or less to your liking.
This will make it really thick and adds more flavor.
Serve with a dolop of sour cream on top and tortilla chips on the side.
Makes for great leftovers too!
