HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I resolve to blog more in 2010!!
I know that sounds simple right but as much as I eat out and try new recipes I have the hardest time logging on and getting it done.
I don't usually do "New Year's Resolutions" but I figured what the heck.


Good luck to me:-)

Cami Cakes......Cupcakes yum!!!!

One of our local radio producers Nina Brown from V 103 had been talking about these really good cup cakes by a company called Cami Cakes. I kept saying I was going to try them but never took the time to go and check them out. Well today happened to be a co workers Birthday and I know he likes sweet stuff and was pretty sure he had not tried cami cakes so I used his Birthday as an excuse to get it in gear and go!




Boy oh boy I am sooooo happy that I did. First off all when you hit the door, it smells amazing. The young ladies behind the counter were very nice and patient as I had no idea what I wanted to get because there is so much too choose from.



I did a variety mix for my co worker and I had the Banana Cream for myself....delish! The icing was just sweet enough. The cupcake was moist and did not fall apart when I took a bit.



Presentation for me is big. The cupcakes look exactly as they do on the web site and they are given to you in a cute pink box. I want to have a party just so I can display the cupcakes.


The shop is small,pink and clean.



Price-Good-$2.50 per cupcake



Location-Good-On Peachtree Rd in a strip mall where you can enter and exit at a light. for those who travel Peachtree Rd you know how important this is for a driver.



Service-Good-Service with a smile.



Will I go back? For sure!!!!!!

Slow Cooker-Chicken With Red Onion Salsa

I have had this Sara Lee Semi-Homemade Slow Cooker Recipes II cookbook for about a year now and have never used it! I have decided that I will try a recipe from the book at least once a month.
Below is the first dish-Chicken With Red Onion Salsa

Ingredients
4 chicken breasts, rinsed and patted dry
2 tablespoons Mexican seasoning

2 (10 ounce) cans Ro-Tel tomatoes


1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 medium red onions, peeled and finely diced

Directions
1. Season both sides of chicken breasts with Mexican seasoning and set aside.(I used adobe seasoning and hot chilli powder) 2. In a medium bowl, stir together diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and onions.
3. Pour half of salsa mixture in the bottom of a 5-quart slow cooker; Add chicken and top with remaining salsa mixture.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours.

The dish came out good and was quite tasty. I served it with yellow rice.
Easy breezy dish!

Blog needs love....

Okay so I have been neglecting my blog for awhile and I need to get on the ball blogging and getting some traffic here:-)
So I am sooooo far behind this year with Halloween. I love to get pumpkins(usually store bought) and display them around the house and outside prior to Halloween.
I have yet to do this and Halloween is this weekend.
Well I've decided to try out a Pumpkin Patch that's been getting a lot of buzz here in Atlanta Burt's Farm http://www.burtsfarm.com/ .I will be sure to write a review
and post pics if we make it out there.
