Yum... dinner..



Last night I got very creative with dinner. We had cupcakes. Gasp! What kind of horrible mother am I? To give my children cupcakes for dinner! The horror! Well, these cupcakes are not what they seem. The cupcake its self was meatloaf, the "frosting" was mashed potatoes, and the "cherry" was a cherry tomato. I did not come up with this idea on my own!!! I am not trying to steal any one's glory. Yes, I saw it in a magazine once. But this is my attempt at a creative, cute dinner. Not too bad, huh? Next time I will use peas and corn and carrots as "sprinkles." (That IS my own idea.) These were very simple to make. What I did was take my favorite meat loaf recipe, put it in cupcake holders, and cook for about half the time the recipe calls for. Make sure you use the silver liners, because the grease soaks into the simple paper ones. With creativity like this, how can I have the stamina to draw? :::Yawn::: with a full tummy, I am off to bed.
