I make dozens of these bat cupcakes each Halloween. They are so cute! My kids expect to be able to take them to school even when I am not the Halloween party mom! I also take some to work, and the people who dress up in costumes get one as a prize - they come looking for me to show me their costumes!

Parmesan-Crusted Baked Cod
For this Parmesan-crusted baked cod, cod loins take a quick dip in buttermilk, then receive a crunchy Parmesan and panko crumb topping. This is a quick, easy main dish suitable for a weeknight, or for company. We like this with oven-roasted asparagus and baby red potatoes. Customize to your taste, with a little onion powder, or an herb seasoning blend, as you like!
Velveting Chicken Breast, Chinese Restaurant Style
Velveting chicken makes it as moist and tender as what's served at the best Chinese restaurants. This is not my technique — I got it online. Don't limit this chicken to just Chinese dishes. The velveted chicken can then be stir-fried with vegetables and sauce or stored for a few hours in the refrigerator before cooking.
Jim's Beer-Battered Portobello Mushrooms
If you like portobello mushrooms, imagine them deep-fried in a tasty beer batter. Simply delicious alone or served with a chipotle-aioli sauce for dipping.
