Peppermint Mocha Cupcakes
Intense chocolate cupcakes with a hint of peppermint and coffee. I like them frosted with a simple whipped cream (consisting of heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla), but they'd be delicious with a white chocolate or vanilla buttercream as well!
Busy Day Chicken Rice Casserole
This is my family's favorite one dish meal - mine too, since it is so easy to put together! I use skinless, boneless chicken breasts but mixed chicken pieces can be used, too. I also use the low fat, low sodium canned soups and the taste is still great!
Cajun Roasted Pork Loin
This wonderful Cajun roasted pork loin recipe includes an incredible sauce for drizzling over the pork loin. If you like it spicier add more cayenne.
