I won't waste the time trying to catch up. A lot can happen in seven months time. So, I'll just jump in as if I haven't been absent.
Here goes:
For those of you that know me, I am not a grand cook. Often, people think that I'm lying about this, but I'm totally not. Yes, my mother was an excellent cook and baker, but I did not inherit these genes. I don't enjoy it, so why try to kindle a love for something that you know you don't?
However, having a home business, two growing boys, and a husband who works nonstop but loves to eat, it's a necessary evil, so I've been trying to find a database of go-to recipes that I can easily make. One that I found, tried, and loved was from kevinandamanda.com (which has tons of recipes and free fonts, too, like the ones found in my header). As soon as I saw the picture for mini lasagna cups, I knew I had to try them. And let me tell you, it was a crowd pleaser! That is, with the exception of my oldest son who is the pickiest eater in the world, but with a few alterations, I know he'll learn to love them, too. Of course, to try and fool him into liking them, I called them cheesy sausage wontons. I know he doesn't like lasagna, and I know he doesn't like hamburger, so I omitted those words. All was well until his little brother said, "Hey, I thought you said something about having lasagna." That's all it took to make him stop eating.
After filling up my muffin tins, I decided to experiment with the leftover wonton wrappers. I had never used them before. They are my new friend! In my mini muffin pan, I put the remaining wrappers in the tin and added goodies. In one group, I added peanut butter and chocolate syrup. In another, we had butterscotch chips and chocolate syrup. And the favorite of the night was peanut butter and blackberry jam. YUM! Why have I never used these little wonders before? I can imagine so many possibilities!
How about you? What do you put in your wonton wrappers? And do you have a picky eater? How are you able to please them?
