Football Cupcakes
So I was looking through my pictures tonight and came across these! My friend Sarah and I made these cupcakes for the superbowl last year. The star of these cupcakes are the mini footballs. They are peanut butter and chocolate candies. They make great cupcake toppers and are delicious on their own as well. Feel free to use your favorite cupcake and frosting recipe to make the cupcakes. I made a vanilla frosting, used food coloring to make it green, and then sprinkled green sugar on top. I used green to mimic a football field. Finally, I placed the chocolate football on top and served. I've included the recipe for the chocolate footballs below. I hope these come in handy at your next football party!

I thought this delicious Broccoli Cheese Soup (inspired by this recipe), would be perfect to share over here!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of light butter
1/2 onion - chopped (I throw it in my mini chopper)
1 cup of baby carrots (chopped in the mini chopper too)
4-5 cups of reduced sodium chicken broth
1 pound broccoli crowns chopped (about 6 cups)
1 14 oz. can of cannellini beans (rinsed)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1 14 oz. can of cannellini beans (rinsed)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
3/4 cup of half and half
2 cups shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat, and sauté the chopped onion until translucent
2. Add chopped carrots, 4 cups of broth, and broccoli - cook until broccoli is tender...about 8-10 minutes. Add rinsed beans, salt, pepper, and cook for another minute or two
3. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup....you can make it as smooth as you would like
4. Slowly add half and half, and cheddar cheese....then hit it with the immersion blender one last time
(*If the soup is too thick, add the extra chicken broth)
I usually serve this with warm, crusty multigrain bread...YUM! I hope you all enjoy it!
Thanks a bunch for the opportunity to share with you all!
