Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves or 8 boneless, skinless thighs
1/4 cup flour
2/3 cup creamy honey mustard salad dressing
1-1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
2 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 cup creamy honey mustard salad dressing
2/3 cup sour cream

Place flour, 2/3 cup salad dressing and pecans in three separate dishes. Coat chicken with flour, then dressing, then pecans, pressing to coat well.
Melt butter with olive oil in heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook coated chicken breasts 2-3 minutes on each side until chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Basic muffin batter recipe by Art Eats Bakery

Art Eats Bakery, Greenville,SC http://www.arteatsbakery.com
Basic muffins
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Instructions:Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add egg, milk and oil to dry ingredients. Stir until just moistened. Do not over mix. Grease or line muffin tins with paper baking cups. Fill about 2/3 full. Bake at 400 degrees F/200 degrees C for about 20-25 minutes. Makes 10-12 muffins.
VARIATIONS: Changing the recipe to add things that that you and your family really like is the fun part! You can add ingredients this recipe to make hundreds of different variations. How about blueberries in the batter with cinnamon topping? Maybe peanut butter chips in the batter and jelly as a topping? Find an add-in or a topping you like from the lists below, and you're on your way to creating an original muffin all your own. Maybe you would like a flavoring and a topping? How about just an add-in? The choice is yours. The basic muffin is not vaery sweet, so it lends itself to change well.
ADD-INS
SWEET (I always add a teaspoon of real vanilla when making one of the sweet varieties):
1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. cinnimon swirled in the batter and spinkled on top
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 cup chopped dried apricots
1 cup chopped, peeled apples
3/4 cup chopped dates
1 cup mashed banana
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup pecans, walnuts or almonds
1 cup flaked coconut
2 tbsp. poppy seeds
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter chips
1 cup raisins
1 cup shredded carrot
1 cup drained canned pineapple

SAVORY:
1 can chopped green chiles,
drained Small can of whole kernel corn, drained
1 cup grated cheese (Cheddar, Muenster, Swiss, Monterey Jack)
1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
1/2 cup chopped green onions

FLAVORINGS:
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
Replace the milk in the recipe with pineapple juice or apple juice
1 tsp. finely grated orange zest
1 1/2 tsp. pure orange extract

TOPPINGS
SWEET:
Add 1 teaspoon of your favorite jelly to top of each muffin before baking
Finely chopped nuts
Cinnamon Granola
Brown sugar

SAVORY: Crumbled bacon
Grated cheese
Sunflower seeds
Tips to help you make the perfect muffin: Don't over-mix! Stir the batter until the dry ingredients are just moist. The batter should be lumpy. Over-mixing will result in a tough muffin. Make sure to grease the muffing tins or use paper baking cups. This is especially important if you're baking a low-fat recipe which tends to stick. Remove muffins from tins as soon as you take them out of the oven. Remove the paper liners as soon as the muffin is cool enough to handle to prevent sticking as well. Muffins are best when they're hot out of the oven. If you're not using a topping, you can brush the tops of each muffin with melted butter, if desired, to give a nice appearance.

Three tier round off white fondant wedding cake with ice blue, aqua and white crystal sugar snowflakes. Some are detailed in royal icing, with pearl and silver accent the boarders are hand rolled pearls.


Two tier chocolate fondant wedding cake with real baby apples.

We belive everyone should have the creative one of a kind cake of their dreams to make the event memorable. There is no such thing as a standard for wedding cakes these days. Your cake can be a one of a kind art work that represents you and your personality.
The groom's cake can be a 3D sculpture that incorporates his hobbies, sports or anything that makes him feel special. Many times the Groom has little to do with planning the wedding and this will keep him from feeling left out. It can be served as the dessert for the rehersal dinner or at the reception.
As the outside of cakes have changed, so have the inside. Gone are the dry white sponge cakes of the past. Now people are choosing what they really love to eat. It could be chocolate fudge with caramel and butterfinger candy bars or Amaretto with Kaluha butter cream. Each tier can be a different flavor with any filling you can dream of.

Easy cupake and icing recipe

Art Eats Bakery, Greenville, SC   http://www.arteatsbakery.com/
Our cake recipes are a very closely guarded secret. However we would like to start sharing some of our other recipes that are easy to make at home. We do not have a regular retail bakery, so these yummy treats are not available in our bakery. We only make specialty cakes that are baked to order. We will also include some savory recipes. I will try to give you two recipes a week.
Cookies and cream cupcakes
2 -1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 - 2/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temp.)
3 egg whites (room temp.)
1 cup milk (room temp.)
2 teaspoons real vanilla
1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies plus some for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper baking cups.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt together in bowl and set aside.
Beat butter until light and fluffy with an electric mixer. Add sugar and beat about 1 minute on medium. Add egg whites and beat 1 minute.
Add the flour mixture, vanilla and milk and beat on low about a minute keeping the sides and bottom scraped. Add the cookies and stir in.
Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full and bake 20 - 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool and frost with your favorite icing or use the butter cream recipe that follows. then sprinkle with more cookie crumbs.

Basic butter cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 (16 ounce) package of 10X powdered sugar, sifted
2 Teaspoons of you favorite flavoring
3 tablespoons of milk
Beat butter untill creamy, gradually add the powdered sugar while beating. It will seem dry when it is all added. Add liquids gradually while beating. The longer you beat it, the fluffier it will become.

We hope you will enjoy making and eating these delicous little morsels. This is a great recipe to make with kids.
