Peanut Butter Brownie Cupcakes

Ok, so I realize I can not compete with Pinterest.....but at least I can give my stamp of approval on the worthy ones! I have made SO many recipes from the ever so addicting pinterest, and they are not all good. THIS one however is definitely a keeper. They look so fancy too when you're done. Perfect for company or a party, etc.

Ingredients: Package of brownie mix (and whatever the box says you need too)
                   8 oz. cream cheese, softened
                   1/3 cup sugar
                   1 egg
                    1/4 cup peanut butter
                  1/2 tsp. vanilla
                   Whip cream
                   maraschino cherries

Directions: Preheat your oven to 350.
    Make the brownie mix as it says on the box. Pour into lined cupcake pan. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg, peanut butter and vanilla until blended well. Spoon a decent blob into the center of each brownie batter cup. Press down on it a bit to push it in the batter a little. Bake for about 30 minutes. Let them cool and then top with whip cream and a cherry! Yummy!

Easy Corn Casserole




Ok, so I haven't posted on here in forever! I feel like the last couple months have flown by! We just recently moved to a new house, and we are finally settling in. I don't even know what recipe to start with....but I'm keeping it simple and going with an extra easy one. :)
   This corn casserole is seriously SO easy and it goes well with many dishes. I usually like to make it with "mexican" dinners...like if I make tacos, or enchiladas. It would go good with chili too!

Ingredients: 2 eggs, beaten
                    1 can corn, don't drain
                    1 can cream corn, don't drain
                    1/4 cup butter (melted)
                    1 box jiffy cornbread mix
                     1 onion, chopped
                    *jalapeno, chopped *if you're feeling spicy

Directions:  So all you have to do is mix the beaten eggs with the cans of corn, then add the melted butter, jiffy mix, onions, and jalapeno (if you want them). Pour it in a greased 8x8 dish.
Bake at 375 for about 45 min. to up to an hour. SO EASY!

*I always sprinkle sea salt on top when it's done
