Ginger Muffins from Orangette: These muffins are slightly sweet but with a spicy bite from the ginger root. Next time I'm going to follow Molly's advice and add more than the recipe calls for. There's a gentle citrusy undertone from the lemon zest that makes these taste very fresh and light.
BBQ Chicken Tenders from How Sweet It Is: I recently discovered Jessica's hilarious blog, and she has a ton of great ideas. She makes several variations of chicken fingers, and I used this recipe one night last week. It's a simple method that can be modified in many different ways, and I'm definitely going to fall back on it when I need a quick dinner.
Cookies and Cream Brownies from How Sweet It Is: Originally I found this blog because of the Cookie Dough Dip (which I still haven't made), but I felt the need to try these cookie bar brownies immediately when I saw the post. I made the original as well as a batch with thin mints instead of oreos, and leftover chocolate whiskey ganache instead of the peanut butter mixture. Both were divine, and very popular at a party.
Pressed Sandwiches from Crepes of Wrath: I never would have thought to do this myself, but making one big sandwich and then cutting it into pieces to serve to a group is a brilliant idea. I was really excited to make these because it gave me an excuse to go to the butcher for prosciutto and mortadella. Bonus: I was able to use up the remaining homemade pesto I froze last summer.
Irish Car Bomb Cake inspired by the Chocolate Whiskey and Beer Cupcakes from Smitten Kitchen: I've been trying to find a way to make this recipe again since I made the lucky cupcakes last year. It wasn't a pretty cake, but it was so good that no one really noticed. The Bailey's buttercream frosting is to die for.
