Carrot Cake Eye Balls

This human anatomy recipe is a cinch and perfect for the Halloween party Mr. (S)Murphy and I attended. They are cake balls, a great little idea inspired by the cake pop craze of this lady.

A super easy recipe, the only thing hard about them is to find time to do it!
What you need:
1 Box cake mix (I used carrot cake for these)
1 can frosting (pick something that goes well with your cake choice)
2 bags of dipping chocolate of dipping candy
decorative frosting

Instructions:
Bake the cake as directed on the box (I chose to do this the night before) and allow the cake to cool completely.
Once the cake is cooled, crumble it up in a large bowl, add the frosting and mix together thoroughly. Either use a spoon or your hands and make balls out of the mixture placing them on a wax paper covered cookie sheet. Place in the freezer until the balls are firm enough for dipping. Melt the chocolate as directed on the packaging and then dip each ball in covering completely. After the chocolate hardens decorate to your little hearts content.

So easy and so fun! My sister has made these for things like weddings and on the bakerilla website you can see all the way cute and creative things she's done with her awesome cake pop idea. Enjoy!

...I got love in my tummy.

I have decided that in addition to my general blog I wanted to start adding recipes, then I though it would be easier to have a separate blog that is dedicated to cooking, that way people who are interested can steal (guilt free) my recipes and those who aren't interested in what's for dinner don't have to ever know what I'm forcing (he actually inhales most of it on his own I don't even have to ask if he likes it) down Mr. Murphy's throat.

Today's recipe is SUPER easy, which is exactly how I like to cook. It's called Pepperjack Chicken, though we decided we prefer provolone cheese so we substitute the Pepperjack with provolone. The best past, it only calls for 3 ingredients: Chicken breasts, bbq sauce, and cheese.

First you start with some boneless skinless chicken breasts
Next you cut through the middle of each piece of chicken and stuff with provolone cheese (or which ever cheese you prefer) and seal the chicken shut with toothpicks or skewers like so:
Next you'll want to place the chicken in a frying pan and cover until the juices run clear.
Then you will continuously baste the chicken with bbq sauce until the chicken is completely cooked. Once it is completely cooked through you're done! Remove the toothpicks carefully and enjoy with the sides of your choice.
