<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I decided to make Watermelon cupcakes because they looked FANTABULOUS!!!!! (Original recipe <a href="http://bakingdom.com/2010/08/my-new-favorite-cupcake-watermelon.html" target="_blank">here</a>)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had to alter it because i didn't order enough watermelon oil (hence the watermelon apple cupcake name)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line to muffin pans with cupcake liners.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in s small bowl; set aside.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a large bowl, or the bowl of a standing mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition and scraping the bowl as needed. Stir in the watermelon flavoring. Add about a third of the flour mixture and beat on medium speed until just mixed. Add half of the sour cream, beating until just mixed. Repeat this process with the remaining flour mixture and sour cream. Add color as desired. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">NOTE: I poured the sugar pearls and mixed in the mixer DO NOT do that. the sugar balls will crush and you will loose the pink coloring as I did. I would put some in and then with a spatula fold it in so you don't loose the pink color.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place two tablespoons batter into each cup of lined muffin pans and bake at for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with one or two crumbs clinging to it.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Allow to cool completely before frosting.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To make the frosting: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and about a third of the confectioners’ sugar. Stir in the milk and mix thoroughly before beating in another third of the confectioners’ sugar. Next stir in the lemon juice and the remaining sugar, beating until well mixed and light and fluffy. Add all of the watermelon flavoring. If the frosting is too soft, add more sugar, as needed. Add coloring as desired.</span></div>

<br />
Here is the <a href="http://8weekstoabetteryourecipes.blogspot.com/p/breakfast-smoothies.html" target="_blank">original</a> recipe<br />
<br />
Here is what did<br />
<br />
pre-heat oven at 350<br />
<br />
4 bananas<br />
2 cups of white flour<br />
3/4 cup of honey<br />
1/2 up of un-sweetend apple sauce<br />
1/4 tsp salt<br />
1 tsp baking soda<br />
2 eggs<br />
<br />
put all dry ingredients together and mix<br />
in another bowl mix all the wet ingredients together then mash bananas<br />
<br />
slowly mix in wet with dry.<br />
<br />
I use a hand mixer and really get it good.<br />
<br />
bake for about 1 hour 15 min or longer. because of the extra banana, its usually more moist. next time i am going to reduce the honey amount...<br />
<br />
this is what i got<br />

<br />
4 large eggs<br />
1/4 cup half-and-half<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
Assorted mix-ins (such as shredded cheese, diced vegetables, and cooked and chopped bacon, ham, or sausage)<br />
**i used peppers & cheddar cheese)<br />
<br />
Heat your oven to 350º F and coat a 6-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.<br />
<br />
Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, and salt in a medium bowl, then evenly distribute the egg mixture among the muffin cups.<br />
<br />
Add about 2 tablespoons of mix-ins to each cup.<br />
<br />
Bake the frittatas until they are puffy and the edges are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.<br />
<br />
(If necessary, run a butter knife around the edge of each one to loosen them before removing them from the pan.) <br />
<br />
Makes 6 frittatas.<br />
<br />
**I froze the left overs and if i want one, i just pop it into the microwave oven for a fast and quick breakfast!<br />

<br />
1 Challah Loaf<br />
8 (ounces) cream cheese, softened<br />
8 large eggs<br />
1-1/2 cups milk<br />
2/3 cup half and half cream<br />
1/2 cup maple syrup<br />
1/2 teaspoon vanilla<br />
2 tablespoons powdered sugar<br />
<br />
cut bread into 1" cubes<br />
spray a large pyrex baking dish<br />
place bread in<br />
<br />
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. <br />
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. <br />
Stir in milk, half and half, 1/2 cup of the maple syrup, and vanilla until mixture is smooth. Pour cream cream cheese mixture over the bread; cover, and refrigerate overnight.<br />
<br />
Remove souffle from refrigerator, and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. <br />
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.<br />
<br />
Bake uncovered, for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. <br />
<br />
Pour about 3/4 cup maple syrup (or drizzle to desired taste) over souffle, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm.<br />
