Ingredients
  1. What you'll need...
  2. 6 large eggs (3 whole, 3 egg whites)
  3. 1 pre made pie crust (or homemade...whatever floats your boat)
  4. 2 large bunches of fresh spinach (if you must you can use 1 package of frozen, but it's not quite the same)
  5. 3 cloves of fresh garlic minced
  6. 1/2 onion finely chopped
  7. 2 cups of shredded cheese (mozzarella/cheddar mixed)
  8. 1 cup of crumbled goat cheese
  9. 1 cup milk (or rice milk if you're not doing dairy)
  10. salt/pepper to taste
  11. 1 tsp. olive oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Place crust in a tart or shallow pie dish, fork bottom and place pie beads on crust so it doesn't bubble.  Bake crust for 20-30 minutes.  Remove and set aside.
  3. In a sauté pan add 1 tsp of olive oil let heat, add onions and garlic.  Saute for 3-5 minutes or until onions are translucent.  Begin to add spinach and cook until it just begins to soften 2-3 minutes. **You want the spinach to be softened but not wilted by the heat**
  4. In a large bowl add eggs, milk, shredded cheese, and goat cheese.  Stir in spinach, onion and garlic mixture.  Add salt and pepper, stir together.
  5. Add entire mixture to your tart pan and cook for 45-50 minutes or until the top starts to just brown.  If crust begins to burn cover with pie covers or tin foil.
  6. Let cool for 5-10 minutes and enjoy!

Chocolate Peppermint Kiss CupcakesChocolate Peppermint Kiss CupcakesChocolate Peppermint Kiss Cupcakes

Today marks the last day of my chocolate peppermint baking journey (well maybe not the last last as I’ll be sharing another recipe over on Lark and Linen’s blog soon, but it’s the last day on my blog) so why not go with a bang.  Or rather a kiss.  I give you Chocolate Peppermint Kiss Cupcakes.

By adding a simple, and oh so delicious, Hershey Candy Cane Kiss, a little peppermint extract and crushed candy cane I’ve taken the best chocolate and buttercream frosted cupcake to a whole other festive level.  And the frosting.  I can’t even talk about the frosting.  Well actually if you’ve been following me on Twitter you’d know that I’ve been eating the chocolate buttercream frosting morning, noon and night for the past few days.  Hello holiday gluttony.  Happy Monday Loves…only two more sleeps till Christmas!  truly, MKR

Ingredients
  1. 3 cups sugar
  2. 3 cups all-purpose flour
  3. 1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  4. 1 tablespoon baking soda
  5. 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  6. 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  7. 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, room temperature
  8. 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  9. 3 large eggs
  10. 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  11. 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  12. 1 bag of Hershey Candy Cane Kisses
  13. CK Products Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
  14. crushed candy cane pieces
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line standard muffin pan with paper liners. Place 1 kiss in the center of each paper liner.
  3. In a large mixing bowl whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add buttermilk, vegetable oil, and 1 1/2 cups warm water; whisk to combine.
  5. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract and whisk until smooth.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about 2/3 of the way full)
  7. Bake 18-22 minutes. **Normally I insert a toothpick in the center of the cupcake to check if cupcakes are done, but you don't want to hit the Hershey kiss so test by inserting just outside the center. The toothpick should come out clean with a few crumbs attached.**
  8. Transfer to wire rack and let completely cool.
  9. Frost with CK Products Chocolate Buttercream Frosting.
Notes
  1. I've tried numerous buttercream frosting recipes and brands, however CK Products Buttercream Frosting is by far the BEST I've ever tasted!

New Year, New Beauty Routine

From left to right, top to bottom…Clarisonic Opal  ||  HollyBeth Organics body oil  ||  The Lip Scrub  ||  Mario Badescu rose water spray  ||  Mario Badescu anti acne serum  ||  Biscuits tray  ||  Saint Laurent touche eclat  ||  Amore Pacific moisturizing mask  ||  HollyBeth Organics eye cream  ||  Lollia Wander bubble bath 

As amazing and exciting as WOM always seems to be the truth is it’s really taken a toll on my mind and body.  I swear I’ve aged a decade over the last year.  So one of my resolutions for 2014 is to take better care of myself both inside and out.  Inside by taking more “Mandy” time to un-plug and de-stress.  Outside, by amping up my beauty routine and understanding that mother nature is going to be less gracious each coming year and I need to fight the good fight with every tool I have in my arsenal.

The trick is my skin is…well tricky.  It’s oily, it’s dry, it’s super sensitive, and it’s been the bane of my existence my entire life honestly.  But I feel like I’m finally getting a handle on it.  So here’s the skinny…I’m alternating the Mario Badescu anti acne serum with the Amore Pacific moisturizing mask each night and spraying the Mario Badescu rose water spray on each morning.  And shockingly my skin is brighter, and looking all around healthier without breaking out.  

For my eyes, that struggle has just begun as it appears my eyes (or rather the bags under them) are where I’m going to age first.  At night I’m using HollyBeth Organics eye cream which is ah-mah-zing.  And for the day the Saint Laurent touche eclat is a game changer.  Everyone rush out and buy this product.  I promise you won’t regret it.

Lastly I’ve recently begun using the Clarisonic Opal which I’ve been assured by numerous people that it will take back that decade I feel I’ve lost this past year.  And when all else fails a little Lollia bubble bath and HollyBeth Organics body oil soak in the tub with a big glass of red wine seems to do the trick.  So Loves, please share if you have any beauty secrets I need to know about?  truly, MKR
