Snickerdoodle Whoopie Pie Stuffed Cinnamon Roll
This is a guest post from CakeSpy.
CakeSpy Note: This was one of the entries from my "So You Wanna Be a CakeSpy?" Contest--that was too good not to share! Thanks to The Miss Cupcake for sharing the recipe.
Nothing brings families together like Pillsbury cinnamon rolls, or so they say. In this off the wall dessert, the cinnamon roll is just the overcoat to its delicious cake-like insides. Unwrap the cinnamon flesh and feast your eyes and heart upon a snickerdoodle stuffed whoopie pie. Maine, who has claimed the whoopie pie origin, has no rights to this delicious “prize inside” delight. More Here...

A recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research that another factor that influences how much food a person eats is the color of their plate.
The study sent their subjects to a buffet serving pasta. They were split into two groups--one group was served Alfredo sauce (white color) and one was served marinara (red color). Subjects in each line were arbitrarily given red or white plates.More Here...

Mini Baked Frittata with Broccoli, Bacon, and Sharp Cheddar
This is a guest post from For The Love of Cooking.
I was in the mood for a filling and healthy breakfast so I decided to make a mini frittata just for me. I had leftover steamed broccoli in the refrigerator along with a piece of bacon leftover from my kids breakfast and some sharp cheddar and threw them together with two eggs before baking them. The mini frittata turned out light, fluffy, and very flavorful. I’ve never had broccoli with eggs before and I am so glad I finally tried it because it was so good! A nice & healthy breakfast that tasted delicious – you can’t beat that!cMore Here...

A recent press release by the CDC reveals: "While binge drinking is more common among young adults ages 18–34, of those age 65 and older who report binge drinking, they do so more often – an average of five to six times a month."More Here...

Super Bowl Sunday: How Many Wings Do Americans Consume?
The Super Bowl is around the corner and I cannot be more thrilled. The New York Giants are playing (Woohoo!) and it's my yearly excuse to devour all the delicious, unhealthy goodness that I deprive myself of. I absolutely love appetizers and h'orderves so when given the chance to plan, I make sure there's plenty of jalapeño poppers, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, fries, quesadilla rolls, bean dip and pretty much any cheesy appetizer I'm allowed to make or buy.
But it's no secret that buffalo wings are the classic Super Bowl dish. I would have guessed Pizza, but according to the National Chicken Council, Americans are predicted to consume 1.25 billion chicken wings (around 100 million pounds) this Super Bowl weekend alone!More Here...
