Oreo Cupcakes

I made these for my friend for his birthday, if you don't have a sweet tooth these are DEFINITELY not for you =p


Ingredients:
1-Duncan Hines Super Moist Milk Chocolate Cake Mix
all ingredients that the mix calls for(eggs, oil and water)
1 pkg- Oreos
2 tubs of White Frosting

Directions:
Bake cup cakes according to package directions. Let completely cool.
Fill a pastry bag or ziplock plastic bag with the tip cut off with about 3/4 of 1 tub of white icing. Cut a small hole in the center of each cupcake, fill with icing and then put the cut out part back over the hole.
In a large ziplock back put in about 1.5 rows of Oreos (make sure that you have at least 24 whole ones left) seal bag, making sure there is no air in it, then using a rolling pin, smash the Oreos into crumbs.
Mix Oreo crumbs into remaining icing. Ice cupcakes with a spatula or using the bag you used for the filling of the cupcakes.
Decorate cupcakes by placing the remaining whole Oreos on top of each cupcake.

Broccoli Cheese Stuffed Chicken

So I made this tonight and though it needs a little tweaking it was SUPER good!

Ingredients:
4 - boneless skinless chicken breast pounded to about 1/4in thick
1 can - Campbell's Cheddar Cheese Soup or Broccoli Cheese Soup
1.5-2 cups - frozen broccoli florets
1-1.5 cups - Italian Style Bread Crumbs (enough to dredge the stuffed chicken in)
Salt and Pepper to taste
toothpick to keep chicken together

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 Degrees
Put frozen broccoli in microwaveable bowl with a little water and steam in microwave for 1-1.5 mins. Once broccoli is finished drain and give it a rough chop.
Add cheddar cheese soup to chopped broccoli and salt and pepper to taste.
Take chicken and salt and pepper both sides (completely optional, I do this all the time though)
Put 1-2 spoonfuls, just enough to not make pouch over flow too much, of cheese and broccoli mixture into center of chicken breast and then close and hold chicken with toothpicks.
Dredge each breast through the breadcrumbs and place on baking sheet, I would line it just incase the cheese boils over.
Bake for 20-30 mins, or until chicken is cooked all the way through.

Serve over brown or white rice and enjoy! Please feel free to comment with tweaking suggestions! Picture to come soon I promise!
