Prototype...

First off, let me say that this is the first time I've posted a blog via my phone, so I'm not sure what to expect as far as layout goes. But yay for apps for every occasion!!

Second, I think I might be crazy. But in a fantastically delicious sort of way. I mean, if you're considering befriending a crazy person, you should probably pick me. Because I will feed you some good things...

A few days ago, I mentioned some of my weirdo ideas for my future careers, and one that has stuck with me for over a year now is my cupcake plan. I don't have a name for it yet, but I do have a list of amazing cupcake-shaped foods, a few of which I mentioned in my last post. Like I said, think of your favorite food and make it a cupcake. Tacos? Sure! Thanksgiving dinner? Ok! It sounds nuts, but once you try one, you won't have a choice but to give in and have another one.

This week, I'm holding a test kitchen. I'm going to try a few of my ideas and I'll post them here for all to see. I'm going to warn you: it's gotten off to a great start. I tried my easiest and longest-standing plan of meatloaf cupcakes with a ketchup center and mashed potato "frosting". This was the first cupcake that I came up with, and is probably rather...uninspired, to be honest. I'm sure many people have done something similar, but it's the idea that started the ball rolling and has helped me think of all of the others that I will be trying this week. And actually, they turned out perfectly (minus the bit of smoke from spilled grease in the oven)! And they're HEALTHY, believe it or not! I'm afraid to tell you what's in them because they may not sound as great as they look, but I'll tell you what: even after telling Trevor the secret healthy ingredients, he still loves them. And that should be your proof.

Here's the thing: I would love to have some help adding to my test menu. What are some of your favorite meals (breakfast, lunch or dinner)? My list so far includes things like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, spaghetti and meatballs, Thanksgiving dinner, corn dogs, etc. Challenge me!! And if you want to try some, tell me! I'd love to have some feedback.

Crossing my fingers for a bit of success in this weirdo, wacky idea of mine. No matter how silly it may seem.
