Happy Recipe Posting of the Day

For Easter:
Cadbury Creme Egg Muffins

Yes, that's right, a cadbury creme egg embedded inside a vanilla muffin....it's calling your name.Eowyn

Also, a lazy hamantaschen recipe

Happy Dog Moment of the Day: Eowyn joyously outracing the other golden retriever at the dog run.

Sad-puzzling moment of the day: How exactly does someone lose a 125-lb Newfie? I mean, I'm sorry for the owners and I hope they find their dog soon, but really, it's not like they run very fast, or you can just steal one and tuck it in a handbag. And, um, not exactly inconspicuous.

ooh, great recipe. I was drooling over the hamantaschen at the supermarket even though they looked pretty crappy... I have never made them before, but when i get back from Cleveland it might just be time. :)

If this is your first time making hamantaschen, I have two pieces of advice:

1) chocolate chips are an awesome filling :)
2) be careful not to overfill! It's really easy to overfill, and when that happens, they unfold while they're baking, and the filling spills out and it's horrible and messy. I've made them a bunch of times and I still have a hard time getting it right. So use less filling than you think they need :)

Thanks for the tips! I will exercise caution and restraint in my fillings. :)

Why are you going to Cleveland?

My grandmother lives in Cleveland, my mom's family is from there.
