first post!

This blog is for sharing of recipes. Here's my first contribution. I'm going to move all my recipe posts from my other blog to this one so be prepared for a handful. Haha.

Broken Glass Jello

4 small boxes of jello, different colors
(14oz) can condensed milk
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
water


-Dissolve each box of jello separately, into one cup of hot water. Pour into individual containers (small tupperware works well) and chill overnight.
-Ready a 9x13 pan. Cut flavors of jello into small blocks. Mix together carefully in pan.
-In a separate bowl, dissolve 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water. Add dissolved gelatin to 1 3/4 cup hot water and condensed milk. Cool.
-Pour cooled milk mixture over jello and chill overnight.
-Cut into squares and serve!


Vampire Cupcakes

1 box white cake mix (also eggs, oil, water as it asks for)
1 can cherry pie filling
1 tub any kind of white colore icing (i really like cream cheese frosting)

-Bake cupcakes according to directions on box. While they bake, pour the cherry pie filling in a blender or food processor of some sort and puree. Let cupcakes cool completely. 
-Once they've cooled, take a small paring knife and cut a small cone (about 1 inch across and 1 inch deep) in each cupcake. Cut off the pointy end of the cone leaving a little cap to place back on each cupcake. 
-Spoon about a tablespoon of the pie filling into the holes and then place the "plug" back on top to cover the filling.
-Stir the icing so its nice and soft then ice them by putting a dollop of icing in the center of the cupcake and gently spreading outward from the center. 
-Dip a wooden toothpick into the remaining pie filling and poke to fang marks on the top. Dribble a little filling out of the holes for effect.
-Enjoy!


Spider Web Eggs

1 dozen large eggs
8 cups water
2 cups frozen blueberries

-Place eggs in single layer in a large saucepan, and cover with water and blueberries. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Cover; let stand for 10 minutes.
-Using a slotted spoon, remove eggs one at a time, and place on several layers of paper towels. Lightly crack shell on one side with the handle of a whisk or wooden spoon. Transfer egg to medium bowl. Repeat with remaining eggs and then pour all of the cooking liquid on top of the cracked eggs. Place bowl in the refrigerator and let cool completely.
-Carefully peel shells from eggs. Serve with salt.
