This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

I was able to make 24 muffins and 3 mini loaves with this recipe. That was filling each muffin to the top with batter. I am freezing extras. I love the taste of these. They remind me of carrot cake. I used a food processor to grate carrots and apples. The apples I used were 2 small fuji and 2 small red delicious.

I made these yesterday for my daughter's birthday, and I think they are very tasty. She is a picky eater but she seemed to like them too. LOTS of batter! I made 4 mini-bundt cakes for our family celebration, plus about 40 mini-muffins for her to take to preschool. Because the grated apple and carrot pieces were too large for mini-muffins, I decided to puree them with other "wet" ingredients in my food processor. This may have contributed to over-mixing and mine came out a bit chewy, but still good for a healthy treat!
