Bruschetta and a Cupcake Fail

A little birdie told me that you have a fever that only cowbell...and goat cheese bruschetta can cure:) I made some tonight for our "Celebrate Haley Game Night" and it was sooooo good! Here's the recipe! You can also find it here: http://recipes.health.com/recipes/10000001046830-goat-cheese-bruschetta

Goat Cheese Bruchetta

Ingredients
1/2 cup chopped seeded plum tomato
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup (2 ounces) goat cheese with fine herbs, divided
8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices diagonally cut French bread baguette, toasted

Preparation

1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a medium bowl, tossing gently. Let stand 15 minutes.

2. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons goat cheese on each bread slice. Using a slotted spoon, arrange 1 tablespoon tomato mixture over cheese. Serve immediately.

Also...we made some cupcakes out of my new Dreamcakes Cupcake Cookbook. And....they were a disappointment. The recipe called for soft wheat flour (whatever the heck t hat is) so I used wheat pastry flour. The result was something similar to cornbread. The cream cheese frosting was amazing though, so here is that recipe:)

Dreamcakes' Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter
1 8oz. package of cream cheese
2 16oz. boxes of powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preparation
Mix together butter and cream cheese until smooth. Slowly incorporate all powdered sugar until well blended. Mix in salt, then vanilla. Voila.

See you tomorrow in MEMPHIS!!!
