Tarragon too subtle

Well, I am just now able to catch up on my blog and other biz stuff. Looks like Sundays may be my days to catch up on this stuff. I had a great week and even managed to try the Tarragon recipe. Seems the tarragon was too subtle. Even tried it in the frosting. Not very noticable. I would imagine more than 2 packages of tarragon would have to go in to even give a slight flavor.

Trying to get the chocolate and chili recipe together. I have few ideas. My aunt just gave me a great idea of PB & J....ooh, but you would never imagine what the ingredients are...not peanut butter or jelly...you'll have to wait and see...pretty sophisticated!

Tarragon and Chocolate

Been dying to try this one too. Tarragon is similar to anise in flavor. This flavor goes really well with chocolate. My recipe will be laced with fresh chopped tarragon. I'm thinking I will use the chocolate cake from the chocolate revelation.

Recently, I've been wondering what a 7 minute frosting with some tweaks would do for frosting...I just love that stuff on a chocolate layered cake. My boyfriend thought it was plain and ordinary. After hearing him say that...I guess that is similar to the grocery store bought ones. Making it from scratch though...its like fluffernutter. Marshmallowy...mmm. He didn't like it, so I guess I won't use it...Maybe an herb or extract mixed in will change it competely. We'll see;-)

Peaches, Blueberry and Thyme recipe

I am playing with a new concoction...peaches, blueberries and thyme. As you know, The Peppered Cupcake thinks outside of the box when it comes to these tasty morsels. I love to incorporate fresh herbs into everything. Sinking your tastebuds into a cupcake laced with herbs, well that's a horse of a different color. I may get rid of the red velvet...not a favorite of mine, but its a traditional one.

This one will be for the spring...right around the corner!
