I love Sliders

I jumped on the slider band wagon as soon as I saw it pull in. I love the whole idea of sliders. They are so cute on a plate and they are perfect for kids and they are so full of flavor. AWESOME! Tonight I tried another recipe from the Food Network Magazine for Turkey hummus Sliders. They are So good! Plus I got to use my totally awesome slider pan that I got for christmas. It makes 5 sliders at a time and it forms them into perfect little circles... Im in love!

Turkey Hummus Sliders

1 - 1 1/2 lbs ground Turkey

1/2 cup hummus (use one that has alot of flavour like the spicy red pepper kind)

2 tsp Coriander

Mix together and form into sliders.

Makes about 16 sliders

OK OK OK... so there was alot more to this recipe in the magazine... they made a greeky style topping with cucumber and feta and put the sliders on pitas etc etc etc... but all I did was make the patty part and used store bought buns and regular toppings... Hey I am that kind of mom after all.

But they were still super good! I am so glad we have leftovers!

also Ill share my fail of the day... I tried to make cake balls... Martha stewart I am not... The making of the balls was easy... but then the dipping come... Lets just say I should have done this when Owen was napping and Jaxon was on school. I burnt the candy melts and then I only had cheap beyond poverty chocolate and it wouldnt melt right so I couldnt really dip them... now they look like little blops of mud... or something else... they taste fine though...

Biggest baking fail ever

Today I tried making pillow cookies... I got the recipe from Bakerella but I must be slightly retarded today because they so didnt turn out. I have no idea what I did wrong! I took them out of the oven and they were still raw so inorder to get them cooked I had to double the cooking time and then the edges were super crispy. So I thought I could salvage them and cut the edges off but then it wasnt anything special because it was too much cookie dough and you didnt really notice the brownie stuffed inside... so im think Ill try it again and tweak it like I normally do... maybe Ill 1/2 the amount of dough for each cookie and then you will at least notice the brownie center. Has anyone else tried these cookies... any tips??? I consider myself a decent cook and baker but these little failures have be stumped! so needless to say I have nothing to post... since I was going to post about the cookies... but that was a flop!
