Pumpkin Cream Cheese Cupcakes
I made these today- they are pumpkin cupcakes with a cream cheese filling. The top of the cupcake has orange buttercream frosting with a white chocolate leaf accent on it. I was wanting to make a fall cupcake since I am getting in the autumn season mood and these turned out delicious!

Gorgonzola Chicken Tacos
Gorgonzola Chicken Tacos-
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. chicken breast
- 28oz can of stewed tomatoes
- 1/8 fresh garlic clove chopped
- 1/8 cup chopped white onion
- 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
- 12 flour tortillas (or taco shells)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup gorgonzola cheese
- oven bag
Optional:
- shredded cheese
- salsa
- lettuce
- tomato
- cilantro
- taco hot sauce
1). Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2). Place chicken in the oven bag
3). On the stove, simmer stewed tomatoes, garlic, onion, and peppers together for 15 minutes
4). Pour the sauce over the chicken in the oven bag and close tightly, leaving slits on the top of the oven bag for steam to escape.
5). Place the oven bag in the oven for 30 minutes until chicken is cooked thoroughly
6). Toast tortillas or taco shells in the oven for 3 minutes to crisp
7). Take the chicken out of the oven bag and cut into small pieces
8). Put chicken onto toasted flour tortillas or taco shells, add desired toppings
The stewed tomatoes, veggies, and garlic cook into the chicken while in the oven bag and actually give it a juicy and tender consistency as well as an authentic Mexican flavor.
Gorgonzola has a blue cheese flavor to it, so if you're not a fan of strong flavored cheeses, try cheddar or feta instead for a less potent taste
