(i like my garlic so i add 2 even when i make half a recipe)<BR/><BR/><BR/>put bacon in soup pot and cook until almost done, remove.<BR/>add garlic and sautee over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.<BR/>add tomatoes+juice, sugar, pepper and chicken stock. cover and simmer for 15 minutes.<BR/>put into blender (no need to cool) and puree.<BR/>return to soup pot, add cream. heat to slow boil and simmer for 1-2 minutes. add balsamic vinegar and serve. <BR/><BR/>see...super easy!<BR/><BR/><BR/>as for the cupcakes, you use no paper liner. lightly spray the silicone liners with pam and they'll slide right out. i only placed mine on liners because i took them to bible study and wanted everyone to be able to have something to rest them on. they don't even fit in a normal liner because they're slightly smaller than a regular cupcake. so cute!tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166293341618586732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631829648712496053.post-79282206088343187202009-03-02T15:44:00.000-06:002009-03-02T15:44:00.000-06:00too cute.hopefully in the next few weeks i'll be p...too cute.<BR/><BR/>hopefully in the next few weeks i'll be posting some photos/commentary detailing my dive into italian cooking. sauce from scratch, gnocchi from scratch, that sort of thing. all much easier than it sounds and possibly something you could add to your romantic dinners in menu? i don't want to become someone who blogs only about food haha, but it's so fun!tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166293341618586732noreply@blogger.com
