Chief Blonde Remarks: Muffin Tin Chef is surprising for the fact you can use A MUFFIN TIN to create so much good food. I like the fact that there are so many color pictures of all the different recipes. Some of the included recipes are Parmesan Hash Browns, 2 Cheese Smokey Chicken Cups, Cheddar Sage Biscuits, Eggplant Parmesan, Spinach Pesto Bacon Pizza, and Sweet Potato Brownies. Doesn’t THAT lineup make you want to fire up the oven and start making these lovely minis? Also, a neat little edition to each recipe is a KEY that let’s you know if the recipe is Vegan, Gluten free, and/or freezes easily. I totally care about the last one as I love to cook and freeze!
An interesting aspect for me was that the shell of the preparations wasn’t always dough, sometimes it was prosciutto, sometimes the preparations were crustless, or even Cabbage was used. The first recipe I will probably make is the Parmesan Hash Browns but I will probably substitute Spaghetti Squash (cuz I simply CANNOT follow a recipe without changing it)
