It is Girl Scout Cookie Season, and I am patiently awaiting the arrival of the cookies I ordered. My favorite has always been the Samoas, with Thin Mints coming in as a close second. I thought that this year I would incorporate the cookies into some fun recipes. When I started my search, I was focused on dessert and snack recipes, but was intrigued when I found some meal recipes incorporating these yearly sweet treats. Check out these recipes:
Fried Samoas Shrimp
Do-Si-Dos Peanut Thai Chicken
Berry Munch Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad
Of course, I have to share some of the dessert recipes I found:
Thin Mints Cheesecake
Samoas Ice Cream Truffles
Hamburger Cookies
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
Lemon Cooler Surprise Pudding
Berry Munch Bread Pudding
So what is your favorite Girl Scout Cookie? Do you have any creative recipes you use when you have leftover Girl Scout Cookies?

Cupcakes and bakeries are a big business in NYC! If I had more days there, I would try every cupcake bakery in the city. If anyone wants to sponsor a Cupcake Tour of NYC…just let me know because I am game 
. Meghann and I stopped in Magnolia Bakery, and making a choice from all the delicious looking cupcakes proved to be extremely difficult.
I decided on the traditional vanilla decorated for Valentine’s and it was amazing!!! The cake and the icing were perfect!
On my last day in NYC, I decided to have cupcakes for lunch and visited Eleni’s in Chelsea Market.
I choose two mini vanilla cupcakes with buttercream icing and a side of George Clooney! All the sweet treats were delicious!
Oh man…now I am craving cupcakes! I may have to bake up a batch and hope they come close to tasting like the treats I had in NYC
