We’re excited to welcome a brand new guest judge to The CSI Project–and she’s absolutely the perfect judge for our Fall Food Challenge. Joining us this week from Hoosier Homemade, say hello to “The Cupcake Lady”, Liz.
Liz was born in Indiana and lives there to this day, a true Hoosier through and through! She is a wife and mother to three teens.
Here’s what Liz says when asked what inspires her to write Hoosier Homemade:
I have enjoyed Homemaking for most of my life, even as a young girl growing up, I often helped my Mom in the kitchen and yes, even pulling weeds in the garden. Although I enjoy all different types of Homemaking: Cooking, Cleaning, Decorating, Gardening…I enjoy Baking the most. I would love to just bake all day every day if I could. Therefore, most of what you will find on Hoosier Homemade are my mouthwatering creations.
At Hoosier Homemade, every Tuesday is Cupcake Tuesday. Liz hosts a delightful weekly linkup devoted to the art of cupcake baking. It’s very fun to look through the links of darling cupcakes.
Take a look at these festive cupcakes-on-a-stick that Liz invented for the last linkup. She calls them candy corn cupcakes. Amazing!
If you are a die-hard cupcake fan, then Liz is your gal. Hoosier Homemade is the site of what Liz calls Cupcake Heaven–where you can learn all about how to bake, decorate, and present cupcakes. Liz has compiled all kinds of detailed tutorials (some are even videos) to help you make cupcakes like the ones she shares. You can go there to learn all her tips and tricks….
….including one for making cupcakes for our very own CSI Girl, Jen: Tatertots and Jello cupcakes!
Liz’s homemaking skills are definitely not limited to cupcakes. In the Mixing Spoons section at Hoosier Homemade, Liz has listed all of her delicious recipes by category. And what a list it is! You’ll find honest-to-goodness homemade appetizers, side dishes, and entrees, like this Taco Ring.
To give you a little added inspiration for this week’s challenge, we’re going to show you some of the yummy fall foods that you’ll find at Hoosier Homemade. (These are the ones that really got our mouths watering.)
