Red Velvet cupcakes with creamcheese icing

I realized today that I forgot to post the cupcakes I made for my engagement party. I also made them this past weekend for the couples shower I helped host.
I baked the cupcakes in a mini muffin pan using the Betty Crocker out-of-the-box red velvet recipe. Then I used this recipe from the kraft foods website for my cream cheese icing:

Finally, I crumbled up a couple of the cupcakes (I can afford to because one batch makes about 60 tiny cupcakes!) and sprinkled them on top of the cupcakes (after they are iced, of course) for a little decoration!

Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

 Honey lime chicken enchiladas

Made these for the first time tonight. This is my favorite enchilada recipe I've found. Really flavorful and relatively easy to make. It can be a little time consuming but not if you break up the work by cooking and marinating the chicken a good bit before you start cooking. This will be a repeat for sure!
