Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes
Sometimes you need to spice things up a bit. A friend of mine had been going on and on about Mexican Hot Chocolate, which is hot chocolate with some added chili pepper and cinnamon. Although I had never tried it myself, I figured it could be easily recreated in a cupcake recipe. I was right. […]
Applesauce Spice Cake
When I reflect on my (f)unemployment of the past 7+ weeks, I realize that, in a way, it’s really been a win-win situation for not only myself, but all my friends. You might not understand what I mean, so let me explain. I used to have a job where I worked all the time, as […]
Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes
When I saw Sweetest Kitchen’s Mystery Box Cupcake Challenge for this month was “Orange,” I actually hesitated before deciding I’d enter.

Top of the mornin’, blueberry
Blueberry muffins. Is there anything better? Part dessert, part breakfast food, and chock full of fresh berries (if you’re doing it right!). I’ve made these for my coworkers before, during blueberry season. How could I not? I can’t eat all those berries by myself, though I try. Sometimes I switch it up with chocolate chips, […]
