When it comes to M&M candies in our house, my husband is a vulture. In the process of making these cupcakes, I had to run out for a little while. As I’m looking at all of the sorted colored candies on the counter, the thought crossed my mind of giving my husband a head’s up. … Continue reading »
When it comes to eggnog, usually the first image that pops into my head is a scene from the movie “Christmas Vacation.” Uncle Eddie takes the little moose head glass and gets himself a refill of the eggnog in the living room and slurps loudly, while he’s babbling away to a very uninterested Clark Griswold. … Continue reading »
Click here to watch the video how to make these cupcakes! I’ll be honest…I’m not a big fan of pumpkin. But, these are absolutely delicious! The combination of yellow cake mix, cinnamon and pumpkin compliment each other so well. I normally make these in a mini muffin pan, and one batch makes about 90. Yes, … Continue reading »
Mmmmmm…Cooookies!!!! Just reading that phrase puts the Cookie Monster’s voice in my head. Love it. I saw the picture for these super cute cupcakes about six months ago, and knew exactly when to make them…for my 41 year old brother’s birthday. You may wonder why I would make them for an old guy like him, and … Continue reading »
As I was scrolling through Reese’s Facebook page, it hit me… I hadn’t made some cupcakes with those delicious little peanut butter chips in them. So, that quickly made the top of my to-do list, especially since I was going to a cookout where there would be some cupcake fans there. Oh yeah, and they … Continue reading »
I love the sound of this name…caramel macchiato. Sounds elegant and delicious. I’ve heard people mention this in a way that just makes it sound yummy…maybe it’s just the tone in their voices because they love it so much. Either way, I had to try it…and was quite impressed myself. When it comes to making cupcakes … Continue reading »
After experimenting with the layered chocolate cheesecake cake, I decided to use a different flavor and put them into a jumbo cupcake size. Sounds like a good plan, right? I agree. From getting other people’s opinions, one of the most liked flavors that I hear people melt when this flavor is mentioned, is red velvet. … Continue reading »
Here we go again…but this time, with cookie dough and cupcakes. As I’ve said before, when I’m making cookies, I have to hide the dough from my husband because he’ll come scraping the bowl…but being the worry wart that I am, the thought of anyone consuming raw eggs makes me nervous. Ick. That’s actually what … Continue reading »
A little over a year ago, I was introduced to Sangria. Back then, I wasn’t a fan of red wine just yet, but have always liked the sweeter drinks. I’ve been reading for years that red wine is the best alcoholic beverage for your health, and a small glass a day is beneficial to the … Continue reading »
Well, Cinco de Mayo is coming up this weekend, and we all know what that means…TEQUILA! Such a great song, I always think of the Pee Wee Herman movie when he jumps up on the bar and starts doing the dance in those big ole shoes with that goofy look on his face. Next thing you … Continue reading »
About a month ago, a very close friend’s mother lost her battle with cancer. Rhonda was a wonderful woman with a good heart, spoke her mind, and laughed all the time. Literally, all the time…she always had a smile on her face. She organized the Relay for Life in Myrtle Beach and her hometown. Before she … Continue reading »
Although I may not be able to cure cancer…yet…that doesn’t mean I can’t honor the people who have battled cancer. There are two cancer benefits on the same day in two different cities that are 150 miles apart, and I’m donating several dozen to both places. Crazy? Yes, that just may be the case here. … Continue reading »
On Easter, we celebrated with my husband’s family. My mother-in-law always has great magazines that I like to thumb through, including Southern Living. Well, this issue had a section with just strawberry flavored desserts, drinks and other snacks. Just reading over the recipes made me excited and want to try a bunch of them, so … Continue reading »
Easter is a big holiday for cakes, candies, chocolates…anything sweet, you name it. Since I haven’t made lemon cupcakes before, this past weekend seemed like a perfect opportunity for it, and to use family as guinea pigs. They’re just so lucky…or doomed. While thinking about colors and flavors with what to decide on for … Continue reading »
What? Yep, that’s right. These cupcakes have protein powder in them! Protein builds muscles, muscles eat fat…nuff said. This has definitely been a trial and error situation with these cupcakes. The first batch was so awful that I took a bite, said, “Bleh!” and threw all two dozen of them away. The second batch was … Continue reading »
