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 youRead More
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 sheRead More
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.Read More
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, soRead More
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.

The first batch was so awful that I took a bite, said, “Bleh!” and threw all two dozen of them away. The second batch wasRead More
When I came across a recipe using Coffee-Mate’s White Chocolate Caramel Latte creamer…I loved it. I did made a few changes to the recipe that I found to give it a little more of a kick with the flavors, and it turned out delicious! I’ve made cupcakes with caramel and chocolate, chocolate and coffee, butRead More
Now that’s a mouthful…literally! These cupcakes combine the flavors of caramel, apple and cinnamon. I was wondering how the cupcakes were going to turn out, telling myself after they came out of the oven, “I should’ve put cinnamon in the batter. Oh well, I’ll put it in the icing this time and see how it turnsRead More
There’s a word I could use to describe these cupcakes, and that word is…wow. Just, wow. They just might be my new favorite. When I dumped the caramel cake mix into the bowl before the mixing process, I smelled it. Didn’t smell anything. As in, anything. But, after adding the other ingredients and mixing itRead More
Sour apple cupcakes. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. It’s sparked your curiosity, right? Well, it certainly got mine when I started brainstorming a recipe for these guys. It’s definitely not your “typical” cupcake flavor, but hey…sometimes it’s kinda nice to step out of the box of what’s normal. 😉 The icing also has aRead More
