On the Road Again

Finally. I’ve been pretty lazy lately, I’ll admit it. I’m not proud of it. I think everyone goes through that at some points though. You are fired up about training for a race (or whatever), and you run run run … Continue reading

Fudgey Brownie Cupcakes

I did it again. I made something great, despite my lack of supplies in the pantry (and fridge). I’m kind of a big deal. OK, I’m not, since I didn’t make up this recipe. But I still kind of am. … Continue reading

Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes

My life was changed forever last night. I discovered Swiss meringue buttercream frosting. Ridiculous. I put off trying it for a while because, frankly, it seemed like a lot of work. No, I thought. I’ll just stick to my regular … Continue reading

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Hostess Copycat Cupcakes

I’ll admit it: I was really doubtful that these cupcakes would turn out. I’d had a few gluten-free desserts in my life, and they kinda tasted the same: dense, fudge-y (not necessarily in a good way) and not a lot … Continue reading
