Cupcake-Gate 2014

To my family near and far,
Yeah people be loco for cupcakes. I suppose it's because they are pretty wonderful. Just a little mini cake which probably makes most people feel like a kid again and who doesn't love that feeling? It all started out of a birthday necessity and we ended the weekend with several flavors due to one peanut allergy, one chocolate allergy and one strawberry allergy, Two bakeries and not enough cupcakes to go around, but by the end everyone had at least a bite or two and that seemed to keep the monsters inside us all in check. I guess it only seems right to have people fighting over sugary substances that make you feel so good, it's comfort food after all. Besides I only want to be in a family that fights over cupcakes because that makes me feel like I truly belong. I heart sugar and my family what can I say? A cupcake is really just a piece of nostalgia that we all want to cling to.

May your bake sale memories and
classroom parties be Forever Frosted!

XOXO

P.S. If we start fighting over wine, then I might just cut a %$&#$,
Good thing that will never happen! :-)

Peach on Earth

We had our Office Christmas Party the other day and decided on a three ingredient no-fail recipe! It always delivers and rarely leaves leftovers. Peach-BBQ Lil' Smokies 2-14 oz package of Lil' Smokies cocktail sausages 1-16 oz jar of Peach Preserves 1-16 oz bottle of BBQ sauce Put all ingredients into a crockpot, stir and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.  Serves 12-15, I would double for larger crowds.

Whip it Whip it good

Coconut whipped cream It's so good, it only requires 3 ingredients, it's vegan and has none of that artificial garbage. Yes, the can is upside down and yes it is necessary. It probably wasn't necessary to take a picture of it upside down, but it's funny so there! 1 can of full fat coconut milk, chill in fridge overnight 2 tsp sugar  1/2 tsp vanilla Put your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 5 minutes. Open coconut milk upside down, pour out the liquid and save for another use. Scoop out the cream and add to chilled bowl. Whip with electric mixers or a Kitchenaid mixer with paddle attachment. Add sugar and vanilla. Continue to whip until light and fluffy. Use this like cool whip, I even used it to make a layered oreo dessert it was delish!
