RECIPE TO TRY – CONFETTI CUPCAKES
I was in the mood to relive my childhood days. The responsibilities of being an adult (yuck) were weighing heavily on my shoulders and I thought that a confetti cupcake was the answer (it was). I wanted a quick fix and almost (gasp!) bought the box mix for funfetti cupcakes. Instead, I took a deep breath and reminded myself that the extra 20 minutes it takes to make it homemade is ...

I wandered down the street and, by a stroke of luck ... Read the Post

Nearly everytime I'm about to consume something scrumptious, I snap a quick pic with the camera on my cell phone or my Nikon. And... this would all be for naught... If I didn't share the pictures with you. So, enjoy! Drool, dream, and live vicariously through what I've ... Read the Post
