A CUPCAKE THREAD?! Off to find it as soon as I post this. I LOVE cupcakes and I used to make them on a weekly basis (I have this GREAT cookbook called "Cupcakes!" by Elinor Klivans and goodness are there some great recipes in there. If you ever go to the library you should check it out.) I'm really fond of Bethenny Frankel too who uses a lot of natural, healthy ingredients (lots of whole wheat flour, raw sugar, no butter, no egg type recipes) and I have to say, her method helped me lose the few extra pounds a few months before the cruise without having to deprive myself of sweets. Ugh, now that I brought the Cupcakes! cookbook out, i'm looking through it, i'm looking at the time, and thinking, "I have PLENTY of time to whip up some cupcakes!" Dang you Bonnie!
Oh my, that sounds delicious! And sounds super easy! Another recipe to add to my Recipes document..I think you've supplied me with 5 or 6 recipes now, so thank you!
My pleasure! I love to cook and bake, and I love trying out different things. I like variety rather than eating the same things all the time, although I do have some staples I love (like my yogurt and fruit!). I will definitely check out Bethenny Frankel...I saw something written about her in a magazine recently...maybe Good Housekeeping, or one of those. I get a few, because my mom added me to her subscriptions. I get Ladies' Home Journal, Family Circle, Good Housekeeping, Woman's Day, and I am probably forgetting one of two! DS6's school had a fundraiser last year and rather than buy cookies or candy, I got 2 magazine subscriptions...one for Cooking Light, and one for Health (which also has some nice recipes!). All my magazines have great recipes, and it is always the first section I turn to when they arrive in the mail!
