I’m back, and I have another recipe! I make this a lot. mainly because risotto is SO EASY to make, its almost brainless. And its filling, so it makes a really great main dish as well as side dish. It takes some time to cook, and needs to be watched because it can scorch and […]

Anti-Valentine’s Day Cupcakes of Darkness.
Like (I think) I’ve said before, I love Valentine’s Day. But I am aware that there are many people who do not. For you I did this: Anti-Valentine’s Day Cupcakes of Darkness. They also remind me of Ozzy Osbourne cupcakes for some reason. I’ll make more of them on his birthday with little bat toppers. […]
I bought a new hand mixer a few days ago because my old one went to the big appliance store in the sky, and I was dying to use it. But I’ve been sorta busy and distracted so I didn’t get to until tonight. It was extremely windy and snowing today, and tomorrow is supposed […]
(Isn’t it funny that none of my “White Cupcakes” are actually white?) No recipes today. This is just a friendly reminder that cupcakes = love. ♥ PSST… SHARE THIS:

“Its a nice day, for a, white cupcake.” -Billy Idol
So those are not the words to the Billy Idol song, we all know that, and obviously, these are not white. But the recipe itself is called White Cupcakes. And they really are… so white infact, that they took the pink food coloring so well it amazed me. When I saw the hot pink batter, […]
These cupcakes look like spring personified. Its so damn cold here I’m seriously wishing for some spring. Its like, 17 degrees right now here in NY! It absolutely sucks. So I’m longing for April showers and May flowers and warmer weather. I wanna wear rain boots instead of snow boots. I was going to make […]

Double dark chocolate peanut butter mess-ups, that came out awesome anyway.
I was supposed to do real life things today, you know; grown-up things, such as updating my website, doing some graphic design work, etc. I also should have finished some D.I.Y. project type things I started days/weeks ago. Instead… I made cupcakes. :/ Well… I did do some cleaning too, and caught up on some […]

Chocolate cheesecake muffin cupcakes with coffee (mocha) filling.
I adapted this recipe from one Tattooed Mama posted. I saw them and just needed to make them, immediately. I am a HUGE cheesecake fan, and these are practically cheesecake mixed with chocolate cupcakes, how could ya go wrong? So I put some Social Distortion on the iPod and started baking. I changed the recipe, […]
Don’t you just love risotto? I do. Don’t you just love wine? I do. This is the best of both worlds, and my favorite risotto recipe. I find that its a wonderful winter night meal. White risotto to me is lighter, and more summery, even though its got more cheese usually. It just seems more […]

Elvis Comeback Special cupcakes… have left the building.
*Cue theme to 2001: A Space Odyssey* I love Elvis. My mother has always been a huge Elvis fan and I heard it all throughout my childhood. I also used to dance (not stripping, actual dancing, as in tap/ballet/jazz as a child… you perverts), and I danced on more than one occasion to Elvis’ ditties. […]
