Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter Pies

by

I read something today about the third Monday in January being the most depressing day of the year.  Not exactly sure why that is – post holiday let down?  Arrival of credit card bills from all the holiday shopping?  It doesn’t really matter WHY, though, does it?  All that matters is these little cupcake pies […]

Gingerbread Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing

by

Ok, well, first of all…Vegetarian Ventures calls these “muffins” but a muffin does not have frosting.  So I am calling them cupcakes. And second of all…these cupcakes are for those of us who don’t have the time or talent to make an entire gingerbread house.  Same great flavor – with cream cheese icing no less – […]

I have posted apple pie cupcake recipes before, but this one from Spend With Pennies is much faster because you can “cheat” by using a box cake mix and canned pie filling.  If you prefer to use fresh apples, a recipe for homemade apple pie filling is below.  But a batch of these yummy cupcakes can […]

Spiced Zucchini Cupcakes […]

Caramel Cheesecake Bites

by

And….these gems from Mom, What’s for Dinner are also gluten free!  I suppose you could substitute crushed graham crackers for the crust but why not try something a little different?  It’s the cream cheese and caramel that are the main event anyway.  Just sayin’.  But if you have hard to please family members who eat gluten […]

So I decided to go back to summer today after going to fall yesterday.  It’s still peach season most places! I do love peaches but then again, I do love most fruit.  Add in some sugar and cream cheese you have a spectacular cupcake.  Thank you Chocolate With Grace for making me drool! Brown Butter Peach Cupcakes […]
