Every bite of food should be a sweet bite
Saturday was a lazy day around these parts. In the morning we set out to the art festival and after sucking up a bit of Florida sunshine we returned home to do what I love doing best.
Partaking in a lazy Saturday.
Yep, I sat on the couch and relished on the fact that I did not have to did not want to do anything at all.
That apple pie I promised Tom? Nah, it could wait.
That cornmeal cake bookmarked? Nah, it could wait.
This month’s Avid Bakers Challenge is a quick one. I love quick recipes. The ones that utilize one bowl come together pretty quickly and end up being a delicious treat.
In this recipe, these cupcakes are made in the blender.
Yep, you read it right - in.the.blender. The one you use to make smoothies in. But, in this case, we will use it to make cupcake batter.
And these cupcakes fit all of the above and more. They also fit my desire to send a happy birthday to three of my favorite people today with virtual cupcakes!
Happy Birthday NYBoy 1!
Happy Birthday (belated) NYBoy 2!
Happy Birthday son to be brother-in-Law!
I have had the croissants on my kitchen bucket list for a bit now. It’s one of those recipes that scared me; mostly because it seems like it is so hard to do, but, when you do get to them, you realize that is not that they are hard, it’s that they are TIME CONSUMING. Two totally different things.
Two days for these to be done.
TWO.DAYS!
And believe me; I looked all over the Internet for a short cut.
No dice. Nada, Zip. Croissant making HAS NO short cut. They take time, period.
A lot of time. And a lot of waiting.
Oh.my.god – THE.WAITING!
