A Vegetarian Food Blog
I’m not sure how it’s already May, but somehow it is. And even though summer is still a month away, lately it’s been feeling like it’s here already–the humidity, the afternoon downpours, the heat. Even the spring produce is quickly being replaced by summer fruits and veggies at the farmers market. Clearly this could mean [...]
I think it’s time to invest in some cupcake decorating classes. Making this Strawberry Mimosa Cupcakes recipe was a labor of love, with an emphasis on labor.

So, having the eye of the tiger and determination and things [...]

And then I did a search for the term and, sure enough, lots of people make muffin top cookies. But! I’m the only one that’s made Apple Cinnamon & Quinoa Muffin Top [...]
