This is another great recipe I found a few years ago in my local paper. These cupcakes are so moist and full of flavor! They have become a special treat in our house. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 egg yolk
1/1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fit a 12 cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. One by one, mix in eggs, the egg yolk, and vanilla. Add the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing until smooth. Spoon out the batter.
3. Bake for about 25 minutes. Cool. Top with your favorite frosting.

I was playing ping pong with my 15 year old last night when the conversation shifted to 9/11. Coverage of the memorials and events honoring this horrific moment in America’s history had provided the background noise in our house throughout the day, so it was only natural that he would ask about it. To be honest I did not really want to talk about it. I had no answers. Continue reading →
Today is the first day of school in our area. The first day outfits are set out, backpacks are full and the buses are rolling and after a summer of being with my kids 24/7 I get my life back. We commemorate every first day with pictures. It is a tradition that my children have stopped challenging- even my son who avoids cameras at all costs holds his first day sign and poses for me. This year however these signs which say nothing more than the year, grade and school they will be attending (we move a lot) and these moments caught on ‘film’ serve only to remind me how quickly time is going by.

I love yard sales and thrift shops and anything discount. I am the shopper who walks into a store, any store, and heads directly to the back and the clearance racks I don’t even see the full price merchandise. And, for the record, if it is not over 60% off it is not on clearance. So with the first day of school now less than a week away the thought of shopping for back to school stuff definitely brings out the miser in me. Continue reading →
Unless you suffer from Tourette’s Syndrome, please think before you speak. Please do not think out loud while I am sitting in the room. Please remember that I am sitting at home, suffering panic attacks, while I wait for the results of all of the tests you have ordered, so PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take a minute to call me, and don’t make me wait for a letter. Please remember that I’m a person not a case.
Thank You,
Your Patient
I spent all of last week waiting- waiting to get appointments, waiting to get into those appointments, and waiting for the results of the tests they did during those appointments. It sucked – I am not good at waiting and I am a bit of a hypochondriac- that combination is a recipe for disaster. I did what I do in times of uncertainty I turned to the internet to fill that time and THAT was not a good idea because all it did was fuel my fears and heighten my anxiety. Continue reading →

Whoopie pies may have originated in New England, but they became a Pennsylvania tradition. Food historians say that Amish women would pack these little cakes (back then known as hucklebucks) in their husbands lunches and when the men discovered them they would shout out “whoopie!” Whatever you call them they are super delicious. My kids and I made these last night using a recipe we found in our newspaper and we wanted to share it with you. Enjoy!
