Root Beer Float Cupcakes

It was my husband’s birthday last week.    He and I went up to the cabin last weekend, he loves to go up there and that is what he wanted to do for his birthday!  It was so beautiful up there and there was NO INVERSION…so I felt like I could breathe again!  It was wonderful to look out the windows and see for miles and miles!  The sun was out and it was gorgeous!

I made these cupcakes for him for our Sunday dinner with the family and I think that everyone liked them, so that means they get to stay on our recipe lists. :)

Swedish Tea Cakes

Yesterday I talked about all the different Christmas candies that I used to make with my mom when she was still here.  Today, I have a cookie recipe that I am sure a lot of you have made, but it is one that we used to make all the time just for Christmas!  These fun little morsels are so pretty on a plate and I am sure that is why my mom made them all of the time; they just look festive!

Mini Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts

This time of year just screams out pumpkin to me!  

I love pumpkin pie, but it is a special treat and so I only eat it a couple of times a year!  But I love Pumpkin Pie Cake, pumpkin roll, Chocolate chip pumpkin cookies (which I had to make a couple of days ago!)  and these Mini Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts.

Salted Caramel Apple Cupcakes

My husband and I went to our cabin last weekend and we went for a ride on Saturday morning to a hunting property not too far away.  I could not believe how beautiful of a fall day it was!   The sun was shining and the air was clear with a little bit of a crisp bite to it.  I don’t know if there is a season more beautiful than fall!

Today I have a cupcake that compliments this beautiful fall season!  It has the wonder flavor of fresh apples, the sweetness of caramel and the  greatness of the salt added to top it all off!

Sugar-Crusted Lemon Raspberry Muffins

My raspberries are in full swing right now, but my dad has even more that I do and we are trying to keep up with them!  I usually just pick them and wash them, then put them on a lined cookie sheet to flash freeze them.  That way I can use them whenever I am ready.  I had in my mind that I wanted to make some muffins and I love the lemon blueberry recipe that I have, so decided to try another version with raspberries.  They did not disappoint!

These are perfect for the freezer, you can just take out the amount you need, warm them up a bit and you are good to go!
