Oh my!!! My favorite desserts are cupcakes. Just eating one and I gain 5 lbs. Don't know why that happens when one gets older? Used to be so skinny as a young woman, that my husband once called me "boney maroney". Hah..would love to have those days back!
Just remembered the one cupcake I do like but haven't made in years is a chocolate cupcake that has a cream cheese filling in the middle & that's why I like it because the cream cheese filling makes it not all cake & is the best part.
A very merry un-birthday to all. I had promised myself to make a pie this year and still haven't. It's just my husband and me and the one pie I love gives me a tummy ache but I make it anyway and eat it anyway because it's just once a year--although it may take 2 weeks for me to finish it since my husband usually decides the holidays are the perfect time for a diet. Go figure.
Wishing you all holidays without diets--except if you have health issues then I wish you to find something new and yummy you can eat.
Minced/apple. I love the minced taste but pure minced is too strong so I mix in apples. I like the boxed mix then add raisins and dried prunes, some nuts and cranberries to offset the sweetness.

Got around to the cranberry cake at last so am putting off the pie for another week. Something to look forward to!
