More Vegan Cupcakes! Today I got to spend some quality kitchen time with my mom & sister. This is wonderful because my sister lives a billion miles away from us, and she's here for a visit. We made two kinds of cupcakes.
Mexican hot chocolate cupcakes with Kahlua chocolate buttercream frosting. Awesomely decorated by sister.
And super lemony cupcakes with pink lemonade frosting. Decorated for Spring with natural jellybeans, by me.
Sister decorating her cute cupcakes.
Wearing our matching snowman aprons. I love Christmas stuff all year!
Mixing up the medicine. Cake IS medicine.
Vern is here! Lickin' up the scraps.
For dinner we made a yummy rice noodle soup with veggie broth, "beef" strips, tofu, veggies, and mushrooms sauteed in sake. Very warm and satisfying.
MMmm soup.
The animals were hanging out in the kitchen with us, looking cute, waiting for the crumbs to fall. Meet Fred, my mom's adorable cat.
I wish I could take credit for this one, but this amazing plate of deliciousness was served up by the talented boyfriend on Sunday morning. Just something that he "threw together" aka the MOST heavenly breakfast ever. <3!
vern is so sweet, how is he doing?...and fred is just too adorable for words...

ReplyDeleteHow is Vern? I have been thinking of him. I think he will pull through for awhile.
ReplyDeleteThe cupcakes are so cute. I love the jellybeans on top. Kalhua ones? How decadent! I did not know it could be made vegan. Are these from Vegan Cupcakes?
Aimee, Yep, both of these were based on recipes from VCTOTW and are vegan. I'm so obsessed with that book! And Vern is doing great! The only problem is keeping his activity levels down for a while so his heart can recover. He just wants to get up and go. Thanks for thinking of him :)
ReplyDeletesweet fred and vern - glad to hear vern's doing well!
