CNYEats A Taste of Utica Black-Bottom Cupcakes

Cupcakes! Mmmmm!  These are the perfect party cupcakes.  You know how brownies always get eaten up quickly at picnics and parties?  Well these cupcakes are going to disappear just as fast as a moist, chewy, chocolaty brownie. Were we speaking of parties? Oh yeah…. Ted and I went to a beautiful wedding this weekend. The reception was held at the Stanley where there was delicious food catered by Danielle’s, fun music, lots of dancing, and of course the most engaging conversations with friends. Unfortunately Shane and Zoey couldn’t go but they enjoyed the photo shoot. Eat CUPCAKES…. Perfect for parties [...]

Scared, Hot and Running plus Coconut Milk Cocoa Muffins

Being flexible with ones training schedule is one thing but when you get up knowing you could do the workout THEN skip it anyway, there is a sense of guilt that stays with you all day.  What to do?   Train after work.  This week is a pretty easy week since I’m running a half marathon on Sunday in Watkins Glen and taking a mini taper.  I’m not doing weights this week, just runs.  So on Tuesday was a warm up, tempo run for about 5 miles then a cool down. I got up then went back to bed THEN proceeded [...]

Flourless Raisin Muffins, Vegan Friendly

That Zoey!  She locked Shane and I out of the house then turned on the Roomba vacuum.  Ted’s say’s she’s trying to replace me: locking me out and doing the cleaning.  Hmm! How she locked us out. Shane and I were having quality time in the yard, tossing the Frisbee, getting brushed when Zoey and Ted peaked at us through the door. Zoey wanted to get in on the action but Ted shut the door.  In getting a little upset about being shut IN, she must have jumped up and turned the lock.  Luckily Ted was home. Lesson learned: Don’t [...]

Chocolate with Francois: Chocolate Pudding Cake

This month Peggy of Pantry Revisited chose the recipe from Chocolate with Francois. A good FANTASTIC pick. I knew Peggy wouldn’t opt for one of Francois 2 week sweat inducing recipes. Believe me! They’re in that book! He’s amazing! And because I knew it was going to be one of the more basic recipes, I was really looking forward to this interesting cake. It WAS easy and I STILL messed it up. But… my screw up was a success! Visit Peggy’s site for the original recipe. If however, you want the “screw” up version…read on. Makes 1 9” layer cake [...]
