Snickerdoodle Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

These cute little guys are the crowd favorite. This super moist (vegan) vanilla cake with a dash of cinnamon goes beautifully with a lightly tart cream cheese frosting. 

No one has ever said "no" to a snickerdoodle cupcake. No one. 

Penne alla Vodka with Italian Sausage

Okay okay, so what if this isn't an authentic Italian dish?

I admit I don't know squat about real Italian food, but I do know that my bowl was licked clean after inhaling two bowlfuls of this yummy pasta.

Soft Bread Bowls

Heavenly soft texture. Lightly crisp crust. Subtle sweetness. Perfect soup companion.

Need I say more?

Creamy Mushroom Penne

Dinner for one? Or two? Or six? This is a tasty recipe that's easy and cheap to make for just yourself or for dinner guests.

2012, Here I Go

Those are my cupcakes. My mini vegan cupcakes on display at a friend's beautiful wedding. 

My biggest wish for this new year is to have my cupcakes on display everywhere.

Creamy Tomato-Basil Soup with Grilled Cheese

This soup is not only delicious and comforting, but it's also magical. This soup can bring immediate happiness. I like that in a soup.

Orange Rolls with Sugar Glaze

Not too sweet, not too orange-y, not too decadent, just right.
