Funfetti Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting

If how I spent my days were left completely up to me, I'd be on the couch in my underwear eating cupcakes and marathoning a bunch of crap on Netflix all the time.

But alas, I have all sorts of responsibilities, like clients and a family, that require me to put on pants and go outside every now and again.

River Monsters and Extreme Cheapskates sometimes have to wait.

Because I'm not a completely lazy sloth/human hybrid (I swear), I baked my friends a cake for a little night of light drinking we were having recently. Since one of my besties is allergic to dairy, I had to come up with an icing that won't kill her or me -- and this dairy and gluten free variation of seven minute frosting was born. As a true testament to how delicious and fluffy and marshmallowy it is, all I had left at the end of the night was a sad carcass of a cake to drag back home with me because we ate all the icing off of it.

So go on, make yourself a batch and have a couch lounge. But no Hart of Dixie or House of Lies spoilers, mmkay?

Banana Bread with Crumb Topping

I haven't posted in what feels like forever, so please accept this delicious banana bread as a peace offering, okay?

It's basically been what we're surviving off of because it's seriously addicting and the best damn banana bread I've had.

My absence is partly due to the man and I just surviving the (I'm pretty sure official) World's Worst Cold. In all the years I've known this guy, I have never seen him that sick. To be honest, it was somewhat satisfying to see him swollen and snotty. No, I'm not a monster. I'm just usually the one whose immune system throws itself on germs like they're grenades about to take out my family. It was kind of nice to not be in it alone this time -- I had my own personal sniffle buddy!

So, yeah, I totally promise to post more and stuff.

Feel free to stop by next time with some milk because oh, there will be so many cookies.
