Orange Buttercream Cupcakes

Orange Buttercream Cupcakes

I’ve always loved orange muffins and cakes!  So I thought it would be fun to make some Orange Buttercream Cupcakes.  Of course, I found lot of recipes online!  For the frosting, I decided to go with an Orange Buttercream from Real Mom Kitchen.  And for the cake, I just used a simple Orange Supreme Cake Mix.  They turned out delicious!

And today I’m also excited to try out the recipe plugin Ziplist for the first time.  This will make it easier for you to print and save recipes at my site.  Yay!  Thanks to Dorothy at Crazy for Crust.

Homemade Chocolate Frosties

I’m really excited to bring you today’s recipe!  I first saw this on another blog last minute and forgot about it.  But then several months ago, I saw it again on Food.com via Pinterest, and I made it almost immediately!

This is a homemade version of Wendy’s chocolate Frosties!  You are going to love this! It only requires three ingredients, and it tastes so yummy and just like the ones you get at Wendy’s. (Maybe even better!)

And if you like this idea, you should also try these homemade fudgesicles that I posted last year! They are fantastic!

Miss Bonnie’s Sweet Bread Pound Cake

I previously posted this recipe before here, but it’s a favorite in our household, and I got some better pics of it, so I figured it was time for an encore presentation! It is a traditional sour cream pound cake that my mother-in-law makes, but the family calls in sweet bread.

It actually reminds me a lot of Amish Friendship Bread, or it would be a really great coffee cake as well, or share a slice over a glass of sweet tea on the porch this spring! Either way, it’s an amazing good cake!

Breakfast Milkshakes

You don’t have to be around me long to find out that I LOVE ice cream, milk shakes, and generally any kind of frozen treat! And for me, it doesn’t matter if it’s a hundred degrees outside or twenty degrees.  For me, there’s never a bad time for a frozen drink!

Recently I decided to make a milkshake that was a little more healthy, than the usual ice cream and chocolate syrup combo.  The result is a tasty snack that’s actually fit for breakfast! That’s right! Milkshakes for breakfast!
