Pumpkin Bread with Candied Ginger and Walnuts

I was browsing through the newest issue of Cooks Illustrated and found a great recipe for pumpkin bread. (Baking is just the TINIEST of addictions... <.< >.> <.<)

Anyway, the pumpkin bread is INCREDIBLE! It has cream cheese and walnuts and candied ginger (which I have recently fallen in love with!) and it is SUPER moist!

If you want the recipe for it you could try the website: http://www.cooksillustrated.com/recipes/login.asp?docid=37161

I think you should try it, it is SO good!

The recipe makes two loaves, and has a crumbly topping that is mostly brown sugar, butter, and ginger and cinnamon. Super good and really popular in my house!

Key lime cupcakes

Hi darlings!


I recently made this cupcake recipe from Food Network's 'Cupcake Wars'. They are key lime cupcakes that have a lime curd filling in a lime cake and a lime cream cheese frosting. It is VERY limey. The link for it on the website is here --> http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/key-lime-cupcakes-with-key-lime-curd-recipe/index.html

The thing that I feel the need to tell you about this is that it is REALLY butter heavy, and the frosting is INSANELY sweet. It is possibly too much sugar to really eat more than one. 


They were also a little mealy, and I am not sure if that was something I did or the recipe.  However, they were quite tasty in small doses.
