Banana Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting

I'm not a fan of bananas; not at all. I remove them from my smoothies, I leave them off of my oatmeal, and I would never eat one by itself. But, there's something about banana bread that gets me. Naturally, these banana cupcakes were a close second. And the brown sugar, cream cheese frosting: heaven! I borrowed the recipe for the cupcakes from this book, and the frosting recipe here. These little treats are light and perfect for an afternoon snack... and one after dinner... and one (or two) for breakfast...

Margarita Cupcakes

Cinco de Mayo! My roommates and I opted to have a quiet evening with tacos, chips and salsa, friends, and these amazing margarita cupcakes. I've wanted to try these out for quite a while now and what better time than the day of Mexican freedom. Plus, the evening was wonderful with tequila lingering in the air. I followed this easy recipe and would definitely recommend these cupcakes any time this season. The light, citrus flavor is perfect for the summer sun, which is probably where I am going to finish this bottle of Jose.
