Halloween Dessert Recipe: Marshmallow Popcorn Cake

Reblogged from Kids Are From Pluto - A Mother's Guide to a Child's World:

One of my favorite things about Halloween is being able to use this day as an excuse to eat more dessert, good ol’ Halloween sweet treats. =) Sure you’ll be passing out candy to trick-or-treaters or to your child’s friends and classmates, but is that going to stop you from sneaking in a piece or two? Of course not, it’s Halloween!

Bottomless Mimosa Guide: St. Felix

Just because the warm days have left us does not mean that we can't enjoy summer staples. This is an egg salad with a protein boost and spice kick. I thank my mother for this recipe.

A few weeks ago I made an offhand comment in...well, a comment about making these cupcakes as a way to spit in the eye of all my friends with dietary restrictions. This recipe has animal products, refined sugar, alcohol, gluten...pretty much everything you need to cut people out of dessert time except for nut allergies. The comment was born out of break-up aggravation and anger, and I figured channeling that through defiant cupcake baking was more productive than lashing out or boring my friends.
