Pumpkin Cupcakes

pumpkin-cupcakesHappy Halloween! These cupcakes were fairly popular at the party on Saturday. Katy and I made them.. and I decorated them as she made a wondrous meal for me. They aren’t as sweet as most cupcakes, and the icing is sharply spiced for a taste reminiscent of pumpkin pie with whipped cream.

Lemon Poppyseed Loaf

lemon-poppyseed-loafIt’s been a while since I last made this loaf, so I decided to whip up a batch for my birthday this year. It doesn’t have the glaze on yet, but hopefully I’ll have a little time this evening before I run out to karate class. There’s only a hint of lemon to it without the glaze, but it’s very nice either way. The glaze adds a sharp tang to every bite, making it more like a cake than bread.

alfredoAn alfredo sauce is almost exactly like macaroni and cheese, but somehow sounds so much classier. Amazing what a little garlic will do. Fried vegetables add a more interesting flavour, making every bite a little bit different from the last.
