Two of My Favorites: Shopping and Baking

By Courtney 30 Comments

Hey Hey! How’s everyone’s Saturday been so far?

Mine has pretty much been split between shopping and baking…two of my favorites!

The shopping was more of a “time to stock up” trip to Sam’s Club, but we ended up with some goodies. It’s amazing how much the money adds up when we shop here. But luckily, a lot of this stuff will last us a long time, so it’s totally worth the initial shock value.

IMG_2369

I was actually kind of hoping that we’d come across some good samples while shopping, but I only came across one lone pinwheel appetizer. Regardless, it was good…and I’ve actually had them before. Winking smile

IMG_2368

I did a lot of grazing this afternoon in between baking, but I did end up stopping to have a delicious snack of cottage cheese, strawberries, and pineapple chunks.

IMG_2344

Cottage cheese + pineapple is one of my favorite combos. Always so tasty. Smile

IMG_2346

**********

Oh right, so I mentioned I did some baking today, right?

The other day as I was going through some of my baking equipment, I came across these egg shaped pans which I knew would be PERFECT for Easter.

IMG_2364

Better yet, I came up with a recipe that would be just as perfect for tomorrow.

IMG_2365

Jay and I have a brunch to attend tomorrow morning, followed by “dinner” at my parents’ house. If you remember, we’re actually having “breakfast for dinner” so I needed something that could work double duty.

Enter: Jelly-Filled Doughnut Cupcakes

IMG_2382

Of course, I had to try a bite. You know, just to make sure they were okay to take tomorrow.

IMG_2387

They’re definitely okay to take. Winking smile

IMG_2390

I made a mix of mini egg-shaped doughnut cupcakes plus regular cupcakes, and I put together a plate to take to each gathering.

IMG_2392

Uhh ohh. Unfortunately, there were a few that just didn’t make the cut. I guess they’re just gonna have to stay with me. What a shame…

IMG_2393

Don’t worry, I’ll have a full recipe up for you during the week! Smile

Oh yes, and as if the doughnut cupcakes weren’t enough…

IMG_2371

I also baked up a new batch of Chocolate PB Cup Cupcakes.

IMG_2374

You may notice that the frosting looks a little different on these bad boys. Well, that’s because it is. I got a little creative today and came up with a Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Frosting.

IMG_2378

Oh yes. I went there. It’s outrageous.

IMG_2375

And don’t worry…that recipe will be comin’ your way this week, too. Winking smile

*********

Now after being stuck face-to-face with sweets all day long, I’m about ready to sit down with a big ‘ol salad that looks a lot like this one that I had last Tuesday.

It’s just me & Cody tonight, since Jay’s out for a “Guy’s Night.” I’m planning on popping in a girly movie, puttin’ on my cozies, and just chillin’ for the rest of the evening.

Sound like a plan? Winking smile

Question for the Evening:

If you could only pick one treat from above, which would it be: doughnut cupakes or peanut butter cup cupcakes?

    Please send me some of those PB cupcakes! They look awesome!!! Reminded me of choco-vanilla swirl soft serve, which is never a bad thing! I'm not much of a jelly donut person, but I love cinnamon munchkins from dunkin'. Can't wait to see the recipes :)

    I am so impressed! They both look gorgeous and I'm sure I wouldn't turn down either one, but I'd have to go for the Jelly Doughnut Cupcakes! I'm usually not all that big on jelly or doughnuts, but since I've made your Chocolate PB cupcakes before, I want to try another one of your recipes! You have some cupcake genius going on here, girl!

    I can't wait for the recipes. Both looks amazing! What kind of tip do you use for frosting your cupcakes? The frosting look perfect and I've been looking for something that could give me that effect. Happy Easter! :)

    I never thought I would call a cupcake gorgeous! Cupcakes win for me any day- unless they're glazed, I'm not really a fan of donuts..which is surprising because jelly on any carb is always a win-win!

    That salad looks perfect! Sams Club left Canada a couple of years ago, and there's been a whole in my life ever since. I loved their cheap produce. We moved to Nova Scotia from Ontario about a year ago and the cost of groceries here is just unreal.

    All of your cupcakes look so amazing! You should start a cupcake business! They look straight out of a professional bakery, even better! I live in PA and would drive up to NY to get some! :)
