Mini Cookie Dough Cupcakes

I like minis. For example: my skirt could probably be considered a mini today, since it’s a shortie and my Elliot is just a little guy (14 lbs) and I order big beers at sushi restaurants because they are served in mini glasses and I always opt for mini burgers over full-size. These cupcakes just reinforce the mini-love. What do you like best? Regular-sized cupcakes or the perfect 2-biter? I also really like cookie dough…

Apple Coffee Cake with Crumble Topping & Brown Sugar Glaze

I remember this episode of Garfield from when I was a little girl where there was free ice cream in the park, and he kept going back for more by wearing a fake mustache, a hat, sunglasses, or other various disguises. Speaking of disguises. This is a dessert disguised as breakfast. Make it for house guests this lovely Labor Day, and you’ll be glad you did. People might even put on fake mustaches when they…
