A few days ago, I did a post about Sprinkles: The First Cupcake Bakery. And now I’m posting the Sprinkles recipe for their delicious strawberry cupcakes!

Sprinkles: The First Cupcake Bakery
I had heard about the wonderful cupcake cafe in Beverly Hills called Sprinkles, but had no idea that it was the world’s first cupcake bakery! The owners were sure on to something when they opened in the spring of 2005…the cupcake craze continues to grow and so do the number of cupcake bakeries. Sprinkles itself has…

Parmesan-Cheddar Squash Casserole
I found a delicious yellow squash recipe about three years ago in an old Southern Living magazine, and made a few small changes to it—it has become one of my favorite side dishes!

Make A Lavender Sachet
Lavender is one of my favorite scents. I have several lavender bushes—one in the front yard and one in the back. I started making lavender sachets because I didn’t want all that wonderfully–scented lavender to go to waste! The sachets are so easy to make, too!

Lemon Almond Bread
I like to make lemon-flavored treats in the summer—lemons just seem to give everything a light, fresh taste! This Lemon Almond Bread is like a pound cake…rich and dense, with almonds in the lemony batter, and more sprinkled on top of the lemon glaze. So, if you like lemons and almonds, you’re in for a…

Raspberry–Cream Cheese Muffins
I have a raspberry bush in my yard. It didn’t do too well this year, but I managed to collect a whopping 3 cups of raspberries from it! I decided to use most of them in these muffins, and I ate the rest. 🙂

Blueberry Topping
I have to confess that I have never made a fruit topping or sauce before…for some reason, I always thought it was a hard thing to make. But I couldn’t have been more wrong! This recipe is SO easy and quick. And it’s made with fresh blueberries.

Zucchini Spice Bread
I’m always looking for zucchini recipes to try in the summer because they’re so plentiful—sometimes I grow some in my garden or I have friends who do, and they’re always happy to share them with me. It’s fun to try out different things you can make with this squash. I tried this zucchini recipe out…
