I see I'm still slacking in the posting department. What can I say? I've had a couple of months of everyday living and cold weather (it's only now just beginning to warm up) and that has left me feeling a little uninspired. It was only last week that I decided I wanted to get back into baking (which I love to do) and actually made it happen. Spring is now upon us & hopefully the end of the freezing temperatures that I so hate. So, with that all said a few days ago I decided to make some chocolate cupcakes. I also made them a week prior & the cupcakes were perfectly tasty, but I miscalculated my marshmallow frosting and ended up with a bit of a runny mess. So, this time, I decided my cupcakes were delicious enough, and just changed what type of frosting I was going to top them off with. Enter salted caramel frosting. Heyooooo. Who doesn't love that? They turned out great and I've enjoyed eating three of them over the past few days (yep 3 of them whoops). Below are separate instructions for each area incase you want to search online and do your own frosting choice, or make them vanilla cupcakes instead of chocolate. It's all changeable and isn't that great? I actually halved the cupcake recipe because I didn't want to make 16 of them, as there was only me & Caleb in the house, so feel free to adapt away.

Recipe, Salted Caramel Chocolate Cupcakes

NYC, NY
Well, it's been a while! I can only apologize and mostly blame the fact that it's been winter & I don't tend to venture out much during these months. I DID go on a random rock cruise that my husband was playing called Shiprocked & I will make sure to do a post about that on here next - but other than that, I really haven't been up to much. Until my birthday month hit...

London, UK
I hadn't been to the UK since last Christmas and had almost given up hope of making it back to my homeland this year, when I decided that I must go and see my family. My mum's 70th birthday was approaching (she had me very late in life) and I decided we should just go. Without much planning. But it was probably the best idea I'd had in a while. God I'd missed London. And I'd missed the food even more...
