The 3rd Spring

Ps: at the end of this post I will bombard you with Lily pictures

                    There's a pretty sweet way of saying someone's getting older in Spanish, Primavera, which means Spring. So this year Lily is having her tercera primavera (3rd Spring). My baby is getting wiser and I couldn't be happier. My mother always said the fireworks after her birthday we just for her. Obviously we know it's the fourth of July but we're so in love with her that we don't care.
                   So being that I've been in such a mood to make and bake everything in site.... here are some cupcakes I made for my precious (yes, you may say this is a smeagol voice).

Bomb Ass Brownies

    So since last summer I've been on a coconut kick. Coconut water, coconut m&m's, and now coconut oil. Apparently I'm not the only loving on some coconut as of lately. I've been reading up on on coconut oil as of lately and all it's uses. (Have I said coconut enough?) Not only does it taste good but it's good nutritionally but "esthetically" as well.

 

Strawberry and Banana Fields

             Alright so as my first official post I have made MUFFINS! If you know me, you know I love baking. Anything other kitchen activity and I might burst into flames. Also I love finding recipes that I can actually work with. You know not all of us have all those eccentric ingredients.
  Anyway lets get started with this.

Strawberry Banana Muffins
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for pan
• ⅔ cup sugar
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• ¾ cup chopped strawberries
