Lasagna & Cupcakes Anyone?

What to do with all that zucchini, squash, peppers, and onions in your garden? Make vegetable lasagna. Now posted along with my mom's lasagna recipe.


Okay, why did I start making cupcakes? I was looking through past issues of Martha Stewart and she had a "bake a cake a month" in a January issue. It detailed 12 cakes to make for the upcoming year. The photography alone was amazing! However, making 12 Martha Stewart style cakes...are you crazy? So I picked up her cupcake book. You don't have to perfect fondant or your layering technique or anything. I was inspired to try and make 12 different cupcakes this year. I have tried her mint brownie cupcakes, the oreo cheesecake cupcakes, 2 different chocolate cupcakes, the banana cupcakes, and her triple citrus. What did I discover? You don't always have to make the cupcakes from scratch to have your neighbors enjoy them, just use good frosting. I have made the chocolate, citrus, and banana ones the most so I am posting the recipes for those.
