My big baby turned 7 this past week. I can't believe how time flies right. But we just had a little family dinner and cupcake party. It was a very hot 90 degree weather day so we did all indoor things till the sun went down. Which is why you see the kids riding there bikes in the dark. But its funny cause I had a "You know you are a homeschooler when..." moment on her birthday cause she got a visa gift card from grandma and excitedly proclaimed she wanted to go to Barnes and Nobles! LOL! We are such geeks right! But she found a cute little art set and got a few chapter books for fun reading and got her brother and sister a book as well. My little man of course found a Star Wars easy reader and my baby girl got The Very Hungry Caterpillar. So when we got back to the house I was wiped out cause I am about 32 weeks pregnant now and just going from one chair to the next makes me tired. lol! But my birthday girl wanted baked pasta with red sauce and cheese with salad. This was her request. And by some miracle I manage to get up enough strengh to make her the best Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese frosting ever.
Here is the Cupcake and Frosting recipe:
Cupcakes:
1 1/2 cup flour( soft white wheat)
1 cup sucunant( cane sugar)
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup coconut oil
1 TSP vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix all dry ingredients first. Then add the rest of the ingredients. Bake on 350 degrees for about 25- 30 min.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 8oz pk cream cheese(soften)
1/2 cup butter(soften)
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Another winner!
