Apple Pie!
Standard Betty Crocker recipe with Green Apples, my only additional tip is splashing some lemon juice on the cut apples to keep them from browning while you finishing cutting and prepping the rest of the pie.
Champagne & Vegan Mini Cupcakes!
Using Champagne in your cupcakes (+ frosting) adds a special touch to any event, esp Anna’s 1st SOLO Art Show! I was also asked to make Vegan Cupcakes. I’m a farm girl, I had never made anything vegan in my life, but this chocolate recipe was pretty simple (after spending 5 min finding vegan friendly margarine). I got the Vegan thumbs up from Raighne & Meghan the owners of 2D Cloud Studio. ALSO! A big thanks to Christina for helping me out with some of the frosting + decorating of the mini cupcakes.

Sorry for the pink haze, my camera is starting to show its age.
St. Patrick’s Day 2010
