Thank goodness for the orange kitchen aid.
When I’m stressed out, I bake. It makes me feel better. So far in the past two weeks:
- pumpkin swirl cupcakes with cinnamon buttercream frosting, i.e. A Dream is a Wish Your Heat Cakes(with Amanda in Staesboro. Entered in the ilovecuppycakes October challenge. Go to the site to vote!)
- macaroni and cheese (noodles cooked in milk. very rich, but too cheesy…made it dry)
- speedy no-knead bread (for me and bonnie. there’s no need to buy bread at publix.)
- wheat bread (dough hook, speed two)
- caramel apple cream cheese cookie bars (with aimi, excellent idea)
- pumpkin bread (mom’s recipe with chocolate chips, also with aimi’s help)
- brie-apple-mashed potatoes (twice.)
- potato soup (with leftover mashed potato base and leftover broccoli in the stock)
- chocolate-chip-caramel-pretzel cookies
Take that, life. I have plenty more recipes.
And, please, feel free to partake in the spoils. Otherwise I’ll gain a million pounds and be more stressed.
And I’m looking for recipe ideas! Post in the comments.

“Take that, life.”!!!!
Just reading that made my day.

I’m with Aimi. That comment cracked me up.
I’m totally living the same way. Hence the Mint Julep cupcakes: Vanilla bourbon mint cake filled with white chocolate bourbon ganache and topped with marshmallow mint buttercream.
The level of complication to my cupcakes is usually directly related to the amount of denial I’m in regarding life.

Brie-apple-mashed potatoes? Whoever invented that should have his or her own national holiday.

Once again, Pam, you have blown my mind.

Oops. I mean Kira has blown my mind. I was so overwhelmed by your list of recipes that I missed the potatoes. I bow down to you and your culinary prowess.

Yes, please. I want to try the mashed potatoes soon.
