I wish I had a fun anecdote or something clever to say about these cupcakes. But I don’t. But really? Do these cupcakes need an amusing quip? I mean, they are CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BANANA cupcakes.

While I do appreciate celebrating my rich Irish heritage (I’m from Boston. Does that count?), the actual motivation for making these cupcakes was the fact [...]

It’s pumpkin season! Pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin lattes (if you like that sorta thing)! Turns out these cupcakes aren’t pumpkin flavored, just pumpkin looking. I made them for Kathryn Hill’s son’s birthday. It was awesome. Pumpkin painting, giant apples, and the Not So Chilly Hilly Chili. I can’t say I’ve been to a 2-year [...]
