To celebrate the end of my godforsaken juice cleanse, I'm sharing THE GREATEST CUPCAKE RECIPE IN THE HISTORY OF CUPCAKES. I'm not just saying that just because I've eaten nothing but pureed plants for the past three days, although I will admit I was so hungry when I woke up this morning anything sounded delicious (I already wrote about dog food.) I'm saying that because these are truly the yummiest cupcakes I've ever baked, which Tony and the kids of School of Rock will back me up on... I made them last Friday when we had the kids over for a pizza party and screening of Austin Powers (they'd never seen it! We introduced them to both Austin and Elizabeth Hurley. I don't think their worlds will ever be the same.) The kids all said the frosting tastes like ice cream and Tony (who doesn't even like chocolate that much) ate three of them. Throwing the last two away mid-cleanse broke my heart.View Article

This will be my own personal “Heart of Darkness,” my "Apocalypse Now." I’m about to descend into madness. Only my obsession won’t be Kurtz, it will be fitting into my wedding dress. “Bridezilla” is sort of like mad cow disease for humans, and I’ve caught it. My wedding is a little over 3 months away. It’s time to go big, go hard or go home (*insert lots of other sports references here.) I just want to weigh what my driver’s license says I weigh. And for my face to glow in a way that is difficult to achieve with the amount of salt and fried things I consume.View Article
