Vegan Eggnog

Kat @ Cupcake Kat 10:57 AM 4 Comments

Last year when I posted my recipe for Cranberry Filled Eggnog Cupcakes, many of you admitted to not liking eggnog. I have to admit that I was slightly taken aback by this. I don't understand how some do not like eggnog. Although, I do have to confess, I also cannot drink eggnog on its own. There's just something about...

A few days ago on a walk I found this cute little birdie who couldn't fly. Being who I am, I couldn't just leave him there so I brought home. I made him a small space where I could hopefully nurse him back to health. He eventually began eating and drinking and looked like he was getting a lot better. But unfortunately...

I love doughnuts more than I care to admit. I first discovered this when I visited Japan. I was introduced to the iconic Mr.Donut shop and fell in love. I don't think I lived before I had one of their doughnuts. They are made fresh, indescribably tasty, and have many unique flavours. I went to Mr.Donut many times...

It’s a combination you've probably seen countless times. Dates and nuts. Aren’t they just perfect together! I call these Spheres of Joy because they are like little sweet balls of energy.
