Vanilla cupcakes

Vanilla cupcakes by Aspen Lee-Moulden

I've tried a lot of white cupcake recipes. Many turn out too flat or dry. I came across this one on a blog site and it's really good. It looks like an adaptation of the Magnolia bakery recipe but I'm not sure. Either way, it's good!

Strawberry Pie

Strawberry Pie by Aspen Lee-Moulden

I've made this pie every summer since I was 10. The crust is a little salty which is a nice accompaniment to the sweet strawberries. Everyone loves it. Fresh, ripe strawberries are a must.

Pumpkin Cupcakes with Orange Spiced Cream Cheese Frosting

Pumpkin Cupcakes with Orange Spiced Cream Cheese Frosting by Aspen Lee-Moulden

For a Thanksgiving celebration at my daughter's school I made these pumpkin cupcakes. While they are definitely not low in sugar or fat, they are delicious and easy to make. I made the frosting on my own, experimenting with flavors and finally decided upon cream cheese frosting with orange zest and a bit of pureed pumpkin. YUM!

Gingerbread Cookies

Gingerbread Cookies by Aspen Lee-Moulden

I signed up to make cookies for my daughter's holiday party. I always end up making sugar cookies at the holidays so this year I wanted to try something different. These gingerbread cookies are yummy. If you bake for the shortest amount of time you will have soft chewy cookies, cook a little longer and you will have crispy ones.

Apple Pie

Apple Pie by Aspen Lee-Moulden

A friend gave us a bag of apples from their tree and so I decided to make a pie this afternoon. This is a great simple recipe and it tastes terrific! This does yield a sweet pie so if you don't like it too sweet, I'd cut the sugar in half.

Bought an Ebelskiver pan at Williams-Sonoma thinking my kids would enjoy them for weekend breakfasts. Fast forward 3 hours...I think this is going to be a daily request, which means early mornings for me. The filling possibilities are endless. Yum!

Barb's Less-Sugar, Less-Fat, More-Zucchini Muffins

Barb's Less-Sugar, Less-Fat, More-Zucchini Muffins by Aspen Lee-Moulden

I got this recipe from my local Mother's club. It's a great way to get your kids to eat more vegetables. My kids love them. I've also put cream cheese frosting on them and taken them to my daughter's preschool class for a party. (I have to admit, they are pretty good, even for adults).

Get Up and Go Healthy Muffins

Get Up and Go Healthy Muffins by Aspen Lee-Moulden

I have been playing with muffin recipes trying to create healthy snacks for my family. This is my latest creation. As you can see, I packed as much fiber into these as possible. They are pretty good if you like whole grain goodness - this recipe could also be used as a base for creating any kind of whole grain muffin. These are…

Devil's Food Cupcakes w/ Cream Cheese Frosting

Devil's Food Cupcakes w/ Cream Cheese Frosting by Aspen Lee-Moulden

For a friend's holiday party I volunteered to bring cupcakes. I decided on chocolate cupcakes with two different frosting choices - cream cheese and peppermint butter cream. To make them festive for the holidays, I sprinkled crushed candy cane on top. If you like chocolate cupcakes, these are great and are very moist.

Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp

Rhubarb Strawberry Crisp by Aspen Lee-Moulden

This is a recipe from Emeril Lagasse. It's a great dessert using fresh, local spring fruit. The rhubarb is tart and the strawberries are sweet so it has a nice balance. The Cointreau adds a nice zing!
