Vanilla Sprinkle Cupcakes

Its a snowy/rainy day on Long Island, so we decided to brighten up our morning with some delicious sprinkle cupcakes. The best thing about them is there low calorie (only 125 each cupcake) and low in sugar (12 grams in each). They are the perfect bit of indulgence to satisfy any sweet craving. And if you'd like to get festive for Valentine's Day add your favorite heart candies to the tops of your cupcakes for some added decor. Here's everything you will need for these lovely little treats:

Ingredients (cupcake)

1 c all purpose flour

¼ c funfetti cake mix

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ c unsweetened apple sauce

¼ c sugar

2 egg whites

¼ c vanilla 0% greek yogurt or plain

1 tsp vanilla

½ c skim milk

For icing

1 package fat free vanilla instant pudding mix

1 cup skim milk

1 cup fat free cool whip

¼ c sprinkles

Directions (yields 12 cupcakes)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line your muffin tin with muffin liners. In a bowl, mix together the apple sauce, sugar and egg whites. Add in your yogurt, vanilla and half cup of milk. Mix in your flour, cake mix, baking soda and baking powder. Fill your muffin liners half way and bake for 17-18 minutes. Meanwhile prepare your icing, whisk your pudding mix with one cup of milk and add in cool whip. Let cupcakes cool and then pipe your pudding icing out of a pastry bag or piping tool onto the cupcakes. Top with sprinkles. We suggest storing them in the fridge to keep fresh.

Almond Poppy Seed + Lemon Loaf

Happy Spring? Yes, the question mark is needed since we had snow on Long Island today and its April second! I'd say about six inches total, but we were happy to see the sun appear and melt some of it away. We started on some yard work this week and were getting the itch to start doing some planting, but luckily we held out for now. Snow days are always the best days to test out a new recipe and typically we like to try our hands at baking on these chilly days. We just received some of Kodiak Cake's new Almond Poppy Seed Power Cakes Flapjack + Waffle mix. We decided to use this delicious mix for some baking and the results turned out absolutely delicious.

Sicilian Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake

I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving break. We spent the holiday by my parents, but that didn't stop us from making our own turkey on Thursday morning. I love making roasted chicken in the oven, its one of our favorite go-to meals so I figured a turkey had to be pretty much the same thing. I preheated the oven on roast at 350 degrees and gave our bird a good scrub down of freshly squeezed lemon and kosher salt. I mixed together a baste of salt, pepper, minced garlic, smoked paprika and extra virgin olive oil and brushed it all over the turkey. Of course making my first turkey was a little nerve racking so after a few phone calls to my mother and my aunt and a quick google search on "How long do you cook a 14 pound turkey for?" I set my timer and hoped for the best. After a few hours of cooking, our bird started to crust up beautifully and I continued to baste it every couple of minutes. Once the top became browned I covered it with foil and let cook a ...
