How to make sandwich balls (sandwich cupcakes)
Have you tried sandwich balls yet? I really don't know who came up with this interesting idea. I've seen sandwich balls on many Japanese food blogs, and have always wanted to try. It was much easier then I thought it would, and most importantly.... my son loved it (^,^) How to:
Going to the other side of the spectrum, from a vegetable garden to loaded with all things bad for you, but tastes so good cupcakes.

Jayme Michelle from the previously-mentioned Delectable Deliciousness blog offers up a really great tutorial and recipe for making your own (which, she says, makes A LOT of macarons).

Indianapolis, along with many other states in the Midwest, is coping with a huge ice storm that is supposed to cover us in over an inch of ice.

Breakfast is my favorite meal. I like to drink iced coffee and watch the cream climb its way down the chunky ice cubes in a dazy before the caffeine hits. I like to order bacon with whatever I’m eating. I like eating potatoes with ketchup.
