Double Chocolate Cupcake

One of my New year's resolutions for 2010 was to learn how to bake something",  Yep.. I happen to be a Chocoholic that doesn't bake, So I'm currently on a quest to find recipes and easy to bake recipes for beginner's such as myself.

Here's one that I found  in the November issue 2009 of All you Magazine, I've tried  it over the Christmas holiday and even though I need a little more practice to perfect it... It was fun, quick and easy as suggested. Please click here for the recipe  Double-Chocolate Cupcakes.

Whats on your Christmas list?

Okay because I'm a chocoholic the Number one Christmas gift for me is a No brainer!  

However I had to learn how to use my brain when it comes to  Holiday gift giving for my very large and complicated family members.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
I love receiving and giving gifts and  I learned  that I can never go wrong with a food gift... be it chocolates, cocoa,  candy, cookies, cheese and crackers, popcorn, pretzels, sausage, etc.     

Food gifts takes the tedious guess work out of Holiday gift giving.                      
                                                           
 Would Dad want a new robe?  socks?  slippers? or a shaver this year?  Oh, wait..didn't Mom buy him a shaver last year? 

Mom said she doesn't know what she wants for Christmas  " just buy me something nice".

Aunt Vicky said  that she'll leave it up to me to decide what to buy her because " You know what I like"... aunt Vicky I really don't.

 My  little niece Linda already has a  My Scene,  Barbie, and  Hello kitty collection.  Don't get Nephew Randy a MP3 player he got that for his birthday.


Erin doesn't like Elmo, sing-a long toys, games or trucks that go beep beep" because he thinks that he is ten... but he's only three.                             


Cousin brandy said to surprise her..but I know her well enough to know that I better Not!              

Need I say more?.... Food Gifts  have  made my Holiday gift giving a lot more fun! a lot easier and less stressful!  and a big plus is that these gifts are very economical and inexpensive and there's a multitude of price ranges to fit any and every budget.
