I have been a vegetarian for over half my life. When I became pregnant with my son, I dabbled in fish for protein. After a scare with melanoma cancer I decided to go vegan and soy-free a couple times a week. My husband and son eat all kinds of meat which makes cooking even more fun and interesting. This blog is a culmination of recipes from seasonal and vegan foods to vegetarian meals that can include fish and other proteins. Every recipe is clean, fresh and mostly veggie!

Chocolate Cupcakes
This week was crazy to say the least. With the San Diego black out and my son’s first birthday I didn’t have a lot of time to cook. But I thought I would share the recipe for the cupcakes I made for my son’s birthday party. The cakes themselves are vegan but the frosting is not. You can take these recipes and do what you want. I do have to say that I’ve found that cakes without eggs are much more moist.
Cupcakes Ingredients
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 tbs apple cider vinegar
1 tbs vanilla
Mix all ingredient together with a mixer until batter is smooth. Pour into cupcake tins and bake at 350 degrees for 22 minutes.
Frosting ingredients
2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup softened butter
1/4 cup milk
1 tbs vanilla
1 tbs cornstarch
Mix all ingredients together in a mixer until smooth. Add more milk if you would like it thinner and add more cornstarch if you would like the frosting to be thicker.
Yield 12 cupcakes
