Redbull cupcakes

I had made soda cupcakes a while ago. And of course, I was craving some more. As I was strolling through Target yawning, I needed a pick me up.  I went up and down the aisles yawning and was just throwing things into my cart.  I tossed in some workout pants for the hubs, funfetti cake mix for my cupcakes, some green tea and then a SF redbull.  I figured I'd chug it when I got home and keep going for the day. So wrong.

I came home all ready to make my cupcakes and realized I only had sierra mist for soda, and that's not all that tasty for cupcakes (in my opinion) so I opted to sacrifice my redbull.

So I gathered up the few things I needed and there I went putting it together.

I love how it explodes with the soda or in this case, the red bull

Smells amazing! 

And the finished product:

How are they? Delicious!


PS - the funfetti is 5WW points for a cupcake, so you might want to try something a little less if you want to have more than one! :)  

What flavors would you like to mix and try?

Soda Cupcakes

I love when I read a good recipe from a twitter friend's blog and then have the time and energy to actually make it.

She has some delicious sounding recipes so I thought I'd check out two of them last night while I had a friend equally interested in experimenting around a bit.

We made the Diet Soda Cupcakes and while they were baking, the first recipe we tried was the Green Smoothie.

We just made one smoothie and split it among the four of us. I choose to use spinach with oranges (2) and it was super tasty.  We didn't use any sugar, which I'm sure had we - it would have been pretty good as well. My friend and her husband - well not sure they're complete fans but they drank it like champs!

As for the cupcakes, those were extra fun.  We ran to the store to pick up Betty Crocker French Vanilla cupcake mix, and I had Black Cherry Diet Rite already on hand.  So we mixed up those two (and the batter was, as expected, yummy!) and baked those.

They smelled delicious and tasted equally delicious. They were 4 WWPP based on the cake mix I choose for a large cupcake, and I was OK with that as a treat.
