C – I can’t believe we are two years old.
This year flew by. I feel like we were lot more mindful and more organized with everything we did this last year, than after our first year. Of course, there were a lot of human parts, too.
We had to celebrate with cupcakes again. This year, chocolate cupcakes. One of my favorites. I can’t remember where I got this recipe.
I just found it on a post-it note on my kitchen cabinet. It’s become my easy, go-to cupcake.
It’s a great cupcake. Simple and perfect in my book. I love that it’s super moist and not too sweet. The frosting actually tastes like chocolate, instead of just sugary brown stuff.
It’s so good. It’s one of those chocolate cupcakes where you can’t just eat one. I love it.
I wish I could make one or two of these cupcakes for all of the Be Mindful. Be Human. fans out there.
