Snickerdoodle Cupcakes

By 23 Comments

Not to make my snicker doodle cupcakes feel bad about their place in the culinary world or any such thing, but today I had really, really wanted to post my insanely delicious recipe for lobster bisque.  If only I could find the recipe.  Seriously, if you all saw how crazy I ran this blog you’d wonder how anything gets done.  A recipe stashed here, one written down over there (on the back of my child’s homework notebook no less)… my organization skills need some genuine guidance if any ever did.
