I scrapped the vegan margarita cupcakes + went for the classic vanilla..

My brother made an amazing lunch.. I had a nibble + loved watching his technique!!

He worked with the basic design of this RECIPE..

BUT he recommends–cream cheese + diced jalapeno + minced onion + S + P + hungarian paprika (picky picky) + coriander .. stuff the pepper with this mix + top with cheese + bake!!

He says to dip it an egg wash + roll it in corn starch + deep fry it–I vote NO!!–but he says YES!!

                      The only way that breakfast could get more southern is if you had a biscuit instead of french toast.

                        Aww,I love the doggie photos. They look like such love bugs!

                        Oh,and cupcakes are second only to layer cake in my dessert favorites. Yum!
