Choco Cherry Pie Cupcakes

Here’s the recipe of the cupcakes I featured for this week’s Wordless Wednesday.  Have a terrific weekend everyone!

For this recipe you will need:

• 1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
• 1 1/3 cups water
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3 eggs
• 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
• 1 (16 ounce) can vanilla frosting

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, water, oil and eggs; mix well. Spoon batter by 1/4 cupfuls into paper-lined muffin cups. Spoon a rounded teaspoon of pie filling onto the center of each cupcake. Set remaining pie filling aside. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted on an angle toward the center comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost cupcakes; top with one cherry from pie filling. Serve additional pie filling with cupcakes or refrigerate or another use.

Keep the Big C at Bay

Did you know that raspberries can help prevent female cancers?  That’s because the red gems are loaded with ellagic acid, a natural chemical that triggers the cell death of precancerous cells in the cervix and breasts.

BFF

My gal pals and I have been close for several decades. Some had been my friends since grade school. We have our monogrammed shirts and even have have monogrammed aprons. I had some personalized note cards made for each of us. It even has a small caricature of every individual printed on them. They are so cute and I am very sure that my friends would love them. After all, we are best friends forever.

For Everyone

Our clubhouse is now for everyone. The management had installed its very first pool lift that would allow the physically challenge to enjoy the pool. Several more will be installed before summer. We all love to swim. There are swimming classes for all levels of swimmers during the summer. With the installation of these lifts, everyone can now enjoy the pool. No one will be watching in the shade enviously watching us frolicking in the water.
