Weekly Mix: The Lighter Side

Friday, January 11, 2013

That beauty is a Salted Caramel Cupcake from Cupcake Crew, who was in my neighborhood earlier this week. Obviously, I haven't made a strong dieting resolution for 2013. As Julia Child said, "Everything in moderation, including moderation." I firmly believe that we all need a little dessert in our lives. Granted, I bake a lot more than most, but I try to keep things in check by having my sample and moving the remainder along to willing taste testers. If you're among those who are trying to do a little less indulging in the new year, here are three recipes to bring dessert back into your life.

Happy first Friday of 2013! That photo above is a good representation of how NYC is looking these days. Gray and wintery. I don't really mind it. I'll take it any day over mid-summer misery. Do you have a list of resolutions for the new year? I don't really get into that, but I am trying to work on a reasonable list of goals for this year. I am notorious for making completely unrealistic to-do lists, so I'm trying to rein it in and be practical. This time next year, we'll see how I did. One of my 2013 projects is the Bake or Break newsletter. The first edition is in the works and should be ready to go soon. If you haven't signed up yet, you can do so by clicking here. Recently, I shared the 20 most popular BoB posts of 2012. As I was reviewing those recipes, I got sidetracked, as I often do. I began looking at the most searched recipes that brought people to Bake or Break.
