Oh Cupcakes why can't you leave me alone?

I have had a bad relationship with cupcakes these last few days. I really have not used a lot of oil these last few days as in cooking but oh my the futter(fake butter) is going to make me fatter. Sounds like a Dr. Seuss book!  Futter will make you Fat  ok I have gotten off track here. Where was I? Oh yeah, bought cupcakes at whole food, didn't learn my lesson last time. Then yesterday was my oldest turned 23 so I had to make her a gluten free cake, and Jo had a reg. cupcake leftover from whole foods, and I thought I'd make a homemade batch of cupcakes for me and Harry. You notice I didn't have cupcakes left over. Hmmm I taste tested way too much. The icing was just as good as the can. I judge some things by the store bought because it's the best. The cupcakes were really more like a very sweet muffin. I think I'll try a new recipe next time for the cupcakes but the icing worked. Really any icing recipe can be converted easily by just adding the fake butter and soy milk in the place of butter and milk. Bethy could take the soy in the icing but I must be use to the taste but by the third one I could taste the soy a little. Yes I said third one, they were not big ones, really. All that work made me hungry. I seem to be cooking three different versions of things a lot. Luckily Nate eats any of it. But generally I cook the gluten free, vegan, and regular. Love the days when one thing works for everyone.

Other than the cupcakes I have been on a bean feast. Monday night had pinto beans, mashed potatoes, turnips, and squash. Oh gracious I want some more. So yesterday I had leftover beans for breakfast and leftover beans for lunch. I think I still have some in fridge so there is my lunch again. Since Bethy was the birthday girl she got to pick dinner and she picked..........subway. Yes the vegetable hoarder was working but I didn't know who he was so now I know him and can request....Pile on the veggies!!! Bethy must have been tired from working and decided she just didn't want to eat out because we were all rooting for a restaurant. Oh well Harry's bday is coming up so we have hope to eat out. I figure on birthdays when we eat out I may have a little something something, you know? A little cheese maybe or dairy. But maybe not, I'll just keep pondering on it for a few weeks.
