Look out Cupcake Wars...

Most of the time I just whip up cupcakes from a box, they're easy and delicious but over the weekend I made these champagne cupcakes from scratch. My other favorite from the summer were zucchini cupcakes with caramel frosting, so good! And you felt like you could eat those anytime of the day.

Hiking

In Italy we walked A LOT and did a ton of stairs, I figured I needed to keep it going when I got back. I haven't hit the gym yet but been doing my own thing at home. Between the hill behind our house and jumping rope, my new fav is the Nike Training Club Ap. Its free and has great workouts if you want to do it at home or at the park...that is what we did when we were in CO last weekend. We also did a great hike in Boulder while there, made it almost to the top until we kept seeing signs that said there were recent bear sightings on this particular trail, we thought we'd turn around when the boulders were so big we couldn't see what just might be behind them! And yesterday I did the Climb To Conquer Cancer, which was up to the top of the Manashtash Ridge right outside Ellensburg, definitely a leg burner but fun time!
