A culinary mastermind I am not. I wish I could be one of those moms that makes every meal, or even just a majority of our meals, from scratch. If only I had the time.
When I saw Michelle at I Heart Publix post this super easy Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe from Passionate Penny Pincher earlier this week, I thought, “Hey, even I can do that!”. Unfortunately, it would have to wait until the weekend. So here it is, my weekend project:
If only I had taken a picture of the finished product. It was delicious, easy to make, and I have plenty left over for lunch tomorrow. Plus, my house now has the heavenly aroma of chicken tortilla soup. Definite bonus.
But what about desert? Michelle at I Heart Publix came through for me again when she posted this recipe for pumpkin cupcakes earlier today. So yummy.

I now leave you with 3 reasons why cupcakes are the perfect food:
- Completely portable with very little mess;
- Perfect icing to cake ratio; and
- Because they are small, you can eat at least 2 and not feel guilty.
