Orange Crush Soda Cupcakes


Here's a recipe for colorful and delicious Orange Crush soda cupcakes. These will be a hit with your kids anytime, and they definitely say "spring" to me!

Orange Crush Soda Cupcakes

Orange Crush Soda cupcakes

 
Cupcake ingredients:

1 stick unsalted butter, softened 
2 cups all-purpose flour 
1 Tbsp. baking powder 
1/2 tsp. fine salt 
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 
3 large eggs 
1 cup whole milk 
1/2 cup orange Crush soda

 Orange Crush Cupcakes ingredients

Directions for cupcakes:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and prepare your cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl, and set aside. Beat together butter and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium speed until combined. Add eggs and beat well, scraping the bowl when necessary. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture--beat until combined. Add the milk and the Crush soda, and beat until blended.

Use an ice cream scooper or a big spoon, and portion batter evenly into the cupcake tins.

Bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

When baked, set aside, and let cupcakes cool while you prepare the icing.

Buttercream frosting ingredients:

3 cups confectioner's sugar 
1 cup butter 
1 Tbsp. of Orange Crush soda 
1 Tbsp. whipping cream 
Orange food coloring
 
Directions for icing:

In a mixer, using the whisk attachment, mix together sugar and butter. Mix on low speed until blended, and then increase speed to medium. Beat for three more minutes.

Add the orange Crush soda and whipping cream, and continue to beat on medium speed for a few more minutes. Add in more powdered sugar if necessary. Split icing in two. Add a few drops of orange to one bowl of the icing. 

Use a piping bag and a star tip to pipe icing onto the cupcakes. These cupcakes were decorated with half white and half orange icing, but you can ice them however you choose. Enjoy!

Make-Ahead Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Muffins



Here's a delicious breakfast recipe that is so versatile! These Make-Ahead Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Muffins are delicious when you eat them right from the oven, perfect when you have a crowd to feed (holiday brunches, kids' sleepovers, etc.), and are easy to freeze and warm up for school days or any busy morning.

It's nice to enjoy a hot breakfast, even on those days when you're in a rush, and this recipe makes it easy. For vegetarians, you can substitute veggie sausage or even skip the sausage.

Enjoy!

Make-Ahead Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Muffins



MAKE-AHEAD SAUSAGE, EGG, and CHEESE MUFFINS
Yields 12

Ingredients:
 
4 cups shredded hash browns, thawed
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
8 eggs
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ pound sausage, cooked and crumbled


Make-Ahead Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Muffins


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400˚.

2. In a large bowl combine the hash browns, butter, salt and pepper.

3. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Fill the cups about ¾ of the way full with the hash browns. Press with your fingers to mold the hash browns to the cups all the way to the top. Try to make the sides the same thickness all the way around for even cooking. Make sure there are hash browns on the bottom of the cup.


Make-Ahead Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Muffins


4. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until they are starting to brown. Let cool slightly.

5. Reduce oven to 350˚.

6. Take half of the shredded cheese and sprinkle in the bottom of the cups. Repeat with half of the sausage crumble.

7. Whisk the eggs together and fill the cups until almost full.

8. Top with the second half of cheese and sausage.

9. Bake until eggs are set, 20-25 minutes.

10. To freeze: Let cool for two hours, then place muffins in a Ziploc gallon bag until you're ready to enjoy. Microwave for a few minutes before serving for breakfast.

Make These Three Summer Cocktails With VitaFrute from Veev + a $5 Coupon


Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Veev via Mommerce. As always, all opinions are my own. See full disclosure policy here.


Who's seen the new VitaFrute cocktails from Veev? If you haven't tried them yet, let me fill you in. They are totally different--and awesome! (And, I even have a $5 coupon for you.)

VitaFrute is the first line of organic and all-natural ready-to-drink cocktails. Anyone can make these--no bartending skills required--just shake, pour over ice and enjoy. What I really love is that they are all organic and 125 calories or less per serving. VitaFrute cocktails are made with things like agave nectar, coconut water, and all-natural lemon, cranberry, and pineapple juices. Aren't we all trying to cut artificial flavors and colors out of our diets?

I got to try VitaFrute's Cosmopolitan flavor. I am definitely not an expert bartender--but my husband and I came up with three really fun ways to enjoy this flavor. Fruity drinks are my favorite, and if you love them too, try these!



This one is great if you love fruit, and it's easy to make. Just take a large goblet (or whatever large glass you have), add your favorite fruits and ice, then pour your VitaFrute Cosmopolitan over that. This one's so refreshing for summer!

Make These Three Summer Cocktails With VitaFrute from Veev + a $5 Coupon




This is a Cosmo the way it's usually served. This was put in a shaker with ice then poured in glass--so easy and so good!

Make These Three Summer Cocktails With VitaFrute from Veev + a $5 Coupon




Pineapple lovers, you must try this one! Blend pineapple chunks with your VitaFrute Cosmopolitan for this delicious, smoothie-like drink!

Make These Three Summer Cocktails With VitaFrute from Veev + a $5 Coupon



These drinks were all made with just the Cosmopolitan flavor, but VitaFrute from Veev also comes in Coconut Colada, Margarita, and Lemonade. Just think of all the delicious possibilities.

Grab your $5 off coupon for VitaFrute cocktails, and then get started on your VitaFrute creations.

You can also connect with Veev on their social networks: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. They have a Pinterest contest on now!

Blue Velvet Cupcakes -- Recipe + Baking Kit Giveaway from Dawn Ultra -- Simplify Your Summer!


Disclosure: This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Dawn. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine.



In our house, my husband is the "cook," but it's usually myself and the kids who do the baking. When we got a recipe for blue velvet cupcakes and a baking kit from Dawn, we couldn't wait to dive in.

The recipe wasn't anything too difficult, but it used the whole container of blue food coloring. You can see what the cake batter looked like as I started to mix it and how blue our cupcakes came out!

Blue Velvet Cupcakes -- Recipe + Baking Kit Giveaway from Dawn Ultra -- Simplify Your Summer!


I said these were "Smurf" blue or "Blue's Clues" blue (my kid's favorite show when they were little), or may-be "Frozen." Actually these would be great with the white frosting and some red star sprinkles or July 4th decorations for Independence Day! You could brainstorm some ideas for other colors too.

Blue Velvet Cupcakes -- Recipe + Baking Kit Giveaway from Dawn Ultra -- Simplify Your Summer!


Anyway, I really had a mess once I got them in the oven, and I was a little worried about the blue food coloring. I used my Dawn Ultra though, and everything washed up as good as new. I also like that I literally used a drop to clean up everything (saving money). Dawn Ultra's also great for cleaning up the countertop, sink, and stove too. I had everything clean and put away before my first batch of cupcakes were out of the oven.


Blue Velvet Cupcakes -- Recipe + Baking Kit Giveaway from Dawn Ultra -- Simplify Your Summer!


The cupcakes were delicious by the way. Definitely give them a try, especially if you have kids. They'll think they're a lot of fun with the bright blue color!
