On not always appearing as one might expect

This post is about 1) super duper chocolate cupcakes and 2) making changes within that may or may not make one outwardly super duper.

I like cupcakes.  A lot.  But the problem with cupcakes (which I absolutely love, or did I already mention that?) is that they are filled with dairy, sugar and sweet-tasty-glorious-fat.  In short, cupcakes = tempting waistline busting time bombs.  How depressing.

Enter the amazing cookbook Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World and, as of Monday, enter the amazing Vegan Molten Chocolate Cupcakes (seen above).  They are tasty, but filled with things that make your body happy like zucchini, spinach, flax seed meal and sunflower oil.  HEALTHY!  CUPCAKES!  YUM!

Which brings me into the entire idea of changing what's within to be tastier and more lovely on the outside.  Adam and I are going on the Master Cleanse starting Saturday, ditching our tofu-eating ways for 12 days straight for spring water, lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne. 

We are a little scared and a lot excited.  I think that one of the biggest gifts we can give to the Bunn as parents is being healthy healthy healthy - plus we'll have way more energy to dance to David Bowie, which Ella is quite into right now.  Wish us luck and be sure to check in on our updates as they come.

Hi Katie, Thanks so much for linking to my post--it is much appreciated (and how lovely that it brought me here to find your blog!). Glad you liked the idea of the molten cupcakes (in this pic, they were regular cupcakes with chocolate chips added to the batter--the molten version is also pictured on my blog, though). Good luck with the cleanse--you will feel great afterward!

Thanks Ricki! We LOVED!!! those cupcakes and I actually made them molten-style with a little drizzle of chocolate on top just for fun. Looking forward to the cleanse and then returning regularly to your site for more vegan inspiration :)
