You guys. Remember last week when I said I was going to tackle a batch of these chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes for Paul's birthday? Well tackle them I did, and oh man, they were good. I followed Annie's advice and made them over a couple of days, which made the many steps a little less overwhelming. I was worried the cookie dough filling and then cookie dough frosting would be too much, but it was just right. If you have a special occasion coming up and want to pull off some impressive cupcakes, I suggest you make these. And I also suggest you ensure you've got plenty of people to feed them to, because these aren't the kind of thing you want to end up home alone with.
Anyways, down to business.
What’s good around the web is a weekly series where I share some of what I’ve been reading around the web. Each week I’ll be posting links to five nutrition related articles, good recipes, and just general good reads. I hope you enjoy it!
If you’ve got at article or recipe you’d like to see featured, please email me.
What’s good around the web?
1. Scarlett Johansson has something to say about body image and being healthy.
2. David Lebovitz has something to say about how he eats, and things he does.
3. This is an old but good article which argues against hiding vegetables in food for kids.
4. I like what these ladies have to say about snacking.
5. Spring salad with strawberry basil dressing. Yum.

Those cupcakes sound and look amazing, quite the accomplishment! I very nearly emailed you about the WSJ article last week and then didn't-- I'm so glad you saw it, too! I couldn't agree more. And I've really got to try some roasted chickpeas, soon. They look so easy (and store for two weeks), I've got no excuse!

The cupcakes were so good! Consider them for a birthday party or something down the road. You know, when you're not super busy 😉
It's a great article, isn't it! Kids need to learn about real food, and hiding spinach in their kraft dinner isn't going to to it, and sounds totally gross.

Cake, cookies and icing all in one dessert. I know exactly who will be making these after seeing this photo. And I am sure, she would very much like to be left alone with them.

It's like the turducken of desserts. But way better!

They were indeed worth the effort, and something I'll be making again for a special occasion!
