Baking with Tequila

These tasty Margarita Cupcakes are from the cookbook from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World.

I made half the recipe for the icing but kept the Tequila amount the same, adding the icing sugar until a spreadable consistency.

A hint of lime, a touch of Tequila and some coarse salt (mixed with sugar) accenting the rim are just the icing on the (cup)cake!

These are the best cupcakes ever!

Spirited Pumpkin Pie

This recipe from epicurious sounds very tempting for a Thanksgiving dinner, let me know with a comment if you do try it. Recipe link here.

“Pumpkin pies have long been favored in New England; there is a recipe for a “pompkin” pie in Amelia Simmons’s 1796 American Cookery. New England colonists, in spite of their puritanical reputation, were known to enjoy a tot of rum now and then. And if the liquor was hidden in a pie, even the ladies were able to indulge.”
