July 07, 2013

Every once in a while I get a craving for a really good cupcake. Sprinkles cupcakes opened a shop in La Jolla recently. I asked my husband for cupcakes for Mother's Day but with all the craziness of my surgery, he forgot. So I've decided to make them for myself and the family. I have to say these are Yummy!

The afternoon must be celebrated with a delicious ham salad sandwich recipe. This southern-style homemade sandwich is a great addition to an awesome family meal. This homemade ham spread has delicate but balanced flavors from the different ingredients like onions, spices, mayonnaise, and horseradish spread. It only takes about 15 minutes to make this and create a wonderful and flavorful sandwich that everyone will love.
