Lindsay P Designs

Twinkie Cupcakes

Like I have said before, I am not some extravagant chef...though sometimes I like to believe I am.

I typically think of something I want to make and turn to my best friend to ask him for a recipe.

His name is Google.

My searches usually include "the best (fill in the blank)" or "the easiest (fill in the blank)"

.....

When I think of something that's a little unusual (basically anything other than chocolate chip cookies or some other cookie type) I tend to lean towards recipes that aren't too complex. That's because when I want to make say...Twinkie cupcakes, I don't want to waste time having to go to the store to get a million extra ingredients that I will probably only use once.

.....

I don't know why I feel the need to get instant gratification.

I tend to be like that with not only cooking but other house projects or ideas for Lindsay P Designs.

I am still working on enjoying the process and not being discouraged

when things don't happen instantaneously like I always hope for.

.....

Back to the twinkies.

Maybe it's the fact that authentic hostess twinkies no longer exist (you always want what you can't have) but yesterday I felt like having one.

I tend to think that making your own of anything is "healthier" so it worked out that I couldn't go buy one.

.....

Contradicting what I said earlier...Brian had to go to the store anyways so I had him pick up the 2 extra items I needed...yellow cake mix and marshmallow cream..

And as we watched the new Die Hard movie..I whipped them up!
