Cupcakes for charity!
What made me happy today? Cupcakes for charity!
We had a charity bake-sale at work today. Everyone who wanted could make a dessert and bring it to the office, where portions would be sold for charity. So I baked some cupcakes.
Okay, some is an understatement. I baked 5 different kinds.
Plain vanilla cupcakes:
Plain vanilla cupcakes with royal vanilla icing:
Cupcakes with chocolate:
Double chocolate cupcakes:
Double chocolate cupcakes with triple chocolate frosting:
Needless to say, I had a few treats today. The things I do for charity ;-)

Fast-food Friday
What made me happy today? Fast-food Friday!
We've started a new tradition at work. In my new team, we'll be having fast-food for lunch, one Friday per month :-)
Today, we ordered Chinese. It was really yummie. Plus, it's fun to have lunch with my coworkers. We tried to limit the work talk, I think we managed pretty well !
I'm looking forward to repeating this!
Have a great Friday!

Soup
What made me happy today? Soup!
I love soup :-) It's easy to make, healthy, delicious and you can make a lot of it in one go! Which is really great, because if you have a freezer, you can freeze separate portions. That way, you can pop a portion in the microwave oven and have something warm to eat in minutes! Great if you're pressed for time.
Fall is finally here, and along with winter, these are the ideal seasons for soup. Of course, I can eat soup any time :-)
So here's the recipe for one of my favorite soups: mushroom soup, Hungarian style.
Ingredients:
-4 tablespoons unsalted butter
-2 cups onions (chopped)
-1 lb fresh mushrooms (sliced)
-2 teaspoons dill weed (dried)
-1 tbsp paprika
-1 tbsp soy sauce
-2 cups vegetable broth
-1 cup milk
-3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-1 tsp salt
-black pepper (ground, taste)
-2 teaspoons lemon juice
-1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
-1/2 cup sour cream
Directions:
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Saute the onions in the butter for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for 5 more minutes. Stir in the dill, paprika, soy sauce and broth. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the milk and flour together. Pour this into the soup and stir well to blend. Cover and simmer for 15 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Finally, stir in the salt, ground black pepper, lemon juice, parsley and sour cream. Mix together and allow to heat through over low heat, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not boil, boiling will cause the soup to curdle. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Mom's spaghetti
What made me happy today? My mom's spaghetti!
I had to be close to where my parents live for work today. So earlier this week I decided to call my parents and see if they would like me to come over. Of course, they said yes, and my mom wanted to know what I wanted to eat. I didn't really care, so we decided on spaghetti.
Mom's spaghetti is the best! Especially when served fresh, with a great helping of mom's love :-)
