Hostess Cupcakes

Elementary school was such an easy-going and carefree time. At the age of 10, the only major concern in my life was why I didn’t receive the same delicious treats in my lunchbox that my friends did. And which treat in particular was I most concerned about? Hostess® CupCakes. I remember being so jealous of the girls who would pull out those perfectly packaged chocolate cakes from their lunchbox. And I wasn’t even gluten-free at the time.

Can you imagine how it would feel to be a gluten-free 10-year-old? Unable to try any of the tantalizing treats advertised on TV and unable to enjoy any of the delectable desserts eaten by your friends at lunch? Well, not to worry because I have good news! Now even gluten-free kids can enjoy the deliciousness of Hostess® CupCakes. Because everyone deserves a treat now and then (especially those of us who are gluten-free!).

Nectarine Almond Tart

24 hours. That was the lifespan of this delicious tart. Baked fresh in the morning, this dessert was already half devoured by early evening. And even before this poor little tart could celebrate the one-day mark of its birth, the remaining bits had mysteriously disappeared. Luckily, I was able to steal one tiny sliver for myself, just so I could attest to the deliciousness of this creation. But, in this case, are words even necessary? I think the lifespan says it all. 24 hours, my friends. Grab a piece while you can!
