Quick + Easy Pumpkin Cupcakes

October 13, 2016

I love to bake, but I haven’t really been making much time for it these days. So, anything with “quick” or “easy” in the recipe, I’m sold. And if the recipe only calls for 2 ingredients? Ummm, now THAT is my kind of sweet. Full disclosure: I’ve made these easy pumpkin cupcakes twice this week. (One batch for me, one for the baby.) Actually, the first time I made them, they were gone before I could even take photos of them. Harper, the Mister and I all devoured them.

Since they only have 2 ingredients, they look a little like muffins. But just add some frosting and don’t you worry – they are mouth-wateringly scrumptious cupcakes.

Oh and ps – I’m afraid Harper is taking after her mama as far as the sweet tooth goes. I limit the amount of sweets she has, but she does get to indulge in a little treat every day. Cupcakes are easily her favorite, and she calls them “cupkates,” which is doubly funny because my best friend’s name is Kate and she and I have a cake-making tradition that stems back a couple of decades.

I hope you enjoy these easy Pumpkin Cupcakes. Errr, I mean, Cupkates. And try my mom’s simple scone recipe next!

Tomorrow I get to do something I’ve been wanting Tomorrow I get to do something I’ve been wanting to do for years. I will have a partial hysterectomy (leaving my ovaries). I’m 41 years old and it’s high time.  
 
I’ve lived with chronic uterine pain from fibroids for almost 20 years. It’s affected every part of my life, almost every single day. I’ve learned to deal with the pain and mitigate where I can. But still… 
 
We need to talk about fibroid pain. 
We need to talk about period pain.  
We need to talk about uterine pain. 
  
Most of all we need to listen to women when we say we’re in pain.  
 
Cramps HURT like hell. And while we’re strong enough to deal with the pain, maybe we’re just too damn tired to continue trying.  
 
And did you know? It’s called a “hysterectomy” because it was believed that women’s uteruses were making them hysterical.  
 
Let that sink in.  
 
I’m not hysterical.  
We’re not hysterical.  
We’re fucking warriors who have fought battles with our bodies.  
 
It’s time.
