Cupcakes!
Banana-Cardamom Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting, if we’re being fancy and descriptive about it. And oh my god, are they good. The cupcakes themselves are from the recipe here, found via foodgawker. They’re not what I’m used to making – the batter was really firm and almost cookie-dough-ish, as opposed to the more liquid cupcake batter I’ve made with other recipes in the past. It turned out wonderfully, though, and I have it on good authority from several people that the cupcakes are delicious.
The frosting is – well, we’ll call it chocolate buttercream, it’s sort of “the best I could do icing-wise with what I had in my kitchen,” but it’s made of cocoa and butter and icing sugar in proportions that worked out okay.

Dinner – this is Spicy Arabian Chicken with Couscous from What’s For Lunch Honey?, which is fast becoming one of my favourite places to look online for Indian and Middle Eastern recipes. Everything I try is consistently delicious, even when I end up substituting half the ingredients based on what I can find at the grocery store closest to my house. Nom nom nom.

Cookies I baked for a my Secret Pal in the holiday gift exchange at school. More of these cookies, but with white chocolate chips inside instead of semisweet – I think I may need to take a break on them for a while, or I’m going to start to get sick of eating them!
