Worlds Best Chocolate Chocolate chip Cupcakes <3

Here is one of my favorite recipes to make ! It's quick and very simple.

Sometimes I make it with the Cream cheese topping and then other time I leave it off. :)

With out the topping it becomes egg and dairy free ! ;-)

World's Best Chocolate Cupcakes

1 c. Sugar
1 1/2 c. Flour
1 tsp. Baking soda
1/4 c. Cocoa
1/2 Salt

1 c. Water
1/3c. Oil
1 Tbsp. Vinegar
1 tsp. Vanilla
1c. Chopped Nuts ( Optional , I never use them )

Cheese topping :
8 oz. package of creme cheese
1 unbeaten egg
1/3 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. Salt
Dash of vanilla
1 c. Chocolate Chips

Hot Tea Anyone ?

Well, I love tea. Hot tea. I enjoy sweet tea in the summer but it doesn't even begin to compare to how much I enjoy a nice cup of hot tea in the winter ! When I was young the only two flavors I would drink was Chamomile and what we called "throat coat".
They were both natural but somewhat sweet compared to the other flavors.
In the last year or so I have completely branched out! I also I have found what brands are the best. (IMHO) I like Harney & Son's , Celestial Seasonings and Tazo.
I thought I would list what I currently drink and see if any one else has suggestions or wants to share their favorites ;)

Tazo :
Passion
Wild Sweet Orange

Celestial seasoning :
Sweet Apple Chamomile
Gingerbread
Red Raspberry Leaf
Eckinacha Wellness Tea

Harney & Son's :
Hot cinnamon spice <-- ( My current Fav. !!)

This is what my desk usually looks like on a cold night. Never with out my mug beside me ! lol
