Cupcakes for dinner

Don't they look delicious! Zachary was so excited when I told him we were having cupcakes for dinner on Sunday, April 1st. I served them with broccoli. He ate the broccoli first because he said he should save his sweets for the end.

His face was funny as he pealed his cupcake. You could tell he thought something seemed a little strange about these cupcakes. He took a bite and I asked how they tasted and he said, "not to good." I said "April Fools!" and told him they were meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato icing. He said, "I don't like them." He actually very sweet about it. And I thought the meatloaf and potatoes were just as tasty as usual.

Now before you go thinking I am the meanest mom in the world, I did go ahead and make him some real cupcakes for dessert. I tried a recipe from Dr. Oz...one box of cake mix and 12 ounces of Club Soda. It was so moist, and can't even tell you how good it was. A little flatter than normal, but low-fat, and delicious. You can't beat that, and Zachary said they were good!
