An Adult Cupcake & I've Been Tagged!!! Twice!!

Over 25 years ago I was given this wonderful cupcake recipe and have made it several times over the years. It has a wonderful "sensually" (as once described) gooey center and is best eaten warm with a tall glass of ice cold milk. It is similar to the cupcake that Starbucks sells, however Starbucks, step aside because I was making these before you originated!! ha ha. Let me know if you make them and how you like them. So glad that many of you enjoyed the Walnut Squares recipe! Tickled pink that you liked them!!

I've been tagged by two sweet blogging friends, Priscilla at http://sweetremembrance1.blogspot.com/and Cherry at http://cherrysjubileehome.blogspot.com/ at for the middle name game. Here are the rules for those that choose to follow them: Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had. When you are tagged you need to write your own blog post containing your own middle name game facts. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

My first name is really Rebecca. I was named after my great, great grandmother Minnie Rebecca and my Aunt Minnie Rebecca. My Mom dropped the Minnie (thank you Mom cause, afterall, it would be ironic to call me "Minnie" at 5'11"!!!!). My middle name is Ann. So...

A = appreciative - I appreciate everything that God has blessed me with in life.

N = ninny - A simpleton - I don't have to have lavish things and don't buy designer labels to dress in. I am a blue jean, T shirt and Converse sneakers kind of gal.

N = nest - Not only do I love birds and anything bird related, I am also a nester.
