Cupcake Country

We love cupcakes around here. They're the perfect size and so cheerful! It's hard not to like a cupcake, I find. But I found a new and delicious recipe in the newest edition of Midwest Living.

They are Kansas Sunflower Cupcakes (recipe on page 164). I made them yesterday and my husband raved (actually, he said he thought he heard angels singing, such was his delight!). And it makes a perfect dozen. Not too many.

The only substitution I made was for the wheat germ, because I didn't have any. So I put in some graham cracker crumbs. A definite keeper!
