We’ve seriously run out of shows to watch. We’re in that month or so where there is basically nothing on to watch that’s new, besides a few random shows. So, we’re trying to find shows to stream. We used to watch NCIS pretty regularly, but then stopped for one reason or another. I’m sure it had a lot to do with timing – too many shows on at the same time. Back then, we could only record one show while watching another. The horror! The other night I realized that 11 of the 13 seasons are on Netflix! Basically the best binge opportunity and a perfect time to catchup.

In other news… I’ve somehow managed to completely avoid buying apples in bulk so far this year, but it’s definitely on my to-do list for the very near future. I’m craving Fall like nothing else. I know just the other day I said I was in limbo between Fall and Summer, but somewhere between then and now I’ve crossed the line. I’m ready to fully embrace everything Fall related again.

Because it’s the weekend. And, because Labor Day weekend is two weeks away… Though, I’m honestly not sure how that’s even possible because I swear Summer just started….

Cupcakes.

Ridiculously tasty and fluffy homemade (aka not a box mix in sight) angel food cake cupcakes, topped off with creamy stabilized whipped cream and fresh raspberries.

These cupcakes are seriously dreamy and one of the best parts about them is obviously the frosting. I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’ll stand up to high outdoor Summer temperatures but they’ll definitely keep at indoor air conditioned temps for quite a while without the concern of them literally dripping right off of the cupcakes, as normal whipped cream frosting would likely do… and rather quickly too!

My family loved these straight from the fridge. I highly recommend trying them that way. Super chilled whipped cream with the perfect light and fluffy cake is a-mazing.

Be sure to add these angel food cupcakes to your weekend baking plans!
