About
I’m 28, an attorney, but currently staying at home with my 10 month old son (The Littlest Apple, aka The EXTREMELY Picky Apple) who keeps me busier than I ever imagined. To say that he is a “spirited” child would be an understatement. My last name really is Apple. My husband (The Picky Apple) and I live in Katy, Texas (near Houston). Both of us went to high school in this area and attended The University of Texas in Austin. Hook ‘em, Horns!
I love to cook and bake, but really hate grocery shopping and cleaning up the kitchen after I cook. I’m always trying out new recipes, looking for the next great thing to serve to family and friends. I’m addicted to the Food Network, especially anything with Paula Deen or Bobby Flay. Some of my favorite ingredients: chocolate, cream cheese, rosemary, pecans, feta cheese, hazelnuts, Nutella, dried cranberries, spinach, garlic, cinnamon, olives, sundried tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, bacon. If a recipe contains any of those things, I’ll try it. A combination of several of those ingredients is even better, assuming it’s not chocolate and garlic (bleh!).
I’m also a voracious reader and enjoy many different genres. Thank goodness for our local library!

We can’t wait to try these! Are you cooking them for us?!

Hey Cara,
It is me Brookes friend, she told me about your blog and cupcake experiments so I thought I would check it out. Just to say I love the blog and may even try a few of your recipes. Note anything from Magnolia is great, but even better in real life….I just don’t know how they do it? Good Luck, I have a great strawberry cupcake recipe but The Picky Apple may not like it because there are no mistaking them for the box kind. Which I too happen to enjoy for a quick fix.
Xo,
El
