chocolate avocado cupcakes with avocado buttercream

I had to include the entire name in my post title up there because I cannot get it out of my head. And I’m not even much of a sweets person. Which is probably why I’m so excited about these — because I am very much of an avocado person. And also a chartreuse person. And also a cupcakes with not too much icing on them person. Also I love the word Buttercream. It’s on my desert island list of words.

As if all that weren’t enough for me to tell you about these intriguing cupcakes, get this: the idea for them came from a dream. As in, Meghan from Chocolate and Tea dreamed (dreamt?) these cupcakes. Literally. You can read all about it here.

So not only do I now have a recipe for what will undoubtedly become my favorite dessert ever. But I also found a new-to-me blog to love. And who doesn’t need one of those? Especially a food blog with gorgeous photography. Especially the week of Thanksgiving.

Camera Lens Coffee Mugs

I love love love these camera lens coffee mugs from Photojojo. They’ve had the Canon lens for a while, but they just added my beloved Nikon to their offerings. It would make my morning coffee so much more interesting.
