Baked beans & Cupcakes

Ok yesterday was interesting in matters of..oh well food.

There is something you have to know about me.
I am a terrible cooker. But in my defense, it is not because I can't, it's just that I am sooo lazy when I have to cook, so I always end up doing pretty basic stuff. Yesterday it was no exception but that doesn't mean it was an interesting in my kitchen.

Couple weeks ago I was at the super market to buy basic ingredients for my basic cooking skills (I always end up buying the same old stuff - one package of sliced bread, cheese, turkey slices, pasta and some other random stuff oh oh and potato chips) . So while I was there trying to find the next best BASIC thing for my cooking, I saw a can of Heinz - Baked Beans. I've always wanted to try it but at the last time I was just hesitating to try. But not that rainy day. That day I decided to be brave and spice up my cooking skills with...an already cooked can of beans.

One step at the time people! Don't be harsh on me. I ain't no Martha Stewart.



So after I bought it took me 2-3 weeks to try ( I am not a fan of beans). Yesterday was that brave day!
At this point I think I should give you some advice on how to cook the already baked beans. 
Pay attention. This is important.

You carefully open the can and then you empty it in a saucepan where you stir it geeently while heating. You do that for couple minutes and voilĂ ! It's ready!

Oh I forgot to tell you something! Careful not to boil it because it alters the flavor and we sure don't want that, right?! 

As I told you, I am not a fan of beans but I have to admit that I enjoyed eating it.
Heinz baked beans just got one more fan!

So now after being all healthy let's just skip to an amazing and unexpected dessert.
My best friend is the complete opposite of me. My best friend is Martha Stewart. No I am kidding but she is really close. She cooks, she bakes, she does crafts, she does EVERYTHING. 

The day before yesterday she baked these amazing cupcakes with cherry flavor and since we didn't have the time to meet she send me six of them with her boyfriend. 

Here is a picture of them so you can take a..virtual taste of them!

Thank you bestieeee!

I think my week had a perfect start.
