This weekend I celebrated the birthday of fellow foodie and long time friend, Dee. We met in SLO and became fast friends, sharing our love of food and running. When we first met and I told her I joined the Cross Country Team at Cuesta she quickly jumped on board. Our days typically became routines of practice followed by trips to New Frontiers, a local specialty market, and recipe experiments. She is definitely one of those people in my life that no matter how much time has gone by since our last visit, it feels as though we never parted. Like many of our fleeting obsessions, I recently discovered that we were on the same wavelength about sweet potatoes. So to pay tribute to the good ol days I made Sweet Potato cupcakes from this recipe and a variation of this frosting recipe where I experimentally added a tsp. Cinnamon and a tbsp. Cocoa. They turned out really well, just perfect for the occasion.
Dee remains in SLO for the time being, and I in SF making it hard to see each other often. However, I believe that I will be seeing a lot more of her in the coming months, and I couldn't be happier.
