    With the last bit of summer dwindling away, I am grasping for all the stone fruit to make just a few more delicious recipes.

    Although I don't come from the South, bourbon and peach are two of my favorite things. Combine them into a sweet cupcake and it is a home run kind of dessert.

    If you know me, you know that I am a very unorganized person. I kind of thrive on chaos and always have a million things going at once. Just one look at my computer says it all. I have about 15 tabs open at all times and will jump from project to project. While it drives my husband nuts, it works for me.

    I think I had one of my wild creative moments while making these Bourbon Peach Streusel Cupcakes. It started out with just fresh white peaches which then had to be topped with a sweet brown sugar streusel. Then I saw the bourbon.  I mean only good things can come from bourbon right? Yah, okay, maybe not all good things. But peaches and bourbon produce very, very good things. Well, cupcakes at least. Enjoy my friends!
