Red White And Blue M&Ms Flag Cupcakes
It's almost that time - Memorial Day and the 4th of July! While we are all celebrating the end of the school year, the beginning of "less rush hour traffic" season and settling in for our long, lazy days of summer, it's time to begin planning your 4th of July festivities!
It looks like I will be working this 4th of July, helping a friend with her face painting business at our local community 4th of July celebration.
The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays, and my all-time favorite summertime holiday. My ex husband and I used to go down to Key Largo and stock up on fireworks, then have my nieces and nephews over to shoot off fireworks as the sun went down. Even if we didn't have a party, we always supplied the entertainment for the kiddos!

This Red White and Blue M&Ms Flag Cupcakes Recipe is going to become one of your go-to recipes not only for 4th of July, but for Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day and Labor Day as well! It’s literally perfect for every single American holiday we have!
Now, I know that some don’t like the idea of “celebrating” Memorial Day, but for myself, as a former Marine wife and Army daughter, I believe in celebrating the lives of the men and women in uniform who have sacrificed their lives for the American ideal and our continuing freedoms.
Yes, I said freedomS, as in plural. Because regardless of where we may be as a country at this moment in time, we have more freedom than most, and I think that we should all really take a moment to reflect on that.
I am not exactly proud of things that are currently happening in the United States, but I love my country and I still proud to be an American. We may currently be defined by our political drama, but dang it, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
As with many of my recipes, these cupcakes use a box cake mix as the base, as why waste a bunch of time cooking a cupcake mix from scratch? We all know by now that most box cake mixes are usually pretty high quality and they just make life so much easier!
Instead of going to the store and buying all of the different ingredients to make a cake from scratch, picking up a box of cake mix for $1-$3 and using kitchen staples like oil and eggs is just so simple...
Instead of worrying about picking up vanilla extract (and we all know that pure vanilla extract can easily be $1 5-$20 for the good stuff), baking soda, baking powder, the right kind of flours...have you ever gone to bake something and realized that your flour was expired?
I have! I honestly didn't even realize that flour and some baking supplies expired, but they do! Even granulated white sugar has an expiration date. Go figure!
