    There are many reasons I don’t like Winter. First of all, Medellin, the city where I come from, is called “ The City Eternal Spring”. So, as you may have guessed, the weather in Medellin always resembles spring and there are no winters. I am not use to this cold weather. I have lived in New England for ten years, but I am still not used to it. Every year around the same time in January, I ask my husband the same question, “When is the last day of winter”? This year his answer was, “Look at the calendar, I can’t believe you ask me the same questions every year!” The second reason that I don’t like Winter is that I hate snow. Okay, I think it looks beautiful from the window, but that’s about all I like about it. The third and final reason is that it gets dark so early. My husband, on the other hand, loves winter and hates the heat, so there is no chance we are moving to Florida any time soon 😉

    So, let me tell you the positive things about Winter. I can cook comfort food, drink hot chocolate and wear boots and nice coats. I started writing this post after talking to my cousin Claudia, who lives in Florida, and I told her that it was snowing here. She said “Oh really, I have the windows open... it is so beautiful here. This conversation inspired this post 🙂

    Now, about the roasted peppers. These cupcakes are a great way to hide some vegetables in kid’s snacks and a great treat for adults alike. Enjoy!

      Hola Erica!

      I really enjoyed reading this post. I feel the same exact way about winter. I've been braving the harsh NYC winters for 25 years and i'm still not used to it! I loathe the winter and am sometimes, i'm so jealous of people who live in California and Florida. These savory cupcakes are so cute!

      It is so hot here in Melbourne Australia that I find the idea of snow quite inviting!!!! But I am glad you are eating delicious warming food and drinking hot chocolate, and Winter will be gone before you know it!
      I LOVE this recipe! I can taste them already!

      Love the look of these cupcakes, they look amazing and savory - I'd have to eat one in a hurry because with those feet, I'd be afraid they'd walk away.

      Honestly, I have lived in the northeast my whole life, and you never get used to the cold. Ever. I find myself asking that exact same question in December, so at least you can hold out longer than I can!

      I love these muffins. They look so fluffy and delicious.

      The cold is horrible, sadly though for us in the UK, summer isn't much better or warmer. It is like living in an eternal autumn. Great post!

      It seems that people are either winter or summer types. I'm with you, give me an open window and a warm breeze everyday of the year. But you're right, cute coats and tasty baked good are a good consolation prize.

      Ha ha! I love New England! Lived there for 12 years and am moving back this spring FROM Florida! How funny is that! By the way it is freezing here - literally and has been for the past 2 weeks. We had to bring all our plants inside for fear they would freeze to death! However, those muffins look DELICIOUS!

      I'm with you! I lived in the desert for most of my life and for the last couple years have been in Montana. I *hate* the snow and last week the temp dropped to MINUS 33 degrees! I can't wait for summer 🙂 These muffins look really good... they'd be good with a hot bowl of soup!

      Hi Erica,

      Thank you for so much for such an incredible recipe...I love it …
      I live in Florida and even we have had a harsh (for us) winter. I did want to ask you, have you ever substituted the red pepper, my family does not like them.
