    Prep Time: 25 min
    Cook Time: 15 min
     
     
    Cupcakes:
     
    1 package(s) (18.25 ) devil’s food cake mix with pudding
     
    1 cup(s) sour cream
     
    1/2 cup(s) vegetable oil
     
    3 large eggs
     
    1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
     
    Frosting:
     
    2 large egg whites
     
    1 cup(s) sugar
     
    2 teaspoon(s) lemon juice
     
    1 teaspoon(s) (light) corn syrup
     
    1/4 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar
    orange food coloring
     
    decorating sugar crystals, jelly beans, candy corns, (optional)
     
    Directions:
     
    1.Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350ºF. Paper-line 24 muffin cups.
     
    2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, 3/4 cup water, sour cream, oil, eggs and vanilla, and blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the mixer, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then turn mixer up to medium speed and beat 2 minutes more. The batter should look well combined. Spoon batter into muffin cups, so that each liner is three-quarters full.
     
    3.Bake cupcakes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on wire rack for 5 minutes, then remove cupcakes from pans and leave them on the rack to cool completely.
     
    4.Meanwhile, make frosting: In top of double boiler, over 1 inch of simmering water, with handheld mixer at medium speed, beat egg whites, sugar, 1/4 cup water, lemon juice, corn syrup and cream of tartar until soft peaks form and temperature reaches 160ºF on candy thermometer, about 7 minutes. Remove top of double boiler from heat; beat 5 to 10 minutes longer, until stiff peaks form. Fold in orange food coloring until evenly distributed.
     
    5.Spread frosting on cupcakes and decorate with sugar crystals, jelly beans or other candies, as desired.

    Here, pumpkin isn't just an ingredient, it's actually what you cook in, too, creating a charming container for a hearty stew. To make serving easier, choose a pumpkin that is squat and wide, rather than tall and narrow.
     
    Tender spicy beef stew steams inside a glorious golden pumpkin, which makes a beautiful presentation. This beautiful dish can be server with a salad or soup. My friends and family so love this dish it never fails to wow them every time. ENJOY!

    This is a very economy friendly recipe look below for total cost you will be amaze.
    Gazpacho, the classic fresh-vegetable salad from Spain that eats like a soup, usually takes a lot of chopping. In this streamlined recipe, most of the chopping is done for you by using canned tomatoes and vegetable juice. Because vegetable juice is a combination of several vegetables, you get most of the garden-fresh quality of a traditional gazpacho in a single ingredient. By adding some smoked turkey, this traditional light soup serves as a hearty, one-pot main-dish meal. For a spicier gazpacho, add a dash of hot pepper sauce. ENJOY!
     
    Total cost: $8.31
    Servings: 4
     
    Preparation Time: Approximately 10 minutes
