I am notorious for planning exhausting vacations.  If you want to spend your vacation relaxing on the beach with a good book - it's probably best, not to invite me.😅  If you want to see all the boroughs of New York City in a single afternoon - I'll be your travel agent.🙋🏻‍♀️🗽 My family jokes about the training that they have to do in preparation for an "Amy-cation" just so they can keep up with my ridiculous pace.  🏃🏻‍♀️

My speciality is packing a whole lot of adventure into a short amount of time.  Did I mention that we toured Ireland in a weekend? 🇮🇪😅  For me, the litmus test for a good vacation is the level of exhaustion that I feel when I return home. 😅  As you might have guessed, I'm not the easiest person to travel with - I admit that. 😬  Lucky for me, I've got the best, most energetic and tolerant travel partner to accompany me on these crazy vacations.  (I'm pretty sure that was in our wedding vows. 😂)

My love of packing the maximum into the minimum isn't only a vacation trait for me, though.  It's a characteristic that carries over into my cooking too.   This strawberry cupcake is the perfect example of that.  I managed to squeeze in a serving of fresh strawberries, a handful of frozen strawberries and some heaping spoonfuls of freeze dried strawberries into each cupcake.🍓 This little treat packs a big strawberry punch and it is sooooo good.
