Beautiful blood orange and pomegranate cupcakes and recipe link

And a different kind of "blood" from the bloody knife cupcakes below...these are blood orange and pomegranate cupcakes and what drew me to them is how beautiful they are. Such vivid colors and what sound like striking, unusual flavors. Get the recipe at food blog The Cilantropist.

From the post:

Now I should mention there is one caveat: These cupcakes don't have a dense crumb and they don't have anything thick such as frosting that prevents the glaze from soaking into the cupcake, so these beauties are best glazed, served, and eaten immediately. With these lovely flavors, I can't imagine that these cupcakes won't be devoured on the spot, but if they sit for a few hours the glaze will saturate the top of the cupcake. Just f.y.i.

Orange and Beet Juice (Healthy Juice)

Ingredients:

2 big size fresh Orange
1 skinny slice of Beet (Beetroot)
Sugar (or honey), Salt and pepper powder optional


Method:
Step 1: Peel the oranges and cut the beet roots in to small slices.

Step 2: Crush with hand blander and drain into vessel.
Step 3: Add sugar (or honey), Salt and Pepper powder for making tasty. I can not add any of this sugar salt and pepper powder in it.
Step 4: Pure in to glasses. Don’t put long time in to the freeze because orange juice vitamin C taste is different after the 30 minutes of making. Try to drink fresh.

I will prefer without any other things in it and as plan it is also tasty and real taste of orange with color of beet root. It is rich with an excellent source of vitamin C from orange and a source of potassium, iron, and calcium from Beet.
