Hostess Limited Edition Cupcakes

Hostess has been a pretty big hit for us on Quest for the Best, so what a perfect way to mark our first year! Hopefully they get the seal of approval....

Hostess has had a pretty decent run on our podcast. Why’s that? Well, they make a pretty decent snack cake. And they are good for all occasions. Road trips, after school snack, after work snack, after dinner snack, breakfast, lunch… you name it. So, let us see if these limited edition Strawberry and Key Lime Cupcakes live up to the high Hostess standards.

Also, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that tomorrow, March 11th marks the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF QUEST FOR THE BEST! I cannot believe it has already been a year! We have tried so many different foods and had a lot of laughs, a lot of good conversations, and probably added a few pounds to the ol’ scale. I want to say a whole hearted thank you to those of you who have been listening since the beginning. And a huge thanks to those who have supported us monetarily. It really means a lot to us! Please consider making a donation if you haven’t to help us celebrate this milestone. And better yet, tell your friends to start listening! Share our content on your social media. We really would like to see some traction on this podcast! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

MINI EPISODE: Tropical Blast Twinkies!
Listen now (14 min) | Tropical Blast Twinkies. Now this one was a complete surprise. One day I was over at the Family Dollar picking up a soda, and I just happened to see a box of these sitting there. Never being a huge Twinkie fan, and despite the fact that I thought these would be terrible, I purchased them. “For the podcast.” I told myself. Well, let’s see if it was a wor…
