Lately, the fruit and vegetable shop I go to has started selling boxes of fruit and vegetables. I have started buying many of these boxes as not only is it cheaper, but it is helping us to eat healthier. Usually with the boxes of oranges, we juice some and eat the rest, but this time I decided to try something different. With the box of bananas I purchased, we made ice creamand ice cream and some yummy banana bars, so I thought I would have a go at some easy orange cupcakes.
