Maybe I'm taking this too far...

After seeing the post on Craigslist then being inspired by Sarah to look up the chef who made cheese from his fiance's breast milk, I thought I would google breast milk recipes and see what came up. I was surprised by how many options there are. So in a new feature for the next couple of weeks (to entertain me until the baby comes) I give you

TUESDAY'S TITTY TASTIES!

Vanilla Breast Milk Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting


1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup breast milk
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 tsp vanilla
Strawberry Buttercream Frosting
1/4 cup butter, softened
3 strawberries, hulled and chopped up
1 1/4 cups icing sugar
1/8 cup breastmilk
1/8 cup half-and-half
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 18 muffin cups with liners. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder until well mixed.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. With the mixer on low speed, beat the flour mixture alternately with the yogurt and breast milk. Beat in the vanilla. Pour the batter into the muffin cups.
Bake the cupcakes until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of each comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. Cream the butter until it is pale and fluffy. Add the strawberries: beat for 30 seconds. Then add the icing sugar, 1/2 cup at a time until well blended. Add the breast milk and cream, alternately by spoonfuls, beating until blended. Add the vanilla and beat until well incorporated.
Spread the frosting on the cooled cupcakes and place a piece of strawberry on the top of each.

While the idea of using breast milk to cook with is really gross....at least it's actual food. There's also a whole website dedicated to recipes using sperm....now that's just wrong.
