Golden Oreo Cupcake Recipe

My favorite room in my house is the kitchen. It’s a place that makes my heart happy and my stomach content. I enjoy all sorts of cooking whether it’s whipping up something for dinner or trying a new dessert recipe.  I’ve noticed that one thing I always keep handy with me in my kitchen is my phone. I’m always needing to figure out how to convert measurements or pull a recipe that I can’t remember in full detail. It’s not a bad thing but sometimes it’s a pain. By the end of the day, I want to unplug and not be staring at my phone, not to mention I can’t pick my phone up without getting distracted and being in the kitchen is my time to relax and decompress.

I’ve been using the Samsung Hub a lot while I’m cooking. There is an app on the Hub that gives you instant access to millions of recipes. No matter if I’m cooking a juicy steak or frying potatoes, the Hub can give me insight and tips on how to cook.  One recipe that I whipped up recently is a delicious batch of Golden Oreo Cupcakes. They are great for all holidays, I especially like to make them around Christmas.   While baking these, I played a few jams on the Hub, looked up recipes and even scrolled on Pinterest!

The holidays aren’t even here and I’m already seeing the benefits of owning a Samsung Hub. I can’t wait to use it even more in the upcoming months. Have you checked them out at Best Buy? If not, go into your local store and play with them. They are amazing and you won’t believe all they can do.
