You aren’t seeing things, I’ve emerged from my cave to make these delicious muffins. Strawberries are my favorite fruit and I hope that the baby will like them too! It did feel great to bake again for the first time in 6 weeks. I’m not experiencing the aches & pains of the third trimester yet thankfully so I want to

So I went rogue this week. I made a muffin recipe from my Pregnancy Cooking & Nutrition for Dummies book this week. Having to be at work early these days, I don’t have much time to cook. I like to sleep in as much as I can. With that being said, I like to cook things in advance as much

Yes, look who’s back? Yes, this is a late submission, but it’s still Monday! I’ll be honest, these weren’t the easiest muffins to prepare. I always have a hard time with muffins that have special fillings. This one ended up erupting all over my oven. So yes, I have a jelly filled oven right now. Some of the jelly did

I’m peeping out of my little cave with my first Muffin Monday post of the year. I must admit when I first saw the recipe, my nose wrinkled a bit when I saw the original recipe called for onions. I had to let it sink in for a minute & think of these more like biscuits, than sweet muffins. I

Ok, I couldn’t pass up on this one. Nutella & a muffin. You can’t possibly go wrong! Once again, I stuck to the original recipe. No need to be healthy here, plus its a little bit of a hassle to figure out the ratio of baking powder when you sub regular flour for self rising. This was a very easy

The minute I saw this in my inbox, I threw my healthiness out the window. This muffin was made to be enjoyed in its oozy gooey sinful form. So with a giggle, I bought some white self rising flour & the rest of the sweet ingredients. I really felt like a mad scientist putting this concoction together. Sure it was

It’s beginning to look a lot like… the holidays! That’s how I felt while I was making these muffins. When the scents of cinnamon and ginger fill the air, you really can’t help but be in a festive mood. For me, these were the most no fuss muffins that I’ve made so far. I just need to learn how to bake

Everyone has a kitchen disaster. Well it was my turn this week. The original recipe called for canned apples, which I’d never seen, so I substituted applesauce. I thought it’d come out great. It smelled like fall in my kitchen but it sure didn’t look like it. Instead, the applesauce made the muffins very dense so there was no rise

After going rogue last week, I’ve returned to Baker Street’s Muffin Monday capers! This was the first time I’ve made marble muffins, marble anything really. I found the prep time to be a bit more time consuming but still fun. My favorite part was making the streusel. The streusel making was messy but it was fun to just be a

I didn’t participate in Bakerstreet’s muffin Monday but I still wanted to make one for the week. So I consulted my trusty Betty Crocker cookbook & came up with a banana & chocolate chip muffin. I deviated slightly from the original recipe by using whole wheat flour, substituting applesauce for oil, and adding in the chocolate chips. I loved how
