I’m sure you have all seen the mini muffin “donut” craze on blogs already. I have been wanting to try it out and have several ideas. This particular muffin wasn’t even on my radar, but as I headed up to the mountains with the boys I knew I wanted to try something. I was first thinking something zucchini since it is plentiful in the garden right now. I brought up several zucchini with us, but alas, I have eaten most of them already!
It is offcially summer break now! To start it off a bit rocky my husband had to leave the country for business the very first full day of break. That’s right, me and three rambunctious boys alone for nearly seven days. This calls for baking and keeping their mouths full. For our first morning without Daddy we made these muffins. They were a huge hit. Sean declared them “the bestest muffins ever”!

I pulled up two big areas of lettuce last weekend and figured why not try to grow something it those spots. It is still a little early for the pumpkins seeds to go in and squash was the answer. We’ll see if it grows.

This is a wonderfully coconut filled ice cream with dark chocolate and almonds. Somehow many of my recipes seem to contain coconut, odd since I could not stand it growing up! I can’t recall when I began to like coconut, but there is clearly no stopping me now! Continue reading
Sometimes I feel the need to shake up breakfast now and then. The easiest way for me to accomplish that is to make muffins. They are easy to make and portable, always a bonus should we be in a rush to get to the bus in the morning. Continue reading
I was recently at the grocery store and was appalled at how much processed junk food I saw in somebody’s cart as they walked by. One a positive note though, I did get a good idea. They had several boxes of pudding cups. In the past I have made pudding for the boys for their lunches or for when we go on picnics. It was time to make some again!
