It will probably shock you to hear that I’m not the biggest muffin fan in the world. Usually they’re too sweet, too bready, too sticky, too…something. Evidently I am pickier than I thought. But these MUFFINS. Gracious. A few weeks … Read More
Early this year, some mom friends and I decided to start a little joy school, or a coop toddler preschool class, once a week. We all had kids of similar ages, and we planned to each teach one week a … Read More
As I don’t yet have any kids in real school, anytime someone laments that summer is over, I just want to grab them and say, “It’s NOT OVER! We have three more weeks! Don’t steal my summer!!” Ahem. It’s possible … Read More
I love panzanellas for being so fresh, versatile, and delicious. However, with just white bread, tomatoes, and cucumber, I’m usually hungry a couple of hours later. So I went with my staple – some black beans – to add some … Read More
Much as it saddens me to admit, K’s first birthday is right around the corner. First birthdays are big in Indian tradition, so I’ve been thinking of doing a little party for her. She is super social, so I think … Read More
Ah, yes, the coconut oil obsession continues. I made this scrub as a quick DIY addition to some Christmas gifts last year and have been using it regularly myself ever since. It’s the perfect thing as we start to … Read More
Ohhh, August tomato sickness strikes again. We’ve gone through pounds upon pounds of tomatoes in the last few weeks, and I’m still not over it. Roasted tomatoes in everything, including this delicious strata. We’ve made this a million times – … Read More
We made these popsicles last summer and loved them. But popsicles are often messier than I’d prefer at the dinner table (especially with a few snail-pace eaters over here, AHEM, N), so I thought I’d whirl it into a frozen … Read More
[Whoo boy, first toddler eating and now toddler screen time? Since when did I become such a not-afraid-of-controversy blogger? (I didn’t; I’m still deathly afraid. This just happens to be important to me.)]A couple of months ago, Janssen posted about … Read More
Blouse/Necklace: Forever 21 (here and here); Skirt: Banana Republic (old); Shoes: Steve Madden (old); Belt: Target (came with another skirt) I’ve been a total bookworm for as long as I remember. My mom has vivid memories of spending … Read More
I’m generally a strictly hot-soup-belongs-in-the-wintertime sort of person (although chilled soups, such as peach and strawberry and cucumber are planted firmly in my mind’s summer, but one could say that’s more dessert than meal) (will I ever create parentheticals shorter … Read More
Tuesday was National Cheesecake Day! And I’m not one to let a holiday go un-celebrated, that’s just not right. So I took one for the team and made a dessert. And it was good. Very good.  Blueberry Cheesecake … Read More
It will probably shock you to hear that I’m not the biggest muffin fan in the world. Usually they’re too sweet, too bready, too sticky, too…something. Evidently I am pickier than I thought.
But these MUFFINS. Gracious. A few weeks ago, we were out of a bunch of staples, including oats (our standard breakfast), eggs (standard breakfast #2), and had run out of waffles I’d frozen. So, baking it was. I had no fruit except for a couple of random leftover oranges. Despite the fact that I like-but-don’t-love oranges, and it didn’t sound like the most thrilling recipe around, I figured I’d give it a shot since my options were slim.
Oh my word.
Commence inhaling of 7+ mini muffins.
We made them again for joy school yesterday and the kids scarfed them, too. And, ahem, me.
Seriously. Go make them.
