• It’s a muffin puff kinda morning…

    I do not have enough words in my vocabulary to tell you all how much I love these muffin puffs.  Yes, you read that right, I am in LOVE with a little treat we call a muffin puff.  Trust me they are as cute as they sounds and as yummy as they look. What is a puff? Simply put it is a cross between a muffin and donut hole, but there is nothing simple about these bites. First, they are easy to make like muffins.  Mix everything together and then bake it off in cute mini muffin pans.  I LOVE mini muffin pans.  Don’t you?  Some of the best bites…

  • Pumpkin in the morning

    Hello Fall…you know what that means…it is PUMPKIN time!! I have to say the beginning of Fall is one of my favorite times of the year.  Bring on the pumpkins, yummy foods and cooler weather!! A match made in pumpkin heaven… Over the next few months you will see pumpkin recipes everywhere, for everything so I thought why not start with the first meal of the day…MUFFINS (I mean breakfast)!  I love pumpkin bread for sure but pumpkin muffins are my favorite.  They are even better when loaded with cream cheese and chocolate. If you frequent starbucks (like I do) I am sure you have seen their pumpkin bread, cookies, scones and…

  • Welcoming the week with blueberry LOVE

    Hello Monday!  Oh my, where did the weekend go?  I don’t know about you but I could use a long weekend. Well since we are not going to get an extra day let’s at least start the week off right with these muffins! Lemon & Blueberry, yes please First of all I love lemon and I love blueberries but I really love the two when they are put together.    I especially LOVE this combo in the summer. The lemon is just so fresh and the berries add a sweet little burst, making these muffins AMAZING!! Muffins make me smile There is just something so fun about a muffin.  I…

  • a berry muffin morning is a Spring must

    Spring is in full swing in my part of the world and I cannot get enough of all the yummy that comes with Spring.  Every time I walk into the produce area of my local grocery stores and farmers markets I am overwhelmed by all the beautiful veggies & fruits.  I am especially in love with all the berry goodness!! There are raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and strawberries EVERYWHERE and they look so, so good.  I love all the berry varieties but when I was in the grocery store not too long ago they had a combo of strawberries, blackberries and blueberries that were almost screaming my name (ok they were…

  • cornbread that is super cute and sweet

    Cornbread is one of those things that I have 1000 recipes for (kinda like brownies) but I just can’t get enough of them.  Each one is just a little different, making each one super special in its own right.   Over time I have tried so many recipes, some with buttermilk, some without, some with cheese, some without but our favorites is always the ones with honey…we love us some sweet cornbread.  We have also determined that we love cornbreads made like muffins…I mean it is just cute to have little cornbread muffins on the table, but this recipe would work great baked in a skillet or in a pan. For this  latest…

  • the skinny on cornbread

    If you were to ask The Hubby what his favorite all time side is you might be surprised what his answer would be…some might say mashed potatoes (Ok I would say mashed potatoes), some might say rice or broccoli but The Hubby would say cornbread.  He LOVES cornbread!!  There is just one problem…cornbread can be crazy fattening and not very conducive to a healthier eating plan, so I have been working on a lightened-up version of The Hubby’s favorite…only in muffin form! So why muffins…two reasons really.  They make it easy for portion control and they are cute….so its a win all the way around.  If you do not want to make…

  • skinny oatmeal n muffins

    Mornings are made for muffins…like these blueberry muffins, strawberry muffins, chocolate chip muffins or even these bran muffins  but sometimes muffins can be really full of all that stuff we don’t need (i.e. fat, calories & points)…but don’t worry I found these muffins!   First off I love oatmeal & I love muffins so the idea of putting oatmeal in a muffin made me a little giddy and then add in some brown sugar and maple syrup and I get super giddy.  Not only are these muffins loaded with things I love but they also taste anything but skinny, they actually taste very indulgent and you might even have some thoughts of guilt…

  • A perfect winter muffin

    The Holiday are a perfect time to break out a fun new muffin for your family and friends and these muffins are definitely a treat.  Anytime The Hubby and I have family or friends stay with us I want to have a a special breakfast treat for them in the morning and muffins are a go to for me.  I love muffins because you can make a couple different varieties without much time or effort but they are filling and can look pretty impressive.   For a special holiday treat I decided to bring together two of my favorites…cranberry and white chocolate.   I love this combo is pretty much…
