Since I am in the mood for confessions, I wanted to share another one with you. First of all, I love Miracle Whip. That has nothing to do with the confession I am about to make…I just wanted to clear the air with that first. My favorite pumpkin muffin is derived from a cake mix….

Keeping it Sunny (Recipe: Blueberry Sunrise Muffins)
Would you like to know what happened to me while I was at church yesterday? I was sitting in mass when my 3 year old told me she needed to go potty. I took her back to the ladies restroom, she did her thing, I bent down to help her pull up her panties and…
Late Bloomer (and Pumpkin Muffins)
I have always caught on to trends way past when it was cool to do so. I finally decided to grow my bangs out… just about the time that having bangs became cool again. You know that No-Knead bread that was so popular a year or two ago around the blogosphere? I am just now…

Smashed Strawberry Muffins Recipe
Strawberry Muffins are a great breakfast or sweet treat! There is nothing out there that is quite as gratifying to me as smashing, kneading, chopping, beating, etc. the heck out of food.
