I mentioned some time previously that as we get closer to school starting (which it has) my kids seem to re-discover their desire to spend time in the kitchen. This summer was no different, and the other day Alex decided that she was going to take the neighbors muffins (if you are a neighbor and…
Sweet Chocolate Flecked Muffins and Savory Tomato and Olive Muffins: Baking with Kids
This post is a little bittersweet. These muffins were baked back in mid-August (yes I am that behind); both kids helped a bit with the savory muffins, but much to Sammy’s frustration, Alex made the sweet muffins on her own (with my supervision). I explained to Sammy that she and I would have all year…
Alex Takes on Double Chocolate Chip Muffins
Some of you may have thought, after witnessing the cocoa powder mess from the brownies, that I would not be brave enough to let Alex back into the kitchen. Then it occurred to me that if I taught her to make muffins I could get her making her own savory muffins for her lunch box…
Egg Muffins
The discovery of this recipe has been an absolute game changer for me. I am not a fan of waking up early, I am not a fan of lunch foods, and I am frequently on the go around lunchtime anyway. Between all these issues I frequently end up skipping breakfast and nutritionally skimping on lunch,…
Basic–but so much tastier than that sounds–Pumpkin Muffins
It’s hard to be a baking mom in 2010. You dream of all the goodies you’re going to whip up for your little darlings and their friends, but then they get to preschool and everything must be store bought and individually packaged. And processed in a nut free facility. Now don’t get me wrong–parents of…
Cornbreads On The Side
I am out of town on Spring Break (but don’t even think about robbing me–my dogs will eat you) so you are getting a double feature bonus post. Bonus because I might not have normally shared these muffins, seeing as I have no pictures of them. However they are of a theme with the pancakes…
Salty Sweet Chocolate Chip Muffins
This is another one of those cakelike muffins that seem to be neither cake nor muffin. It makes an excellent afternoon pick me up but somehow seems a little disappointing as an after dinner dessert. Despite what I just said, it is also quite yummy. It also is a great before bed snack–although not a…
"Muffins Are For People Who Don’t Have The ‘Nads To Order Cake For Breakfast": Triple Chocolate Muffins
I giggle every time I read that quote. It is from Kitchen Confidential, the show not the book. The show, by the way, which was sadly underrated and underviewed–if you ever watch TV on DVD I recommend checking it out. Anyway, I snorted and had to pause the DVR from laughing when I heard that…
Janice Carr’s Mixed-Grain Muffins
As soon as I saw this recipe–thumbing through, I might add, since I have not gotten there yet in my reading of The Cornbread Gospels–I knew I was going to make it for my playgroup. It looked like the perfect combination of healthy and tasty–and what kid does not like muffins? Plus they allowed for…
