Lesson Learned: Sour Cream Muffin Cakes

June 30, 2009 By Laura 9 Comments

I offered to host playgroup today but when I only got a few responses late at night I decided not to bake (this happens in the summer a lot–people out of town, plus we have several newborns in the group). Then, late last night, I read Big Red Kitchen and knew that yes indeed I…

That doesn’t mean every dish on here is strictly authentic, but it does mean that even my adaptations are not undertaken lightly.
