Can I just say.............



YUMM!!!








I found this delightful creation on a blog this morning....... and, well, since I simply adore muffins, I thought, well, why not give it a try?

This, in spite of the fact that as much as I love them, I am not very good at baking muffins........ mine are, at the very least, reminiscent of "the Sahara desert"..........

But, oh, no, not this time! Not this lovely batch of "brown-bombshells".... no, no.......... these, these are..........well........... indescribable! Truly they are!! I wish I could send some to you........ they're that good!

I added just a teeny bit more liquids than the recipe called for, just a teeny.... like a *splash* more milk.......... a *skosh* more coffee {don't you love my cooking terms?} and maybe just a *glunk* {which is somewhere between a splash and a skosh} more vanilla than called for in the recipe...... I did this because I did not want to "visit" the Sahara this morning ;-)

And, I baked them for exactly the 18 minutes it says in the recipe...........

Also, as I was making them I discovered I did not in fact have chocolate chips :-( but I did have mini chocolate chips~ and maybe this made them even better! Oh, so yummy, and oh, so good! I am going to certainly make this one of my favorite blogs, and I will be trying more of her wonderful recipes, because goodness knows, if her recipe can give me muffins that come out like this.......... well, then this lady is one smart cookie!!

Hello there! I'd like to introduce myself..... My name is Joyce and I live in northern California, in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley. In 1975, I was blessed by God with a wonderful man named Stephen. Whether or not you believe in such a thing, ours truly was "love at first sight". We were married one year later. In time, we were further blessed with 5 beautiful children, four boys and one girl. Steve was my rock, my protector, my soul mate, and my best friend. We spent 30 precious years on this earth together, and for this I give thanks each and every day of my life. Sadly, my dear Steve passed away in December of 2005. He was such a strong spirit and loving soul that I know he is still here, loving and watching over us.
