Lemon Blueberry Muffins

Lemon Blueberry Muffins Ready to Eat

Whoa baby. I’m back baking muffins! Our current host heard I loved to bake and set me loose in the kitchen with blueberries straight from a friend’s garden. You may know that fresh blueberries are one of my absolute favorite foods, and while I do love standard Blueberry Muffins, I couldn’t bring myself to bake [...]

Date Filled Apple Muffins

Ooey Gooey Date Center

This was my first endeavor with filled muffins. Who knew it was so crazy easy? My husband and I have traveled back to Kerikeri in New Zealand to stay with a naturopath and help them with marketing for their business (Head to Toe Natural Health Clinic). It was so wonderful to walk into the kitchen [...]

Egg Roll-Up Breakfast Burrito

Egg Roll-Up Breakfast Burrito

One of the perks to staying on a farm is all the fresh eggs we can eat. And all the fresh vegetables we can pick from the garden! Right now we are in the far north of New Zealand staying with some great hosts on their farm near 90 Mile Beach. With a day full [...]

Homemade Toasted Muesli

Homemade Toasted Muesli

Since I’ve been in New Zealand all of 5 days, I’ve already started a file on my computer for new recipes that I’ve discovered! This muesli recipe is one of them. And it’s one of my new favorites. Our breakfast since we’ve arrived at this host’s Kiwi Heritage Homestay has consistently been comprised of a fried [...]

Cranberry Apple Crisp

Cranberry Apple Crisp Ready to be Eaten

This is one of the easiest desserts to throw together in the history of desserts. Well, ok, maybe not the easiest. But it requires very little prep and tastes like you slaved over a hot stove for hours. I personally figure that any recipe with fruit can also be eaten for breakfast. Right? I won’t [...]

Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffins

Cinnamon Coffee Cake Muffin-Finished Product

It was a Saturday morning. A lazy Saturday morning. One of those wonderful weekend mornings that just begs for cinnamon rolls. With lots of cream cheese icing. Well, needless to say, we don’t eat packaged cinnamon rolls that are full of bleached flour, sugar, & preservatives as tasty as they (admittedly) are. I searched online [...]

Sunny Side Up Brunch Salad

Sunny Side Up Brunch Salad

As much as I love muffins (and boy do I love muffins), I find that a breakfast without some greens just isn’t complete. Green veggies (whether it’s spinach blended into my smoothie or my Sunny Side Up Salad below) give me a boost of energy for the day, alkalize my body, boost my nutrient intake, [...]

Carrot Raisin Muffins on a Rainy Afternoon

Carrot Raisin Muffins on a Rainy Afternoon

Usually muffins are a weekend breakfast treat. Like cake for breakfast. But the other afternoon I had a craving for a baked good. I needed something warm and moist and comforting. Earlier the day was sunny and the sky was blue (lending itself nicely to a picnic lunch). But the afternoon turned gray and rainy. [...]

Flavor of the Week: Orange Pomegranate Chocolate Chip Muffins

Flavor of the Week: Orange Pomegranate Chocolate Chip Muffins

I have a weakness for muffins. You might have noticed, what with my posts on Banana Chocolate Chip muffins & Carrot Blueberry Muffins. These Orange Pomegranate Chocolate Chip muffins were definitely a blog-worthy success! The coming of fall means pomegranates appear in the grocery store. I can’t tell you how excited I was to see them! I [...]

Flavor of the Week: Carrot Blueberry Muffins

Flavor of the Week: Carrot Blueberry Muffins

I managed to save just enough freshly picked blueberries for a batch of Carrot Blueberry Muffins this weekend. Not an easy task might I add (the saving of the blueberries, not the making of the muffins….those were some dang delicious blueberries!) This recipe is a variation on one of my favorite muffin recipes: Carrot Raisin [...]
