It’s been awhile since I’ve done a special project, and it seems rarely do my special projects revolve around baking. This is a little odd because often I prefer baking to cooking. The precise measurements that guarantee a certain chemical reaction that results in (ta-da!) baked good is a wonderful process that clears the mind and creates a delicious final product. Baking is also easier to share with others, and usually easier to transport.
It started with Pepper-Cheddar Muffins, a savory cornbread style muffin with a spicy kick and cheesy goodness. My muffin tin had not seen much action prior to this recipe, so it was nice to bust out this forgotten piece of bake ware.
Then I moved on to a late night baking inspiration: Pumpkin & Cherry Muffins (recipe posting soon). James felt that I had been holding out on him, this hidden talent for baking muffins that I revealed a week before the wedding, but the truth is I had never really thought much about making muffins until now. But really, who doesn’t love a muffin in the morning?
So join me as I launch my first special project in about six months: Muffin Madness. New recipes to post very soon! Look for the category Muffin Madness in the menu bar to the right.
