Mandarin Mini Muffins

It’s 8:30pm and I feel like I could fall asleep right here in my living room with Beyonce playing and my pink, not-christmas, tree lit up. My apartment smells like maple syrup from some granola I made for work-time snacking. You see, I’m tired. I think it has to do a little bit with getting used to a new job, a little bit to do with the fact that I woke up early today for…

Malted Pumpkin Muffins

I’m not ready for December. You see, my Christmas spirit isn’t intact. My only decoration is this wreath. My only form of celebrating is brewing a cinnamon stick with my coffee. I tried to listen to the She & Him Christmas album and it made me feel weird. I had to switch to Tegan and Sara. Jeez, you guys! What’s a girl to do? I guess, I’ll just keep thinking it’s fall until February! I’m…

Spinach & Cheese Mini Muffins {revisited}

Sometimes you have to put a bright blanket on your couch because your couch is wearing out. Sometimes you have to clean your feelings. Sometimes you have to buy cereal every time you’re at the store even though you have some already. Sometimes you have to fall asleep on the blanket on the couch watching Bored to Death and then stumble-walk to bed at 1am. Sometimes you have to drink vodka sodas and make pulled…

Coffee Cakes, Muffins, Pies, Breads, Cookies

These recipes are all thanks to my mom! She’s quite the baker. And can you believe she’s even in town at the moment?! We’re hanging out in the kitchen Sunday, and I’ll totally fill you know what we make. Coffee Cakes + Muffins Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake – crumby top, swirly middles, oh yeah. Sour Cream Coffee Cake – a bundt with a bunting! My mom’s favorite. Bran Muffins – my mom used to make these in mini…

Sweet Potato Graham Muffins

Rumor has it these are girly, healthy muffins. But let me tell you, boys liked them too, despite the gingham papers. Taryn (friend, stylist, blogger) asked me to make these for the next photo shoot we’d both be at. And I’m so glad I did! These are the perfect muffin to have around when you’re at a photo shoot  or anywhere where lunch is postponed. These kept me from being crazy-hungry. And really, any recipe…

Mini Maple Pancake Muffins + Nutella

I love Nutella. So I’m really glad it has it’s own day. I’m thinking about asking it to be my Valentine this year. Cross your fingers for me! I also love pancakes, and so I’ve been daydreaming about these muffins for weeks. They are especially good topped with Nutella. Or, top them with a Nutella AND a banana slice and get out of town, for real. These are mini, so you can eat them like…

Mini Double Chocolate Donuts {or Chocolate Donut Hole Mini Muffins}

Once, I bought some round sunglasses with the hopes of looking hip like Lady Gaga, but I looked more like a nerdy beatle fan. They broke when I was walking Elliot and talking on the phone with my sister. I’ll only buy sunglasses from Target from now on. All I’m saying is that if you hold these donuts in front of your eyes, you’ll probably look way cooler than I did in those sunglasses. Chocolate…

Jam-Filled Muffins

These muffins are low-fat, I guess. But mostly they are necessary. They are necessary when you’re starving and it’s almost 8 and there is no dinner in the oven. Then you’ll need one of these muffins. You won’t be able to fight it. It’s either this or the tortilla chip crumbs that are in the bag on top of the fridge. What? You don’t eat muffins when you are hungry at 8pm? Why not? These…

Chocolate Chip Muffins

Breakfast is really important to me. It’s right up there with black coffee and dessert. So I guess it goes to show that when there’s chocolate involved in a muffin, I’ll be down. Down all the way. These guys have skills. They will make your early morning feel not so early and they’ll make your late morning feel less lazy. So needless to say, you should make these. And they’re so cute you might want…

One being, when the bottom of a recipe from my mom says “makes oodles…
