Cook and Tell: Blueberry Muffins

04 Jan

It’s the new year. The start of every new year brings new hopes, dreams and resolutions. I’ve been dreaming of a Kitchen Aid stand mixer for a very very long time. This is the year that my dream has been realized. Hubby came through and surprised me. We made room on the counter for this beauty and I promptly put it to work.

My adorable little feet turned 1 today. Time sure does fly. To mark the occasion, I baked blueberry muffins. I know it’s not the traditional cupcakes. But I figured that muffins are probably better for the daycare crew.

After a quick search, using my handy iPhone All Recipe App, I came upon “Blueberry Muffins to Die for”. Who wouldn’t want to try muffins with that title? Luckily, I had all the ingredients on hand. With my new Kitchen Aid stand mixer prep was a breeze. The recipe makes 8 large muffins.  I doubled the recipe (but ran out of sugar) and had enough for 16 regular sized muffins. The muffins are still very tasty even with the lower amount of sugar.

Hopefully the little munchkins will enjoy the muffins and the celebration.

Brunch…best meal of the day

01 Mar

There was a time in not such a distant past when we would meet with our friends V&I and R&M for Sunday brunch in various restaurants in San Francisco. For a while there, our tradition was abandoned due to busy social calendars and other commitments.

This past Sunday we reinvigorated our tradition of Sunday Brunch. This time however, instead of meeting in a quaint cafe in the city we met for brunch at casa la J&A. Home made muffins (blueberry and banana nut bread), egg frittata, and of course no brunch is complete without some mimosas. My cooking sidekick V blew everyone away with her delicious banana nut muffins.

After such a great re-start, we plan on keeping up this tradition.

V, you’re next!

P.S. There have been some requests for the recipe of the banana nut muffins. V kindly allowed me to share it with you. You will find it on the Food Network website.
