Muffins and Scones

The last few days have been wet and dreary. It feels like the rain and chill are interminable and we'll never see the sun come out from behind the dark clouds. The air is thick with the fresh earthy scent of fresh rain. If you venture outside even for a moment you return with frizzy...

The thing about moms is that you never seem to really appreciate them until you've grown up. When you're a child mom is your best friend, banisher of monsters and kisser of boo boos. When you're a teenager she's the voice of reason, enforcer of chores and face of dreaded responsibility. When you're in college...

All around is the sound of trickling water. Icicles shrinking and dripping. The wind blows as though breathing a long baited sigh of relief. The birds sing again. The sun burns red through closed eyelids and thaws the chill from the interminable Winter. Spring is here. In case you didn't know, Spring is my favourite...

There's about two feet of snow carpeting the ground. Icicles decorate the eaves troughs. The evergreens slouch under the new weight. The streets haven't been plowed all Winter. A single Autumn leaf clings stubbornly to the frozen ground. The temperature has plummeted to uncomfortable depths. There's only one thing to do when the weather turns...

Could someone please tell me why it is that I can have grey hairs and acne breakouts at the same time? That doesn't seem fair does it? It should be one or the other. Not both. At the same time. It's like my body can't decide what age I am. One minute I'm thirteen with...

This is the first post of its kind, one of many to come. I've decided to experiment in the wonderful world of muffins once every month or perhaps every two weeks. I love muffins. Don't you love muffins? It's cute. It's muffiny. It's Love Muffin. Now with that said I'd like to address a certain...

This muffin has attitude. Just look at them sitting there all unassuming, all casual, all cute. Then you put one in your mouth and it's like, BAM! Flavour town! You remember the original Batman series right? Of course you do. Silly me. So you would obviously recall those hilarious fight sound animations. If not, here...

So I just burnt my nose. Seems odd right? It get's weirder. I burnt the inside of my nose. I was a little too anxious about inhaling the intoxicating scent of a fresh batch of Lemon Blueberry Streusel Muffins that when I opened the oven to check on them I got a face full of...

There is no other recipe that is so simple and yet so personally challenging than Yorkshire Pudding. Three ingredients. Sounds easy? Wrong! I've never had this much trouble with such a small recipe. I guess it's the tiny ones you have to watch out for though right? The smaller the recipe the bigger the chance...
