I Dream of…Muffins?
Listen to the Universe, kittens. Just do it. Don’t second guess what it’s telling you. Stop doubting that you can do things. Just DO THEM.

Take this to heart. Believe in YOU!
(I have no idea who made this picture, so if it was you please tell me and I’ll credit it!)
I have a very active mind that mulls things over a lot. A LOT. Too much. For every pro, there’s a con. For every yes, there’s a no. While this can sometimes keep me out of trouble, it can almost always keep me from greatness. And guess what, you guys? That’s not cool.
This week has been very eye-opening. I swear, the Universe is telling me things. Every time I turn around, all signs point to YES. To DO IT. To TRUST YOURSELF. And not least of all, to LISTEN TO YOUR HUSBANDIO.
My brain has been swirling all day, playing with numbers, sorting though logistics, praying for a generous influx of cash, picturing cute labels and trying on aprons. Yes. My brain tries on aprons. It’s a joy to live in my head some days.
I feel as though my “to do” list has “to do” lists today. Every point on my master list has a sublist of information and action items that are needed to cross anything off. I’m motivated and scared and excited and anxious and FULL OF ALL THE FEELINGS. All of them. Are you feeling a little blah today? Like, something is missing? It’s your feelings. I stole them. Sorry.
I have a favor to ask of you, my faithful readers. I’m in search of good muffin recipes. I have lots, of course, but it’s always nice to have some input from people who have their tried and true favorites. What do you like in a muffin? What is your go-to muffin of choice? Bonus points if you have a recipe (or a link to one).
So seriously. Tell me about your muffins.
LOL that sounds so dirty….”Tell me about your muffins.”
Hahahaha…I’m glad you caught that! I was going to make the title dirty sounding, too, but decided against it.
It’s like Mean Girls. “Have you had your muffin buttered? Would you like me to butter your muffin?”
lol
i never use a recipe (that’s how we do), but my favourite muffins are loaded with pineapple, ginger and coconut.
idk, maybe: 1 egg, 3/4 cup liquid (milk? oil? water? PINEAPPLE JUICE? whatever!), 1-1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, good spoonful of salt (i like salt), good spoonful fresh grated ginger, 2 teaspoons of soda, 3/4 cup chopped/smushed pineapple, (from a can, fine!), maybe a little less than that of coconut? do you have a mushy banana? put it in there too if you want! batter too dry? add something wet…. batter too wet? add something dry. muffins are pretty forgiving. if you want to be fancy, sprinkle coconut on the tops before baking.
mix. bake until done in an oven you think is hot enough. shove in your facehole.
This is genius! I play around with cooking, and I play around with RECIPES while baking, but to just throw things into a bowl and then into an oven and then into my facehole is NEW AND EXCITING.
One day, I’m gonna name a muffin after you. There may or may not be cassis involved.
i still owe you those cassis jello shots. i’ve only been saying that for FOUR PLUS YEARS.
We will have a grand cassis party. IT WILL BE GRAND!
I cannot help you here, my friend. The only muffin I have to offer is, umm, one of a kind. No recipe for it.
But I’ll gladly let you have it.
I dream of your muffin on the regular, my sweetest friend. I’ll gladly claim it as my own!
try not to travel much, back up all your files and sign anything before feb. 6th 🙂 just a note from your friendly wordpress astrologer, audrey michelle… i do planets, not baking – sorry! 🙂
You know what’s really funny? I tend to get thrown into a tizzy and make a million plans RIGHT BEFORE Mercury goes into retrograde. Almost every time. Bizzaro.
i’d love to do your chart sometime 🙂
I like it when you talk astronomy to me…
Anita, I can’t seem to think straight lately either. I need traffic signs to direct all the swirling thoughts in my head. Perhaps it’s because I have a newborn. You know how the rest goes. No sleep . . . .
Miss you my beautiful friend. I don’t always have time to leave comments on your posts, but I’m savoring each one silently. I’ll get back to you on a muffin recipe. Our go-to is usually banana or blueberry!
My beautiful, beautiful friend. I know all too well how the whole newborn no sleep game is played. I wish you many quiet moments and even MORE moments filled with the laughter of all your offspring.
I miss you, and I look forward to the day when both of us are back in a sane brain space and can have a solid chat.
