Get Baked and Veg Out
Honestly, I should set a new blogging goal of once a month. Pretty much all I think about is how I can fit in more baking, how to perfect various recipes, and how to somehow turn this all into a profitable business. How many posts about muffins are y’all really willing to read? Pervert. Not that kind of muffin. Although maybe having a “back room” in the bakery would help with the profit margin. I’ll have to run that one by the health inspector.
Come in for the poppy-seed muffins, stay for the debauchery!
I did all the baking in the world this weekend. AMAZING apple buttermilk muffins that seriously had me singing and proclaiming to all who would listen that I AM A MUFFIN GODDESS. Super great blueberry muffins. Perfect poppy-seed muffins. Banana bread. Zucchini bread. Banana chocolate chip muffins. Seriously, the only time I turned the oven off was when I was supposed to be making a lasagna. OOPS!
Tonight I have had a super special request for raspberry muffins that I can’t WAIT to try to make. My day started off perfectly with a beautiful friend tearing into my driveway at 6, handing me her frozen raspberries and tearing off into the sunrise. I’m so so so beyond excited to get home and throw on an apron. The more I think about it, the more that truly tells me everything I need to know about my life. If I’m DYING to get home to make muffins, maybe turning that into my career isn’t such a silly idea?
What pulls you out of bed in the mornings? They say that if you do what you love, you don’t work a day in your life. What do you love? If you could design your own career, what would it look like?
So can I give you a challenge? Can you do a GF muffin??? I love fruit and nuts in my muffins. I adore blueberry muffins but haven’t had a good one since I went GF. Just a challenge to you my love.
I can try! People suggest it a lot. I just have NEVER had a GF baked good that I liked at all, so I don’t know if they exist!
Oh they do. I have a pretty darn good gf all purpose flour mix that makes most baked goods taste really decent.
Do you make it yourself or is it store bought? What is it? SHARE, girlfriend!
I buy all the different flours (not cheap) and make it myself.
4 cups brown rice flour
2 cups white rice flour
2 cups potato flour
1 cup tapioca flour
1tsp xantham gum per cup flour (although I’ve halved that and heard that it makes it springier…the xatham gum is what makes it more gluten like). Play around with it 🙂 Coconut flour is also used as well as almond flour. You need a combo. Play around! I directly sub this flour in regular recipes.
Yikes! This sounds like a project. Can you please take my kids for a month? THANKS SO MUCH!
Keep the muffins coming! If it’s something that gets you out of bed it’s worth going after!!
And everything starts somewhere, right? Great bakeries don’t just appear…someone has to open them!
I have a guest room. You can move in. ‘Nuff said.

Sounds like a plan! What should I bake for you?
You know…however the spirit moves you…I’m open-minded… 😉
In that case, come into our back room!

Friend! All you need is a dream, and then a plan, and then a set of balls. Decide you’re gonna do it, and then take the leap.
Remember when I left my career to become a musician? You can do it. I have some ideas. Let’s chat this weekend. xx
You left out “capital.” Or at the very least “credit.”
But yes. Let’s chat. Always and forever!
