Zesty Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins
There is just something about orange zest in a baked good that makes it so special. It reminds me of brunch, mimosas, Christmas, and after school snacks. Yet it is such a simple and easy thing to add to a recipe! Simple effort for elegant taste. Whip them up and serve them to everyone! The chocolate chips in these make it really special. I love how the chocolate melts into the batter.

Orange Vanilla Poppy Seed Muffins
Near my home is a lovely European bakery. It has been there for many years and I have been going there since I can remember. I have many memories of this bakery. The first slice of cake I ever had came from this bakery. It was a vanilla cake with mocha frosting. I can’t say that I remember it but I’ve heard that I enjoyed it. Needless to say, after that simple grocery store cakes and ice cream cakes just didn’t cut it. I had to have their cake. On my 18 birthday, I could not decide what cake I wanted. The kind people at that bakery cut half chocolate…

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Latte Muffins
The other day I over heard someone say that they don’t like peanut butter. People who don’t like peanut butter must be crazy. I think that even people who are allergic to peanut butter must like it!

You can spread it on toast, eat it with fruit, eat it with veggies, make cookies with it, spread it on cookies, make drinks with it, use it in savoury peanut sauces, or even just eat it with a spoon. Mmmm delicious, I eat peanut butter every day! One of the possible best combinations is peanut butter and…

Plus its heart-shaped! Who can resist hearts, especially as Valentine’s Day is nearing? I am not sure how much I like silicon pans. It’s supposed to be easier to remove your…
