#MuffinMonday



I'm here today in defense of the muffin. Poor thing. It really gets a bad rap and I say without cause or reason. Here's just a couple of insults the muffin has to put up with.

      






See what I mean? Well I'm here to stick up for the muffin because unless it is overbaked, dry, and tasteless muffins are amazing. And they are NOT ugly.

Does these look ugly to you?

And do these flavor profiles seem uninspired to you?

I hope you are seeing my point. And in further defense of the muffin let's discuss the bran one shall we? Bran has a weird reputation. When I was a kid I thought just the word itself sounded like it would taste like nothing. And I do think bran can be tasteless and bland - but just like any ingredient, it depends on what you do with it. People, there are some really good bran muffins out there that deserve our attention. Here's the Sour Cream Bran Muffin recipe from Epicurious, and if it's from Epicurious then you know it's good.

So give the muffin some love and attention today. Your taste buds will thank you for it!

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day
