This is the view I get each spring from my kitchen window. I collect Postcards and love to share them. I enjoy baking and will share recipes that I try.
I had been craving muffins all day yesterday so I started looking around the kitchen and saw that I still had quite a few apples that the kids aren’t eating. So then I went looking for a muffin recipe to try. I found one on one of my favourite baking/cooking blogs. The Girl Who Ate Anything you can find the recipe that I started with here.
However like always I changed things up a bit and added about 1/2cup of milk to the mix and a dash of nutmeg with the cinnamon. They turned out really good.
This year I tried a new recipe for the annual Christmas baking exchange that is held for a crafting group that I belong to called Edmonton Crafters, it is a great group of woman from all over the city, some even come in from the outskirts.
Having made them for the exchange and then making 2 more batches for my hubby and kids. The kids are impressed and asked that these make it to annual list of goodies that I bake. I’m more then willing to add them. You can find the recipe here.
I think that they look pretty good.
I’m having problems believing that the year is coming to an end already. Not sure what happened, I remember my mother telling me that time would move faster as I got older but at the time I didn’t believe her. Lesson learned.
I have been thinking the last 2 days about the upcoming year and what I want to accomplish. Last year my goals got derailed and I didn’t realize any of them except my reading goal for the year which I exceeded. Guess I spent too much time waiting.
So far I have 7 goals some of which will be easy and others may not be.
1 to get to the gym 3 times a week
2 to increase my water to 8 full glasses every day
3 to lose 30lbs
4 to write more
5 to read 70 books
6 to finish half of my WIPs
7 to make more of Christmas gifts for next year
