There are any number of products to take their place – quinoa, chia seeds, flaxseed, acai berries and what not. I am always late hopping on to the bandwagon….
Blueberry Vanilla Muffins
My latest obsession is homemade muffins. They are extremely easy to bake, don’t need frosting and also keep well for a few days. Blueberry muffins are a classic. Though you could make them any time of the year using frozen blueberries, nothing beats the taste of fresh summer berries. A good muffin is really easy…

There’s nothing like a challenge to get you going. Angie (The Novice Gardener), who already hosts the lovely Fiesta Friday link party, is throwing a monthly cooking challenge.

Single-Serve Baked Eggs & Potatoes (Eggs In Pot Or Oeufs En Cocotte)
Good things do come in small packages. This is especially true when it comes to food and food presentation (think cupcakes, cake pops or meringue cookies). But why limit yourself to sweet treats? Any savory dish that goes from oven to table to dishwasher in single-serve bowls is a win-win in my book. I bought…
