Muffins, muffins and more muffins

I have been busy in the kitchen! My CSA comes every other week. It's tricky trying to come up with recipes based on the ingredients that I receive biweekly. One thing positive that has come out of the CSA pick up is that I'm forced to cook recipes that I don't cook on a regular basis. I have to cook right away otherwise this fresh farm grown food goes bad!

The great thing about this particular post is that you are going to get several different muffin recipes in one post! Rather then posting several different times about the same topic, I figure I will just post the several different recipes under one topic. Muffins.

Muffins are delicious. You can make any sort and it always comes out delicious. What I like about the muffins I make is that they are quick and easy to make. I often will make a couple of batches, throw it in the freezer and have some for the week. I heat it up for a minute if I would like my muffin to be warm. (Who doesn't!) I usually will have one for breakfast or a snack if my day gets to be too busy. I started my muffin affair back in the fall. I loved pumpkin bread. I hated cutting a slice daily. I made muffins and fell in love. Perfect size, no cutting, and delicious. I adapted the three recipes from www.100daysofrealfood.com Feel free to go check out her blog as well.

  2. Sara, they are SO good. I made the batch you see in the picture and it was gone within a few days. Luckily I had more zucchini in my next CSA box and proceeded to bake two more batches. So yummy. Let me know how it comes out for you.
