Call Me Muffin?

I did sort-of-a conversion of a recipe from a lovely blog called “Call Me Cupcake!”.

Here’s a link:

One of the things I changed was the berry. The lady from this blog said the next time she made this recipe she would use raspberries or blueberries. I used raspberries from our garden.

Well my grand dreams for pink cupcakes with white chocolate frosting didn’t quite materialize the way I had hoped. By the time I was done I had what would more aptly be described as raspberry muffins with a “different” color to them. They received a warm reception on more than one front though; so they should not be counted as a total flop. :)

Made any cupcakes or muffins lately? :)

My Kind of Happy Meal

Homemade goodness in beautiful colors. I wouldn’t mind a vintage toy being thrown into the mix, but alas, it was not so.

I made zucchini bread with zucchini from the garden, topped it with blueberry preserves, and had fresh cherries on the side. Yum! :)

See the little, green confetti from the zucchini? :)

Pooky and the To-Do List

Our cat Pooky likes to drink water from a little, blue bowl.

Autumn Scarf On I’m a Lily

I’ve been adding new items to my shop (including a new section for babies) and am not finished! My friend Alex was good enough to model this scarf for me. :)
