It's another Saturday morning, and I'm about to make my way into the kitchen and whip something up. Usually I'll just bake a cake, but my mom's all about portion control and muffins help her out on that score.

A big "THANKS" goes out to Jennifer for sharing her photo with us! It sure looks tasty!

Muffins, Muffins, Muffins!

I bless the day that I discovered Amazon. You see, I live in Israel, where prices are high and English titles are hard to come by. When I see a book that I want, like 500 Best Muffin Recipes, I just click away and make my purchase. Amazon delivers it straight to my door...all the way across the ocean. It's that easy!
