Yesterday, I was all set to make Strawberry Muffins, and then this happened...
Oh, hello chocolate chips! Listen, I could blame being almost 34 weeks pregnant all day long, but the truth is, I would add chocolate chips to almost anything, pregnant or not. You guys know that. You know me. You get me. You read my blog, even though I have a chocolate problem. I love you.
While Etta and I were in MN, the boys hit up an eastern Long Island farmers market and got 2 pints of delicious, sweet, juicy strawberries. We've been munching on them daily, but I wanted to make something with the majority of them so I turned to an eastern Long Islander, Ina, and her Strawberry Muffin recipe. Makes sense, right? They were wonderful, and I only made a few alterations. Adding 1 cup of mini chocolate chips, of course, and omitting the cinnamon (I was out) and adding the zest of 1 lemon instead. Then I sent all of them to work with Carson because otherwise they would all end up in my gigantic belly.
Those strawberries are making my mouth water. I wish you could send me a muffin through the screen because I haven't had breakfast yet and I'm too lazy to get up and do something about it...
ReplyDeleteyou are so funny with the weeks and months for your pregnancy and children.. how do you keep it straight??
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriend used to do the same- she'd say "oh my 47 month old daughter…." and I would tell her "girl- come on she's 4!"
