How It Works Around Here....

Some of you may be aware of my recent affinity for baking muffins. I have a great base recipe and you can just add whatever favourite ingredient you like. Mostly...chocolate chips, a perennial favourite! The other day frozen fruit was on sale at Food Basics....I got all excited about the mixed berry mix and was all set to make "Tim-Horton's-Eat-Your-Heart-Out-Fruit-Explosion" muffins (sorry Janice!) and I went to the freezer and found.....melon and mango, melon and peaches, melon and strawberries. What am I supposed to do with that??? I never heard of melon muffins!!! Should have been more specific when I was writing frozen mixed fruit on the list. But....I thought, what have I got to lose. So....I took out the strawberries mix which also had peaches and pineapple, and yes....one melon ball, chopped them up and made muffins. They turned out to be AMAZING! So when life hands you melons, make muffins!

Can I come over for a muffin and a cry on your shoulder? :D

That's funny Tetcy, the very best recipies it seems , are found by accident. Keep experimenting.
And congratulations to Craig and you guys with his upcoming profession of faith.
