I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do. The best way to cook, I think, is to take an idea and make it your own and that's kind of what I do with the recipes I've brought here. Some are healthy and some are definitely not, but hopefully they will inspire you to spend more time in your kitchen.

Strawberry Shortcake Muffins


What you need:
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup yogurt (it calls for plain but I used vanilla)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 stick of butter, melted and cooled (I often substitute in applesauce for half or more of the butter to keep the fat content lower)
  • 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
What you need to do:

Preheat oven to 375. Whisk together dry ingredients in large bowl. In a small bowl whisk together eggs and yogurt. Fold wet ingredients into dry. Fold in melted butter, then strawberries. Spray muffin tins with cooking spray [or line with baking papers] and fill about 1/2 to 3/4 full with batter. Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly brown and toothpick comes out clean. Made about 24 muffins.
